[runedscope]

This tumblr ad is just a scam. Lmao tumblr ads are wild and crypto bros are easily scammed

[goldevolution]

when people say dutch does nfts they should mean it like this

[saneriddlefan67]

We need to stop acting like Azul would be a cryptobro, he would be the guy SCAMMING the cryptobros. That man is listening to them rant about the new NFT they brought and how they made 2,56 dollars through Bitcoin, while he's thinking on how to ruin their life.

[dekaydk]

I hope he sold quickly

We know what happened to NFTs a year later.

Wario would be into cryptocurrency and y’all are not ready to hear it.

I’ve been seeing some people getting a bit confused and getting some stuff wrong in the comments of that one post telling the story about the creator of Neopets throwing a hissy fit (Hissi fit lol) over people disliking his idea of a game “that’s just like Neopets but with crypto” and I don’t want to add anything to it to not bother the OP but Neopets has been a hyperfixation of mine since I was 13 and I physically can’t stop myself from going “Um, ackshually ☝️🤓” so I’m gonna do it in my own post. Here’s what happened:

The guy who got super pissed off and started badmouthing Neopets users, ending his tirade with a selfie of him giving Neopets users the finger, Adam Powell, did create Neopets, yes, but he doesn’t own it anymore since it was sold to Viacom in 2005. He has been involved in a few game ventures since but they haven’t been very successful.

His idea wasn’t to “implement NFTs in Neopets”, he’s developing (or planning to) another game that’ll apparently be free to play with some extra paid features, and said features would be paid in some sort of cryptocurrency.

Sadly, the parent company of Neopets, JumpStart, already tried to implement NFTs by partnering with Metaverse back in 2021, with disastrous results, both in the eyes of Neopets players (who hated the idea because NFTs are a scam and terrible for the environment and all) and in the eyes of NFT bros (because the NFTs in question were VERY overpriced given their poor quality and made using stolen assets from Neopets fan sites). The project is apparently still underway but it’s hugely unpopular and tweets made by the official Neopets Metaverse account mostly only gets engagement from NFT bots, if they get any at all.

Back to Adam. He apparently thought people would be “excited about his new game because of the Neopets Metaverse thing”, without knowing how much the fanbase hated the whole thing, and tried to peddle it in the Discord server of the r/Neopets subreddit, a subreddit that has always been VERY vocal against the Neopets NFTs. And well. You can guess how much people weren’t interested in his game. Then, just to make matters worse, people went on the Discord server of his game and saw that it was badly moderated and chock full of homophobic comments made by cryptobros.

Adam gets pissed off at people disliking his game idea and not taking kindly to his comments that “they just don’t understand what crypto is about” and goes on an angry tirade, saying stuff such as how much he wished he never made Neopets because the fanbase sucks, saying he’s going to buy it back just to destroy it and ending in the aforementioned middle finger selfie, all while people clowned on him like crazy. This ended in him getting banned from the Discord server AND from the r/Neopets subreddit. He then started trying to defend himself and demanding to be unbanned in… the comment thread of a news article relating the incident in the Neopets fan site Jellyneo. Last time I checked he was still at it.

He blamed his outburst on “having drunk alcohol while on Sertraline” and has said he wasn’t aware of the homophobic comments in his server and claimed that he doesn’t have anything against LGBT+ people, but he has also made it very clear he doesn’t think he’s in the wrong and won’t apologize for anything.

Top 10 most chaotic Tim Drake headcanons?

1) (stealing this from audreycritter) his parents lied about his age to get him into school a year early for "bragging about their genius kid" purposes, and he doesn't realize this until at the age of eighteen he digs up his birth certificate and it's like oops, I'm still only seventeen!

