Stike Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) As if a NFT isn't bad enough he refers to his Hamer Standard simply as an "Explorer". It's probably a stupid peeve of mine but it's a peeve all the same. https://fb.watch/gZW6yI6X3d/?mibextid=d7fsu2 Edited November 23, 2022 by Stike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a stupid idea that some stupid people fell for because some scammers convinced them there was value in it.  5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with Rick is that by now he must know that it's a pile of dogshit, yet here he is. Pitiful money grab from his fanbase. A shrinking, aging fanbase. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shark Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 It's not even an original concept. Limited "Prints" of famous art have been available for as long as I can remember. A digital copy of something collectible is a logical progression. The problem with collectibles is that the "market" created inflates the value of the item to a point that nobody would ever buy it at auction or accumulate all the ownership. So, appreciation in value of the "shares" doesn't really occur. The IRS has stated that losses in these investments is open to "review". In my business, you don't every want to be "reviewed". The IRS never plays "fair". 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
