Whenever someone asks "how stupid can someone get?" im just going to point to this and say "people thought a blow job reference was a smart investment and lost their money"
I think most of them thought they would be the pumpers and dumpers and not the ones holding the bag. Saw influencers pull the same sort of shit a few years ago. "Here is how I made money quickly scamming others by pump and dumping memes Musk references". (This is still a confidence scam and the blame should be put on the people pulling it and not the dumb greedy victims imho).

Simpsons was right: I am no longer "with it" and it's weird and scary.

I was actually kinda happy a few of the classic subjects of memes got some money from the nonsense NFT craze.
But this is bullshit.

When I was a kid, inventing your own currency and circulating it was illegal, why the fuck is it not anymore??

Honestly, it's the laziness that gets me. It's the resourceful and proactive degenerates that get my respect.
