This is the Nigerian prince and the Indian tech support guy collaboration.
makes sense why their movies are insane now
A lady calls me, but she won't tell me her name; she says "are ya home? are ya alright?" and all that kind o' stuff, and I don't know who she is or what she's callin' me for!"
You do look like both
"Once you've gone so low as to sell jpegs for thousands of dollars... You can't go any lower than that."
-A great Man
Wow excellent analogy
The fact that he said Pre-Streamer Zack would totally be in on this shit is way more of an indicator of how much of a scam this stuff is than anything else lol
You sometimes need a criminal to catch criminals. Just like you sometimes need someone who is open about having been a scammer to tell you when something is a scam. Sadly we have enough people in the world who thorougly believe in the lie that "you too can one day become a multimillionaire" and go to huge extends to defend their Stockholm Syndrome because that would actually mean accepting the fact that people who become ultra wealthy were either born into money or were at the right spot at the right time (i.e. Luck). People so believe in the creation myth of "you too can one day..." that they just sign over money out of FOMO to MLM fiends who cash out. They tell themselves they are smart even though they have no fucking idea how any of this works (as shown through NFT bro's not understanding how ownership works) out of sheer arrogance and stupidity. Imagine having enough cash lying around to invest thousands (or millions) in crypto but not having the braincells to understand you're literally getting fucked over because they prey on your insecurity.
Atleast we can confirm that the Dunning-Kruger effect is real.
@Rose Anne Boushard spending money on a legitimate product = / investing into a scam. Nothing is similar in them except they involve money
Pre-streamer Zack would be in on it so he could rob all the cryptobros in the middle of the night, knowing the private island police won't show up for another 18 hours while their Bitcoin payment confirms
@@ngwoo 0
@Rose Anne Boushard that is fair, half baked expansions could be seen as as a scam
Additional note: "Crypto Island" is a completely separate crypto island project from "Cryptoland" which is being discussed in this video. Yes, there are more than one of these somehow.
The moment I read this, a little Darth Vader in my head screamed "NOOOOOOOOO!"
“That island scam was our last hope…”
*”No. **_There is another.”_*
Crypto archipelago
You're gonna love my new tech start-up Appel
It's not even a virgin island too. People already found the island on google maps and you can see people are already living there lol.
There's also the fact that they don't own the island, they put a request but it never went anywhere.
The best part though? like 90% of their 'staff' don't even work for them.
Yeah and as I’ve heard, Fiji has some rather strict laws on stuff like gambling.
It's not a virgin island, it's a skanky island.
It has been a few years since the last one, but as beautiful as the islands are the other thing it's well known for is military coups.
Hopefully it has settled down down but every house door and window was barred up. If you went to the convenience store you don't go all the way in, you are caged at the entrance, and you have to ask for the goods you want.
It's ok it be like new new America. Columbus finds a land but ppl already live there lol
Common sense is not a gift, it is a punishment. Because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it 🤦♂
It's called Common Sense because we wish it to be common.
Hahahahaha.
Common sense = *COME ON* ( !! ) - *SENSE* ( IT )
LoL
Oof.
Yepp. I have often said that a part of me wishes I could be hit by a bus and forget everything I know. Maybe pick a religion to blindly follow and dedicate my life to, get a 9-5 job that dehumanizes me and smile my way through it because I don't know any better, make emotional opinions about world issues by piggybacking off other peoples ideals, get excited about the next big consumer manipulation because I don't have the intelligence to see it as manipulation. Life would probably be a lot easier.
@@anthonyfaiell3263 You described being on a cult.
I was very lucky to have MMORPGs when I was a kid. Since everything was based on a virtual avatar with dedication-based rewards, that was actually not that bad for my mental development. If it was nowadays with the social media that we have, I would have been fucked up as fuck
Concordo mano,hoje em dia é dureza kkkkkkkkkk
It used to be so simple. Get $15 a month from your mom's credit card and you can live a fun side life in our virtual world and experience a cool childhood when you're back from school.
