I dunno, 300 customers buying in this speculator boom at a $1000 minimum sounds like way less backer interest then if Doug sold 30,000 sketches for $10 each.

@FROG did the only decent thing that you can do in a situation like this and noped out of the stream the moment he saw where it was headed. It would have been pretty funny if the pair of leering degenerates up top had done likewise, leaving this attention-thirsty young lady to take care of her bodily functions in privacy.
It never bodes well for communities of any kind when shop-soiled Courtney Love wannabes like this are allowed a foothold. There are always a few fedora-tippers who will leap to the defence of m'lady. The next thing you know, she's revelling in her role as Helen of Troy while, around her, former allies are drawing up battle lines.

That seems worse. The base image for every one is exactly the same. One has to surrender every bit of dignity to peddle that shit. Shameless. Remember this is the same guy who was struggling until he latched onto the rigged voting machine lost cause and swindled all those people. He'd still be doing it if he hadn't been kicked off Youtube.

Its worse than Teenage Mutant Battletoads in that you are literally buying nothing at all. What you are buying is a record in a blockchain stored on a server.
When you buy from FROG, you get paper comics, happymeal toys, a cardboard box or a lunchbox. With this you are promised nothing and get nothing.
Its the perfection of the business model. And in a sense, its just a more efficient model than the slabbed back-issue market that CGC created. I mean whats
the difference between owning the rights to a picture and owning a slabbed comic that you can never read or even touch?
Welcome to the age of faith-based economics. Things are worth what people believe they are worth.

it’s the art scene. People have paid much more for a blank canvas with a dot on it just because an artist with a known name said it had some meaning behind It.

Yeah. This is actually very similar to the way Warren Ellis started with his entourage. Once things go down this road, its difficult to ever stop.

Broken down to its most basic form an NFT is just a large number. Imagine paying $1000 for a number.

Shots fired!
Not sure what triggered that, apparently there's an argument about KF going on in Frog's chat right now? I clicked on this stream by accident, they're nothing but unentertaining forced infomercials now.
EDIT: this is chuckle-worthy:

Its just tard wars stuff. The tard warriors are working their way through everything and everyone trying to get people to line up on one side or the other. It would be best not to encourage any more of them or any more of their nonsense to show up here.

I just realized there's actually someone in chat named named KiwiComics. I won't be bothered to recap the beef or figure out who that person is. Sketch is still around spamming the fuck out of the place. God only knows how I ever found this entertaining.
Almost makes me miss Liam and Micah.
Almost.

I didn't watch whatever shit this went down on, but it's amusing to see Well Read is cranking up the level of retardation and assuming Kiwi Comics has anything to do with the Farms. At least, I'm not aware the dude is, I don't really know who the fuck they are.

It's manufactured now though. Rasslin' beefs. Dwindling interest.

It seems like the images are being procedurally generated from a set of assets and poses that work together. That said, there is some original art there - sort by highest last sale to see some of them.
Well, an NFT is like a particular "bitcoin." Why do bitcoins have value? Because people have decided that they have value - because a buyer and a seller agreed on a price and an exchange was made. This is also why cars or raisins or shiny rocks (or dollars) have value. You in particular might not find any value in a shiny rock or an NFT or a bitcoin, and that's okay, but some people do.
At any rate, these are the current values for the NFTs. An NFT may have gone up in value since its initial sale, but Doug doesn't get that new value. It's like if you sell someone a shiny rock for $5 and then they sell that shiny rock for $10, you still only have $5, not the $10 that the subsequent seller got. All that is to say that I wonder what the original values for these tokens were.

That's Well Read User 1, some obscure pro-Smiller and Doug TenNapel guy from the Christian sect of former CG. He hosted a review livestream which was a quasi comic book review show and some wannabe Oz Show bloodsports stream. His show imploded with internal drama several weeks ago, which I covered in a post here.
Prior to that he was known as the guy who sperged out about Warcampaign gate keeping the Christians and then refunded Cash Grab in protest after Cecil took his wrench away. He was frequently brought on Live with Liam and The Oz Show to serve as a punching bag for almost everyone in CG. Unfortunately those streams are no longer available but Mister Dongs wrote up one such stream in a post here. I'm not sure if the original Cecil stream which triggered the drama still exists, I can't be bothered looking for it.
There is this courtesy of Mister Dongs.
This is a site dedicated to cataloging tards, if he turns up here and starts his nonsense he'll probably be declared halal and end up like ryu289.

Umm, no. I'm not sorting shit. The blockchain is a representation of numbers being moved around to/from accounts represented by other numbers. An NFT is just one of those numbers, nothing tangible. It would be different if an NFT was a physical object you could hold but the entire idea is to eliminate the inconvenience of assets being physical objects by pretending that numbers are real and valuable things. It is the epitome of the greed-based society we've devolved into - one where even get-rich-quick schemes have become lazier (as if that were even possible).
P.S. the very first CG NFT EVER was minted by............... me. That's how much of a joke it is.
EDIT:
EDIT2: Jesus dude, the 'Shot's fired' thing was just a metaphor
Because that's a normal thing to keep within short reach of the comic-drawing table. Maybe there's something to that meth lab rumor after all?

Richard on tattletails, weight loss, twitter, addiction, diet pills, scooby doo pencils, conventions, second grade, living in an apartment and drugs.
Richard got angry because someone at the gym told him that the machine he was going to use had not been cleaned. He was upset, not at it being dirty, but being told by someone that it was dirty. Its stream of consciousness from there until his conclusion that Twitter is instantly addictive for reasons. Also, leaving twitter is not enough because you have to really leave twitter.
The guy really needs to get out more.

There are guys who have unironically told me that they find Witten and this chick hot.
I am convinced that these people must be castrated for the good of the human race. They want to stick their dick in stupid and run the risk of creating more stupid. Shame on them.
Funny thing is that these same idiots are often the ones that sperg about fiat currency and how the US dollar is gonna collapse tomorrow. Our money has to be backed by some precious metal... but check out my NFTs guys!!!
Who the FUCK is KiwiComics?
Pass. Well Read is boring AF.
He's not THAT 'tarded. But he's still pretty fucking retarded.

Pretty sure the idiots buying NFT's off Doug aren't convinced they're "saving comics".
They're more like crypto speculators and retard art collectors, not spergs with polybagged Youngblood and Spawn books intermixed with their 90's Penthouse spank rags and a burning need to register their outrage against Tess Fowler and Tom King.
So yeah, I'd say it's different.
Doug's selling the latest fad like Beany Babies, Cabbage Patch Kids or Tickle me Pedo back in the day. Ethan's selling culture war to people who believe in him.
What do you wanna bet CGers see the bank Doug is making and follow suit.
Maybe even Ethan will open an NFT shop...
EDIT: It would be funny if Ethan pushed back delivery on Rekt Planet agian to 2023 because he was busy doing head sketches to sell as NFT's.
It's not like this is the first or even second time in CG.
How much do you want for it???
They all look like they want to be there so badly.
Malin must be talking.
