The technology is a little more complex than that. Legit artists can sell their art digitally now (obviously if theyre selling for reasonable priced and not Ridiculously High prices Just Because its an NFT).You can also own a portion of an actual property via an NFT. (Useful if you cant afford a whole property).
But the industry is still immature so easy for scammers to take advantage of the hype.
F*** American regulators. Theyre completely useless in this industry. They dont go after pump and dump schemes (too subjective to prove in court I guess). They havent even made sure exchanges are legit solvent. And have provided No clear rules or guidelines for crypto companies to follow.
Instead theyve spent the last 2 years suing Ripple, an American company whose completely transparent, and whose in the business of a worldwide payment system which could compete with (or integrate with) the banking sector and PayPal.
Oh but they went after Kim Kardashian for promoting a crypto with a tweet one time. But never went after the people who were actually Behind that crypto (which likely was a pump and dump scheme).
And even their case against Kardashian (who initially agreed to pay a fine) got thrown out of court !
Wow im sure American crypto investors feel so protected by these guys.
Regulatory capture is big here.

Anyone with any modicum of sense would steer clear of NFTs like their life depended on it.When Gary Vee and his harem of retarded youtube cultists openly talk on podcasts of using NFTs to con their moronic followers into the crypto equivalent of a pump n' dump where they make all the money and leave their fans with worthless garbage. Best to avoid. Only reason it isn't illegal is that it isn't yet regulated.

January 6: judge hints Trump wanted supporters to ‘do more’ than protest
Opinion comes in ruling barring man charged with role in Capitol attack from arguing former president authorized his actions
Thu 29 Dec 2022 15.19 GMT
Donald Trump may have been telling his supporters he wanted them “to do something more” than simply protest against his defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race when he told a mob of them to “fight like hell” on the day of the Capitol attack, according to findings from a federal judge on Wednesday.
The opinion from Judge John Bates came in the form of a ruling barring one man charged with having a hand in staging the Capitol assault on January 6 2021 – Alexander Sheppard – from arguing that Trump, as president at the time, had authorized his actions.

Bates’s judgment recounted how Trump’s speech near the White House on the day that Congress certified his loss to Biden urged his supporters to march to the Capitol without saying that it was illegal to enter the area where lawmakers would be voting.
“These words only encourage those at the rally to march to the Capitol … and do not address legality at all,” wrote Bates, who was appointed to Washington DC’s federal courthouse bench by former president George W Bush. “But, although his express words only mention walking down … to the Capitol, one might conclude that the context implies that he was urging protesters to do something more – perhaps to enter the Capitol building and stop the certification.”
Bates made it a point to note that his reasoning was not out of line with the final report recently issued by a congressional committee investigating the Capitol attack, which has been linked to nine deaths, including suicides of law enforcement officers who defended the building that day.
That committee’s report found Trump acted “corruptly” on the day of the attack because he knew it was illegal to stop the certification of Biden’s victory over him, and the panel issued a non-binding recommendation for federal prosecutors to file criminal charges against the former president.
Bates added that he believed Trump’s use of the phrase “fight like hell” in his speech on 6 January – two weeks before Biden assumed control of the Oval Office – potentially served as “a signal to protesters that entering the Capitol and stopping the certification would be unlawful”.
Leading MAGATards Turn on Sean Hannity

Trump supporters identify with Trump, and believe they have a parasocial relationship with him. They will perceive people turning on Trump as turning on them, so they may not be swayed by the "Soros-controlled liberal media" and the "disloyal turncoat RINOs."
In a just-released deposition surrounding Dominion's defamation lawsuit, the Fox News star said he had never believed—"not for one second"—the baseless election fraud claims stemming from the 2020 election.
That stance, directly at odds with many of his primetime segments and the beliefs of many of his closest allies, has put Hannity in an awkward position.
Among the MAGA all-stars currently upset with Hannity are MyPillow maven Mike Lindell, former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, far-right radio host Stew Peters, and even reportedly Trump himself.
More juicy infighting HERE.

TBF, Republicans would likely lose in 2024 even without Trump running 3rd party, as they're not going to learn from their midterms disaster. But Trump going with his own "MAGA Patriots Party" would ensure defeat.
Trump posted an editorial to Truth Social from American Greatness comparing him to Teddy Roosevelt, whose unsuccessful third-party bid in 1912 handed the White House to Democrat Woodrow Wilson.
Author Dan Gelernter concedes that Trump running as a third-party candidate in 2024 would likely also hand Democrats the White House, but suggests it would be worth it to teach the Republican Party a lesson about defying its base.

Really just shows you how stupid Sean Hannity's veiwing base is, because he'll go back to saying "the election was stolen!" and they'll go on right along.

The Trump loving, woman hating, climate change denying, creationist deplorable D. Gelernter stole another of my talking points. What a bastard.
