"Zoe wasn’t an arsonist. Now 21, she’s a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill. Online, in the world of memes and 280-character messages, Zoe lives out her alter ego as the always devious, “Disaster Girl.”

How about one with “My neighbors tried to make me wear a mask outdoors.”
How long before somebody figures out how to hack a blockchain?
Oh THAT one! I’ve always liked that one.
Very easy to apply in almost any circumstance.
Cute and mischievous. Who hasn’t wished to have that power at one time or another?
Well, she can use the money to go to college and buy a house. Very nice.
My favorite disaster girl meme is “spider is dead”
I liked...”Should have bought the Girl Scout cookies”
They work by separating stupid people from their money.
“and people care about which instance is definitive”
There’s the rub. In the digital age where copying & editing is trivial, few people really care which instance is definitive, and that percentage is going to keep shrinking.
I figure this is just a stopgap measure to try to hold back the inevitable change that the technology is bringing but it’s doomed to fail.
“My first twitt has still not taken place and likely never will”
well, that certainly makes it EXTREMELY rare!
No, there are cases where people actually care about original/definitive - to the point they’ll pay great sums for it.
It’s like signed prints of photographs/lithographs/etc, where any number of copies could have been made, or “good enough” copies are cheaply available - the scribble “1/10, Ansel Adams” adds a lot of zeros to the price because it’s what the artist personally made and certified as original and definitive (even if there’s a few of them).
Knowing much about digital recompression and editing, I’d pay a good buck for a certified original of some all-digital art/music, and have paid extra for high quality renditions from trustworthy sources. I’ve lamented not being able to find clean copies of much-edited content where originals are hard/impossible to find.
NFTs are not just a scam. Scammers may take advantage, as with any technology, but the purpose is sound.
Where’s boohoo girl?
So who owns Tourist Guy on top of the WTC, photoshopped for 9-11?
Wow!
She could be a champion in a corn-on-the-cob eating contest...
Perfect example. Getting a perfect copy of the original is practically impossible. It’s a desirable work. It has been badly copied and edited and mutilated innumerable times.
NFT would facilitate finding the owner, creator, and definitive copy by attaching a financial incentive in a respectable catalog/market.
Ain’t capitalism the GREATEST!
Amazed, I am. A half a millionaire!
Thank you!
Yes if she converts Ether to cash. It’s like Bitcoin................
