Nobody Cares: the Non-Fungible Thread

Aaaaand.....GO!




I've never been an Archie fan and was under the impression that it was just a weird faux-nostalgia driven property based on 50's TV stereotypes, so I was confused about why children would be in an Archie Comics fan discord; but joke's on me - apparently Archie is this whole slightly-less-complicated-than-DC comic universe spanning a few different genres and even including TV shows like "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" and some dark teen drama from the 2010s called "Riverdale", so I guess it parses.

Yup, pretty much, it was around I think the the 60s or maybe early 70s, iirc

Uh, for a readable summary of the Archie NFT lunacy:

I could never deflate a tire that much.

FYI, "tumbling" in cryptocurrency is when a large number of unrelated people all pay their e-coins into a pool which then redistributes the coins randomly back to everyone (often a particular person's depositing wallet and receiving wallet(s) are different) - so everyone ends up with the same "amount" of e-coins but they're not the same specific e-coins anymore and they're not in the same wallets. This is money laundering; it obfuscates the normally indelible "custody chain" of the individual coins in order to make quantities of e-money harder to track across accounts. A large number of people can just spontaneously agree to do this together, but there are also exchanges that offer this behavior for a fee as an anonymizing service.

Maybe get screenshots of the tweets, that account could disappear in a flash.

Couldn't find the Rappler article, so here's another random news story about the topic for those of us who aren't satisfied with just looking at the pictures.

"Called it back because I suspected fraud"

I do the same thing when I suspect fraud, because I am a genius fraud investigator.

Because if the number is fraud, they have to tell you.

Because if the number is fraud, they have to tell you.

Especially if you ask them three times, otherwise it's legally entrapment

This emoji HAS been changed in the last few hours due to the reaction, but the fact it happened to begin with is worth noting.




That last part makes it being a coincidence - while definitely possible - kind of a tough sell, given a lot of ultra-conservative connections to crypto. But who knows.

Coinbase launches social NFT marketplace in limited beta, just as NFT sales dive

It looks like Instagram meets OpenSea.

www.theverge.com

Coinbase announced on Wednesday that its NFT marketplace is now in beta and accessible to “a small set of beta testers who’ll be invited based on their position” on its waitlist. The company is looking to take on established players in the space by adding social features, like a comment system (with upvotes and downvotes) and an algorithmic feed.

Just what NFTs have been lacking: A social media platform!
