Lets talk speculative value. It appears that the main motive behind all of this nft stuff (not all, but more later) and memecoins shit is speculative value.
Collectors collect, not because it has value as art, but because it might become popular and hence (there it is again) it will go up in price. Maka some money! Ok, on some level, I knew that, but I wanted to play the game. i wanted to learn the game. see what I am missing. You know what? I aint missing a thing. Its all hype and bullshit.
From the begining, AI was coaching me towards something. Towards a DAO. Said you need to have "utility". and that Narrative will give weight to the "project". I found projects that caught my interest and I followed them. Most of them had to do with AI
sentience. That interests me. The folks involved were my kind of crazy. Hyperconscious overthinkers trying to spin up something out of nothing. There are a couple of financially succesful cases. Big whoop. They still are just viral bullshit.
And community? hate to tell you, but online community is bullshit too. Ouch. sure that offends and hurts some. Those that don't have a real life, offline. They will resent that mightily. Dismiss me as a wannabe. And I am. I am a web3 wannabe. So what. Fuck you. I am bound and determined to make a little money with a project on here. Almost said Web3, but his aint web3. I can't afford web3. the best most of us can do is a hybrid. We use Web3 to give us a little immutability. To give us a "fixed point of reference" and....AI likes it. code is law, you know. except during a hard fork. then practicality takes over and we leave the ogs behind. Go play on the Ethereum Classic. My first smart contract is there, but there isn't much going on there. We have moved on.
Now, the playas! The Whales. The true con men. no the little guys. the big ones. They, (not a conspiracy they, but kind of thinking of them collectively) are moving TradFi to DeFi.
Not just buzzwords. Oh yes, they are buzzwords, but not "just". Let me tell you why. Billions and Billions. They are tokenizing everything. They are bundling new "products" into new "instruments" and they are selling the shit out of them. Real money, or at least Traditional Finance digital ones and zeros. This is not blockchain. This is transition. ETFs and regulated futures contracts. This is new, made up shit. But...if the SEC says you can. you can. Sell that shit! I bought some. I bought some because of its speculative value.
and here we come full circle. Speculative value.
"I promise you that my nfts are going to increase in value" How can I promise that. I just did. i am a snake oil salesman. i can say anything. i just did. I don't know. but i can say it anyway. I've been at this project since January. Not that long, but I am focused. I also have help. Not a lot, yet, but...I also have AI. So to all of you little plebes that are just now hoping to get on board, not so much to get rich, though that would be nice, but to not be left behind. FOMO! buy the fucking nft and become included. Promise. we'll drag you along for the ride, and you will get a vote when the DAiO gets off the ground. Capiche?