Now, I really worry about "dem kids". My sister in law is 16 and her obsession / involvement in social media stuff like TikTok is so concerning, she's crazy sad about her own looks and she's a fuckin kid. And she doesn't pay money, so SHE is the product. These scummy companies make money at the cost of her mental health and I can't take it, can't imagine how I'll handle having my own kids in the future.
@@Metallijosh100 Well said. This is reason #47 that I'm not having kids. I'm not willing to add people to this mess.
@@Metallijosh100 I found a good solution: don’t have kids. I proud of my sister and how she is raising my niece and I’m giving her all the support I can. But for I can’t make the decision to put Someone trough this misery without having a decision of their own.
@@Metallijosh100 probably you won't have your OWN kids, they will never be yours, and it is actually fine.
For the rig thing, you can list that this is for personal use only, not commercial purposes. A lot of my fellow animators go to school and need rigs for their demo reels and practice work, so those sites are amazingly useful (I normally toss them donations, now that I can). But that is very different than if Dreamworks or Pixar were to just take the rig off the internet, spruce it up a bit, and make millions. That is grounds for lawsuit, just like this case will likely be.
Like indie games, sometimes will take things off sites like those you mentioned to get thier proof of concept off the ground, then as it progresses they slowly replace them with thier own models and rigs, ect.
but then you have some who take the models, and try to slap together a "game" for quick profit. and those are usually buggy messes and terrible. lol
I appreciate Zack spreading the word on these Crypto and NFT scams. With all of the fake news and predatory advertising, it is extremely helpful to have someone pointing out the scams and telling us the truth! I am sure many of Zack's viewers, including myself, have benefitted from Zack spreading the truth.
@@Acuas I think the biggest problem is that influencers receive no real consequences for scamming people. I wish influencers could be charged with fraud, that would make influencers think twice before trying to scam their viewers.
Yeah go Zack, but whos this kira guy? Yeah he’s not spreading it. Credit to zack go zack!
Helped keep your bank account empty. 👍
@@Aybo1000 i saw kira's video first but zack still gets credit for sharing it lol he has a bigger audience than kira which helped some people who wouldn't find out otherwise.
@@Acuas jijo
I have watched several reactions about Cryptoland and I still fell the same cringe as the first time, that's what I call an amazing work ...
Whenever something is suddenly called _"popular"_ and is advertised like hell, I feel repelled instantly actually.
That is the advantage of having always been a social oddball.
The odd thing is that I watch the Cryptoland video and I don’t feel anything except a vague sense of contempt for both the makers and anyone who falls for the scam.
sometimes works of art perfectly mark an era in its totality
@@mikoto7693 same but there's nothing vague about it
Cryptoland and Crypto Island are 2 completely different things
I love when Asmon covers Kira's stuff. Kira deserves so many more subscribers than he has. Good work on his part.
Kira struggles to work out a scam compared to a real project sometimes however...
@@spirit1836 Star Citizen hodl to the moon bro? Lololol lmao
@@spirit1836 to the moooooooooooon
Idiot
@@spirit1836 I can see how you might think that, but it is very important when viewing Kira's videos in particular to determine if he is raising concerns about a project or calling it an outright scam, those are two very different things which for us as potential consumers of said projects/products are good to know either way.
Also, its important for people unfamiliar with Kira's channel to know that he doesn't wholly cover scams. He talks games, kick starter indie projects, mmorpg's, and yes raises concerns and expresses what I believe are valid criticisms with the absolute worst offenders definitely deserving the label of "Scam" in some cases.
So how are they gonna have their service industry people accommodated? The folks at 7-11, the trash collectors, the waiting staff at the restaurant, the people who restock the supermarket shelves?
Is there any awareness that those folks are absolutely necessary?
Crypto needs a superhero, like Captain Pumpndump
Maybe when its over Captain Hindsight will tell us what everyone did wrong and how people should have done it
"Mental maturity should be more than enough."
Holy fuck, this place is run by horrible people.
The lack of breasts on any of the girls in this thing is showing who this is for.
Mental maturity is only fully reached by around age 25, but I'm sure this is not what these people mean...
Can not wait to see his reaction to the acquisition!
bobby needs his 15th yacht, give the man a break
@@lootmaster1337 He won't last 6 months.
