He actually was pushing NFTs but has since deleted his tweet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26434769

No, I didn’t. I made my account private and stopped using twitter. And the actual tweet says the opposite - that NFTs would need to develop some kind of cultural grounding for them to become a investment, which they didn’t have at the time and never got, and without that this would just be a speculative bubble, which is exactly what happened.

I made it very clear that I thought NFTs were a speculative bubble. I never suggested anyone should buy any crypto-related instrument. The idea that I was ‘shilling for crypto’ is something you would only say if you’re an idiot, as the OP and a few others on this thread clearly are.

Thankfully your lies are easily verified as ddg has the cached version:

"NFTs chang the world from "first to invent" (or create) to "first to file". Creators may be forced to make every first publication an NFT drop, just so they can assure ownership."

You are clearly an idiot, a liar, and an asshole no one should work with. Thank you for outing yourself.

That quote is actually from "Scott Rackey" and not the OP: https://web.archive.org/web/20220603095222/https://twitter.c...

No, I've never said that, and never thought that. The actual text in that tweet is: " The blockchain can't lie, but you can lie to the blockchain"

You don't know how to use Search, and this is beyond anything worth engaging with.