2) Tim didn't fool Bruce with the fake uncle but he did fool Bruce with the fake "school fundraiser, idc just write a check or smth" routine, which is what he uses to sneak his own personal Batmobile into the budget

3) was an early investor in crypto (bought it as a kid on the dark web) but is now hesitant to cash in because that would mean admitting to Dick Grayson that he's cryptobro adjacent

4) ran habbo hotel scams as a child

5) paid his way into being one of the voice sound effects in Tony Hawk: Ride (aka, the alleged worst Tony Hawk game in the franchise). He's the "ouch!" sound. In an article criticizing the game, they specifically call out the "ouch!" sound as being so annoying they purposely turned the sound effects off.

6) has a YouTube channel where he does "tutorials" on how he built his gaming PC, but the tutorials are impossible for anyone to follow because every single thing he uses is custom made and obscenely expensive. only the best for Tim Drake-Wayne

7) has paid over a thousand dollars for "organic designer weed". The weed was actually cilantro. The drug dealer was actually Jason in disguise

8) Cass doesn't like driving and will crash cars on purpose to get out of the task. Tim is her assigned chauffeur because he's the only one who lets himself get bullied by her whims

9) has a self-destruct button on his phone, which you would think is for normal "don't let bat data fall into the wrong hands" reasons, but it's actually because he wanted at least one grenade at hand at all times. The data-wipe functionality was a bonus, and did not occur to him until Bruce approved his design

10) has requested his dinner be seasoned with "a dash of cocaine" before. Alfred was not amused

EDIT: I guess I had this saved in my drafts for [indeterminate] and never posted this oops

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA if I saved an image of someone's art they're minting as an NFT and reposted it without the nft link but with a link to their blog? On one hand, they're a cryptobro and NFTscare a scam — this feels similar to "taking" a post away from a terf to keep them from getting platformed. On the other hand, they did actually create the art themselves and that feels like art theft. I'm conflicted, so please let me know if this is a dick move or not. Thanks!

What are these acronyms?

Many-Faced's Introduction post

Hello! I'm Many-Faced, but I typically use Tea as a nickname. I'm fine with any nicknames as long as it's clear you're referring to me!

I'm a self-taught artist. I also do animations sometimes! You can occasionally find me participating in Multi Animator Projects or making animation memes and posting them on youtube! Though uh... it's mostly shitposting. Oopsies.

I am Agender!

I use any pronouns :>

This includes neos! Specifically I'm testing the use of ze and xe. Please do keep in mind that I tend towards masculine pronouns over feminine ones, and while I don't mind she/her, I'd prefer they/them, he/him or neos.

Before you interact!

I am a minor!

Please do not bring extremely suggestive or NSFW content anywhere near me or my blog. Not only am I 16, but I am also asexual and get very uncomfortable around those topics.

I sometimes struggle with tone.

Please use tone tags where possible so I don't take a joke as an accusation or whatever! I overthink... way too much. Oopsies..

I do in fact swear a lot

While you'll notice on Youtube I try to stay mostly clean, although I do swear now and then. I do generally swear a lot. Especially on Discord, the swear jar for me and my friends is always overflowing.

I am unhinged and I talk and type faster than I think

If I say something weird or irrational and need to go back and correct myself, yeah that's normal, it happens a lot.

I am Autistic and have ADHD

It's unlikely to cause any problems further that what I've already mentioned, but as mentioned before please please PLEASE tonetags where you can, I don't wanna misread something

Do NOT interact:

If you support any sort of discrimination. Any discriminatory messages will be immediately deleted and you will get no response, I'm not fuelling someone like that.

If you use AI unethically. Unlike many other artists, I am neutral on AI. If it was ethical, I could see the benefits, yes, but it isn't. We're using in a way that harms creatives, replacing them with robots that cannot ever truly make anything new. So if you pedal AI 'art' or think a movie created by all AI would be so 'great', you can leave now.

Cryptobros. Don't pedal me your scam coin, because I'm not buying it.

If you're just here to send hate and start drama. Seriously, if you have a genuine criticism I'm here to listen, but if you're just hating to hate, what are you even doing?

Proshippers. I hope I don't need to explain why some relationships are actually just illegal. Illegal things in general obviously are not welcome here.

Hey look, Cool people!