Zack, just cus I released something for free fair use doesn't mean disneys necrotic rat mascot can then go and sell it.
That's what that means. You can use it for free endeavors, you cannot use it to make money.
While Asmon was talking about oh you got a degree in Theoretical Physics and now you have a theoretical job, working at Starbucks and living at your mom's place and you are now a loser...someone said BLADESTORM'D I died LMAOOO
@@babelfishdude Not to shit on NASA and personally i don't know shit about this stuff, but lately it seems like Chinese don't need NASA anyway. They are doing their thing better on their own.
@@babelfishdude who’s fault is it that the Chinese have so many spies ?
@@babelfishdude thats simply not true. one google search will teach you this.🤣🤣🤣
@@Anciet789 I know this is a 2 year old comment, but... Chinas space rocket tech is literally just copied from NASAs designs and technology. As is basically everything with Chinas technology. It's important that people realise this.
100 million dollars won't even cover half the cost of getting running water to that whole island.
But the island is surrounded by water dummy!!
"You got a degree in Theoretical Physics, now you have a theoretical job." This line made me laugh so hard
NFTs is like paying for parking at the mall. You never own that parking space, but people can see your car and license plate and recognize that you’re occupying it for the moment. Except it is online, and pointless. 🤣
These are the EXACT comments I look for to know that the majority of people don't understand what an NFT is but act like they do. You are foundationally incorrect, an NFT compared to a parking space is not "you never own that space" you DO own that space, but the amount of parking spaces that can be made are infinite. That doesn't mean that it's pointless or worthless. What you don't understand is that certain parking spaces WILL CONTINUE to go for high dollar value, because they were the first, or the demand for that space gives it value. That is all value is. There are SO MANY PEOPLE who are clueless about this stuff.
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 Do enlighten us then ol’ wise one. 🧙♂️ 😏 Let’s hear your understanding of it.
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 bruh you dont own an nft, literally what you are owning is *the link* to the nft, not the nft itself, if the real owner wants to scam people he could easily delete the nft from those links and the buyers will be left with nothing but a really expensive link
@@BigHotSauceBoss69 these NFTs... They don't have any real value, though deranged speculators fantasize about otherwise.
@@BigHotSauceBoss69hahaha this aged well.
Not gonna lie, Asmongold matured quite nicely. From a toxic boy playing wow and banning his haters, to an outspoken thinking man, not afraid of criticism.
He always kinda been like this tho, 10 min after the video he was flaming someone on ffxiv. Its yin yang
He's always been like this, problem is he had to tone down his streamer persona because his own audience was giving him a bad name, trying to replicate his persona's toxicity outside of his bubble.
what you mean he still banning everyone that disagrees with him
Yes, he still either fails to see or chooses not see the whole picture.
Pedophiles are absolutely fucking everywhere. Constantly coming up with new ways to traffick rape and torture children.
Its far far FAR worse than most imagine.
@@Nifyrlaswell not exactly. I have seen alot of the idiot chatters that "disagree" with him and they are just absolutely retarded and instead of being civil and try to properly explain their "why" they just resort to acting like braindead moronic idiot.
He has every rifht to ban anyone he wants for any reason regardleas.
Get your head out of your ass
I was watching some of this stream yesterday, and it is unreal what people will do to push this...watch Josh Strife Hayes "What the hell is a NFT?!" ... a simplified explanation.
I was even more dumbfounded when i found out people dont even own the art they buy!
In one of his previous videos I've seen he had a tab with that video open in his browser. I assume he has already watched it.
Great video by Josh btw.
Honestly until JoshStrifeHayes’ video I’d read a couple explanations of NFTs but I kinda assumed that I was missing out on or not understanding some core fundamental concept of NFTs because what I heard seemed absolutely insane.
@@mikoto7693 Then you find out that it seems insane because it actually is insane
@@Brigtzen you’ll be even more surprised to find out they don’t even own the art they are selling too.
The prefrontal cortex don't fully develop until you are 25, so you could make an argument for people not reaching mental maturity until they are 25
Seagull Rig being "Free" is different from it being "Free Use". I cannot just go around selling a free program that's available for everyone to use, and just re-hashing it as my own program under a different name. Key word being "selling" here. Game ROM hacks are totally legal because it's fair use, assets are being used to create something new and are not being profited from. This is not the case here.
