Coaches in the NFL used to wear suits. Now they have to wear team swag and get permission from the NFL if they want to wear a suit. ---

I’m really agitated by the fact that this shitty NFT sale, with awful pictures of an awful person, has earned more money in 24 hours than I will make in a lifetime. Regular people are working their asses off every week just to make rent, and this guy hires someone to make terrible photoshops and makes millions off of it. ---

Just think of it as horrible people passing money around among themselves. It’s a completely closed system, and on average, nobody is earning or losing anything. ---

Is there a term for that? Surely it must be fraudulent on some level (or very suspect). I mean, if I buy a Bic pen from you for $1 and you buy it back for $10 and I buy it back for $100 can I go to a bank and now say I have $100 of collateral in that Bic pen? (add more people to the transaction but basic premise remains) Meanwhile, Trump really has $4.455 million in the bank. Sorry if this is a hijack. ---

I think that’s an inflation scheme, something similar happened in the retro video game market. > **[Retro Video Game Market Called Out As Scam In Video Exposé](https://screenrant.com/retro-video-game-market-scam-video-expose/)** > > A shocking video makes claims of auction fraud. Basically, you have a buyer and a seller conspiring in an auction to artificially drive up the price of a commodity, and then once the price gets really high in the mind of the public, sell it to others at an insanely high price. When that sort of collusion occurs, it’s fraud. ---

Note: from an article that whack-a-mole linked to, not his words. And how many of those sales were made to insiders, or to Trump himself? Oh, they won’t tell anyone that? pump n dump. Insiders buy the “stock” and inflate the price. Sell at inflated prices to suckers. Dump the stock. Walk away with the money. Suckers then realize there is no market for the garbage. In the exchanges, there are rules, regulations and regulators. With NFT’s there are winners and suckers. ---
