every one of my posts is 100% serious and describes something that has happened or is a premonition of something that will happen #apefest

all jokes aside, yeah, the #apefest hashtag on twitter was chock full of people who woke up early in the morning with tweets struggling to make sense of burns on their eyes and skin

now it's full of cryptogrifters saying shit like "When your eyesight returns, come & have a look at our collection. " nft link

something i love is that NFTs were supposed to provide a way to make a cryptographically timestamped message with verifiable authorship

but nobody is using that, and bored ape's twitter thread about the blinded attendees ended with this message, because NFT threads are full of scamscams

This is the final tweet in this thread. Anything below this that looks like us is spam/phishing links. Do not click on links unless you have determined they are safe. You can also cross-reference with http://crouton.net and official brand communication channels.

lol. lmao.

(editorial note: i added the crouton)

I feel a little bad for them tbh. That's such a shockingly horrible thing to have happen to you even if you're a dolt and a sucker.

i share this sentiment

i have no qualms against people with spare money shelling it out to scamscams while ignoring the mounting evidence that it's a scam

(i call it a "scamscam" because NFTs are like a scam on top of a scam. fraudulent nfts are a scamscamscam. append an extra scam if u agree capitalism is a scam #scamscamscamscam)

but the space is also filled with a lot of enthusiastic artists, programmers, etc. who aren't just investbros but truly believed optimistically that Blockchain Will Solve Thing. boredape is kind of adjacent to that

on the other hand, a lot of the most vocal people who were blinded seem to be using their fame to promote more coinshit and didn't actually get blinded. so i think actually my sympathies waned over these past few paragraphs #apefest