So many things about the scheme that would make most (rational) people see it as a scam or pipe-dream immediately. An island they don't own, with no infrastructure in place (besides what was set up for the one house that's there). It has a dirt road and a boat dock. The cost of developing it (everything would have to be brought by boat) would be astronomical, and each landowner would have to pay their share of the cost to make the island livable. That's besides paying to build a house on an island, and having to buy a boat. Basic things like 'where are you going to get water', and 'where are you going to get food' are glossed over.
But even beyond all that, the Cryptoland people are selling the idea that they get to decide the law on their island. 'The age of consent is mental maturity'...no the age of consent is 16, because it's in Fiji, and the laws on Cryptoisland would be the laws of Fiji. And that includes NO gambling -- despite their plans for a casino. They aren't making a new country.
The whole thing is fairy dust and fantasy. That's what they're selling to a bunch of thoughtless entitled men. Speaking of which, good luck finding women on an island of bros. Add 'paying for sex' to the cost of living there...
"Mental maturity should be more than enough"
So nobody who buys into this, then?
Heaing that old sharlayan night music during his talk on self value and expectations hits different.
Lmao. "A degree in theoretical physics that got you a theoretical job." This is hilarious
I get your point about the seagull nft and yes if you release it for free people can use it, but that doesn't mean you can take it and put a price on without the creator's permission. There are a lot of free games on the market, but if I try to sell them I'll get in trouble.
On that last topic of kids being on social media, today's Internet culture is wildly different from ten to fifteen years ago. I'm that weird middle stage of 90s/00s baby and growing up the Internet from the mid-00s to about 2012 was really chill. Then the iPhone came out. Then social media _really_ kicked off. Then depression rates shot upwards.
There's an article on Odyssey called "Why Tumblr is Ruining A Generation" and it's basically described how social media in general has warped the minds of teenagers who aren't done with their growing pains. (The author stresses this could've happened on ANY platform but it was mainly Tumblr.) The kids are depressed, their 20-something peers online take it and spew it back because those young adults are still just as juvenile, and the teens are validated that someone "older and wiser" has just confirmed their pain. It's an Ouroboros of self-loathing and misunderstanding.
I am waiting for Asmon to react to Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard :)
this is the dragon isles xpac that blizzard is planning for.
you mean Microsoft
From viewing the NFT subreddit I'm convinced crypto bros just don't use their eyes. It's like they never watched a movie and never played a video game in their lives. They look at that video and think "Pixar"
Anyone else imagining Will Ferrell just shouting "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!" when they see this sh**?
This reminds me of people buying and selling property and making a mint in second life back when second life was supposed to be the next big thing.
Asmongold's opinion on copyright is pretty stupid though. You totally should be able to show off something of your own for free without automatically giving up ownership to said work.
Artists having online portfolios is a great example of this.
John Connor : "We're not gonna make it, are we?... People, I mean."
T-800 : "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves."
Fascinated to hear Asmon's opinions on the Activision/Microsoft news, crazy stuff.
Sucks they kept Bobby Kotick on. Not surprised, but it still sucks to see.
@@shadeitplease7383 He will leave soon. When they acquired Bethesda they only kept these top guys for a few months and after that they all left.
would be very interested in that too
@@shadeitplease7383 No way will Microsoft keep him, to much of a liability. He'll be out the door once it's finalized.
@@shadeitplease7383 the deal is not finalized, and usually it takes a few months to finish such a major deal. Until then bobby will stay the goblin he is, but shortly after the company is completly overtaken, they'll kick him out and replace him with someone that they have already probably well prepared for his position
Yes! I love when Kira gets this kind of exposure. I found his channel thanks to Asmon and it didn't take long for me to pledge as Kira's patreon. This dude has great content.
Been waiting a good minute for Zack to react to this absolute nightmarish masterpiece that is Cryptoland.
Sadge it’s not the reaction for Josh Strife Hayes’s video “What the hell are NFT’s?”