@darkhatkid - the shadow in the corner of my room that tells me to draw insane shit

@mugzymiik - absolute nutcase, don't trust em ever, e likes kissing shapes and robots/lhj (they have also beta read a few of my fanfics!)

My Fandoms

This list may be rarely up to date... Don't be surprised if I suddenly spawn in with a bunch of art for a fandom not on the list.

Rain World

Warrior Cats

JSAB

Stray

Hazbin Hotel

Inscryption

Nine Sols

Worldless

My AUs and Stories

The Halfway - An original work made from the ground up by me that asks the question 'if there are multiple realities, what's between them?' Sounds all philosophical, right? Well, kind of, but also I just found it funny to turn vague concepts into insane pseudo-deities and put them through the wringer of existing. A serious story with a comedic streak, hopefully.

JSAB: Reloaded - A JSAB AU. I don't currently have much to say about it since it's under reconstruction. Remind me to rewrite this at some point when I get the story nailed down.

Rain World: False Affirmative - A Rain World AU. Asked the question 'what if Five Pebbles succeeded in making the taboo bypass?' and snowballed into an entire AU with a zombie virus rot and a whole lineup of new slugcats and iterators while also expanding on the canon ones.

Worldless: Polarized - A worldless AU that is sort of on a semi-hiatus.

Other socials!

Want to find me somewhere else? Here's where you can!

Other/Notes

Please do not send me random art requests in my askbox!

Moots, dw, ya cool, I won't met mad at you for doing that [don't expect me to actually do it though,, I might,, maybe].

What I don't want is random followers sending me art requests, even if it's of fandom characters from fandoms I'm in. I don't reaally like being asked to do something by someone I don't know well. This has happened a few times and I promise I'm not mad at any of you! Just keep this in mind, please ^^

[waheelawhisperer]

Hmm worst questions.

Which arknights (or other media) characters would most likely get involved in crypto/nfts and truly believe in it.

For Baldur's Gate 3:

Wyll would probably fall for NFTs and crypto scams unironically

Mizora would actively run crypto scams with the full intention of rugpulling her investors and bolting with the money

Astarion would shill crypto specifically for the purpose of parting idiots from their money

Lae'zel is based and thinks crypto is stupid

Karlach unironically likes the stupid monkey JPEGs but she's smart enough to realize she can just right click them if she wants one

For Arknights:

Vigil uses crypto to launder money

U-Official tries selling NFTs right as the market crashes

Ferdinand Clooney is definitely a cryptobro

Closure has run at least one crypto scam to keep Rhodes Island's budget in the black

Ho'olheyak loves crypto because it gives her a way to steal money from idiots

I'm 50/50 on whether SilverAsh realizes crypto is a meme or goes full techbro but Gnosis definitely loses money on some shitcoin

[sacrivn]

OH, actually, heres a question- in the game the main cryptocurrency they use is asta....something- the name escapes me- but i am curious, are their other types that are used? how often do the Cryptobros make it lose it's value? and if it hasnt, how has the underground regulated it enough to keep its value consistent?

oooh!

there’s other cryptocurrencies used as well for transactions outside of las viles, but las viles only uses astatine for crypto. cryptobros have tried to ruin it w/ runaway scams, but it’s regulated enough to where they end up being found and shot dead if they try. it used to be at a much higher value at like 5k per 1 astatine, but it got devalued by cryptobros so it’s now 2.5k per 1 astatine

[schnuffel-danny]

Would Vlad consider AI art to be real art as well? Is he a cryptobro?

