Debatable. My $300,000 FANG job was bullshit. In the end I worked 6 hours a week and was still considered a top performer. I had to quit because of how bored I was. Either the job was bullshit or I’m just very very competent. I lean towards the former though.
I know what you mean, from a certain perspective. I do nothing most days, but internal teams use the platforms I built/developed. I’m around to janitor problems now, since I “own” them. Being an SME on a thing can seem like bullshit, but my presence and knowledge is still valuable to those users. Still critical in a crisis too. Also I can take like 4 hour naps and work on my hobbies. Maybe just try finding other things to do lol
> drugs and heart disease being the main cause of Floyd's death
It's Floyd's fault, he was minutes from death's door, wheezing and barely hanging on to life, when the police showed up and tried to extend his life by kneeling on his neck, but he was too ill and he passed away as if by coincidence
Do NFT's really only have value upon their first sale? Wouldn't that be basically a donation to Elon with no expectation of value on the secondary market?
Otherwise known as the reason large art sales exist: Money laundering et al.
It is very convenient when you get to call your money transfer "A Sale". If the thing you're buying has a publicly verifiable (albeit dubious/preposterous) market value, you aren't even committing fraud!
Resale of an NFT is different; since you can look up previous owners of the NFT there's a way to validate "yes this NFT is the one originally sold by Elon".
The NFT has value Because it was the one Elon sold and signified as legit, versus the NFT some random person sold
