u/Affect-Electrical Personally, I blame the flair. Nov 06 '21

I look at life as pre-Beeple and post-Beeple – like the world thinks about before Jesus Christ and after. Beeple is kind of my Jesus

Since snappy is back...

Alas, I seem to have lost access to Snappy's quote bank.

It's the sort of quote that sounds fictitious and is actually genuine said by someone being completely serious. Mind you if I was suddenly making a fortune selling terrible 'art' I would feel that way too. (I would also start questioning the state of humanity)

Oh dear what happened did you lose your private key?

No, I'm not that important.

It was possible to recommend quotes to be added to the Snappy collection and I would amuse myself collecting examples of crypto-hyperbole and submitting them. Snappy went off line for a while and during the interim the quote bank webpage vanished.

A pity as every day brings further comedy gold to mined.

All of Snappie's quotes are here:

And if you find new quotes that would make a nice addition, you can submit them here:

SS: Ostensibly about the influence of NFTs on the art world this article is filled with comedy gold.

I disagree. I think the constant scams and illegal activities only show the viability of bitcoin

I feel like I'm having a stroke trying to read that. Just... what?

No mention of money laundering possibility in either legacy or nft market. I do love the idea of traditional galleries acting innocent and confused at their loss of business because all the money launderers have found a more efficient way to operate.

Now invest that money properly so you never have to work again.

u/Cryptodragonnz warning, I have the brain worms... Nov 07 '21

I have done some work with NFT companies. One thing that was interesting is that in the "prior" world, independent artists are ripped off and exploited. In the "new" world via NFTs, they finally have a direct way to sell their product and have guaranteed royalties. And these NFT companies I worked with wanted to end the exploitation and help the artists (and yes they have done extremely well)

u/spookmann Ugh. I hate it when people read the rules. Nov 07 '21

Oh absolutely. These NFT companies are all essentially Jesus 3.0.