Oh no he isn't a cryptobro, he's just putting on the image of one. He's the guy who keeps a gun next to his printer so he can shoot it if it makes a weird noise, but he also owns 15 self driving cars that all sit and rot unused in their own garage because he would rather die again than sit in one of those abominations. They are there for photos only, and if any of them even seem a bit off they are sent to the greener pastures beyond the rainbow bridge... Vlad is a billionaire innovator who has built his fortune on nothing but his own intelligence and hard work, at least that's what he wants the world to think, and so, if there's a new trend in the techbro scene he jumps on it, because he knows people view him as some kind of genius and will likely jump onto whatever crypto scam he comes up with. Vlad has a carefully cultivated image of a technological savant from whom the sky is the limit, because he knows that's the guy the media will listen to and the public will idolize, and there's easy money in the business of fooling people. He doesn't think AI art is real art (UNLESS it's the Maddie hologram doing little doodles, she is a truer artist than any of us will ever be in his eyes), he doesn't believe the metaverse is the future, but dear god is he hoping everyone around him believes in that shit because he can use that to his advantage. He's just an asshole.

[gaykarstaagforever]

This is one of those articles that pisses me off because it amplifies and legitimizes what is, in reality, one fucking stupid shithead being a piece of trash on Twitter.

The New Hampshire "wing" of the Libertarian party is basically one guy, Jeremy Kauffman, who is a racist anti-government cryptobro maybe 3 people agree with about anything. He keeps running for office and failing, and every time that happens he goes on the "official" Twitter account of the NHLP (which he runs, because, again, by this point, the NHLP is almost literally just him) and yells about how he only lost because the media is out to destroy him, and the national libertarian party are in fact secret gay communists who can't handle how PURE and REAL he is. I'm not exaggerating. He's been doing this since at least 2020.

Most libertarians are anti-regulation and may get into some lite Sovereign Citizen crap. Kauffman is basically an anarchist who wants people like him to all move to New Hampshire so they can help him seize the state and declare it "free."

Free to do what? Well, let him run crypto scams, which is another thing he does that he keeps getting in trouble for.

His Twitter activity is a mix of him lashing out at his many perceived enemies, and teenaged edgelord shit from like 2001, because he knows Corporate Media will continue to report on it because it's from an "official" state branch of a political party. He has previously said child labor laws should be abolished because making kids do manual labor is "good" for them, and that any reporters he doesn't like should be imprisioned or exiled from the country. He got into a huge fight with the other New Hampshire libertarians over this, because they are sick of him embarrassing them. But for whatever reason they can't dislodge him from claiming to hold the party banner.

He's also been either pro-Trump or calling MAGA people socialists, depending on what fight he's in the middle of with whoever this week.

NONE of this is in this shit ABC News article. I had to research this. And I'm not getting paid to inform people.

New Hampshire libertarians aren't calling for violence against Harris. One known-asshole is being a troll on Twitter. That's all this is.

...I mean libertarians suck, and most of them are only that because they're rich white guys who want to be able to break any laws they don't like and bully people without consequences. But they're not all Jeremy Kauffman, and he shouldn't be allowed to represent them. They hate him, too.

Tumblr has hot babe porn bots, twitter has cryptobro scam bots, i think they should kiss

[palant1r]

death note characters and whether or not they'd get into crypto/NFTs

L: is an early adopter of crypto and its accompanying schemes, gets in early, suckers in a bunch of people and dumps all his coin, making billions in the process

Light: knows it's a scam but believes he can come out on top because he's smarter than everyone else. loses a TON of money but makes it all back through social engineering rugpulls, then wipes all evidence of his involvement from the internet and kills anyone who finds out he used to have bitcoin

Misa: you know how all those celebrities got their own bored apes to shill the project to the masses and assign them legitimacy? yeah

Matsuda: as misa's manager, is responsible for negotiating said NFT deals. at first he thinks NFTS are the Hot New Thing but comes away from the experience a few percentage points more sympathetic to Kira because of how jaded with humanity he becomes

Soichirou: doesn't know what a blockchain is

Mikami: kills some silicon valley twitter bros who try to make "Kiracoin" a thing. light is mad at him for this because a currency entirely dependent on his own popularity that allows him to track all transactions made with it on a public ledger is GREAT for him

Near: uses the L persona to call cryptobros losers on TV while using L's ethereum money to buy Hot Wheels

Mello: right click saves NFTs and changes his twitter icon to them

Matt: unironically buys NFTs
