So every time I change my profile photo my complimentary blue checkmark will be hidden to make sure it is still me? Guess I’ll change to a new coconut photo daily because I like the idea of tying up resources at X. “It’s still a coconut, but how do we know it’s the same guy?”😂

Buying crap you don’t want and expecting it to go up in value isn’t a scam, it’s just stupid. Buy art you love from artists you want to see succeed for prices you can afford with the assumption you won’t be able to resell it and you will never be disappointed.

Hot Take: NFT collectors worry far too much about the token and chain failure (unlikely) & not nearly enough about the art and art storage failure (highly likely). Most startups fail. All NFT platforms are startups. No such thing as forever anything. Ask how the art is stored.🧠