Microsoft has bought Activision. Here's how to fix Blizzard:
>Fire Bobby
>Fire all the shitty employees
>Fix the whole story of WoW
>Hire actual writers
>McCree goes back to being McCree
ah yes, "just fix it lol". It needs major fixing but it's not some easy thing you just do
Bobby will be at top, that seems part of the deal according to CNN
@@librask3009 Oh yes it is. Just reboot the entire game.
Just end the entire game and start a new Gamefranchise with the same artstyle and go back to MMORPG gameplay roots. But this wont end well anyways since activision has its filthy grasp on it
@@mr.cuddlesworth3144 and then that reboot carries on the same design philosophy the playerbase has come to dislike but hey "just fix it lol" you did it! WoW and Blizzard is fixed now :DD!!
I've heard it before, but hearing it again struck me - "If it's free, you are the product."
Aaaand suddenly Microsoft is buying Activision.
The last 10 minutes of the video is him just spitting straight facts as always
what if this was just the worlds biggest sting? man that would be great. they all show up for a con and chris hansen walks out on stage and just yells into the mic "THIS IS TO CATCH A PREDATOR NOW TAKE A SEAT"
my best friend told me to get out of her life because I criticized her boyfriend for quitting his job and using her money to invest them into shitcoins. I really needed to share that. its insane how triggered those people become once you question their ideas.
Even more disturbing is that crypto got its beginnings as a black market currency used to buy and sell human beings. Mention this to the cryptobros and they just flat out don't give a shit
@@kenmann4074 and Fiat got its beginnings from warlords who ran out of coin yet still wanted to fund more endless wars, as they continue to do now... at least Crypto can have real value.
P.S.: You're flat out wrong. Crypto began with Bitcoin, which was developed as an alternative form of currency from whatever the unchecked central banks happen to spew at the moment.
@@kenmann4074 It is easy to see why such independent and anonymous currency would be used for means like that... but that was never its intent, don't confuse things.
Crypto Island sounds exactly the same as Ashes of Creation/Star Citizen. Selling dreams and promising, just pay me now!.
Going to call it NFT-Mon: catch and train randomly generated monsters on a randomly generated island, fight them in an arena for real life money bets. I think would be a cool idea, if someone wants to work on one with me, let’s try it, for memes sake at minimum lol
would probably work really well
@@3xceIIent HAHAHAHAHA, give them NFT card board printed swords, only 999$ pre fight, i want to see crypto bros fight- we could get are you reality to be the commentator
Wonder how Asmon will react to Microsoft.
I cant fucking wait.
Having lived through the last two years by avoiding as many dumb people as I can, I can say I'm not surprised at how many there are out there. We're living in the zombie apocalypse already.
"Mental maturity should be more than enough" wtf....this is the same like "age is just a number and sister is just a word..." this is fked up^^
This is going to be Fyre Festival 2: Electric Boogaloo, calling it now.
14:30 Thank you for explaining this so well. Personally, I find it pathetic, even enraging at times, at how vapid and narcissistic so many people's dreams seem to be. If I had infinite money, my dream would be to fund some of the video game ideas I have, or maybe build a sculpture garden for the public, or an animal sanctuary for cool and unusual animals, something exciting and unique for people to remember me by, but the dream touted in media today seems to just be the tackiest and most soul-devoid consumerism available, all looking exactly the same with sports cars, swimming pools, brand clothes and ugly gold plating on everything. Just soulless narcissism.
Waiting to see Asmongold react to the news that Microsoft just bought ActiBlizz 60 billion

Theres literally one small scene where the animation is actually nice in this entire ad. ONE! How do you have millions in crypto and can only get ppl staring into space and janky animation and only ONE actual "good scene" with actual human movement.
Its at 36:23 for those who are curious.

"move on"
"it was YESTERDAY"
"stop living in the past"
As a video game addict who has spent thousands of hours playing games and bought a lot of in game items I can’t possibly see how spending money on land you can’t actually use is enticing at all. Lol They deserve to get scammed
At least you can use in game items on an in game character.
This is like buying a fancy looking helmet for a game that literally doesn't exist.

As someone that did have two poorly chosen degrees and excelled in high school before failing miserably in the job market, my reaction was to just get an associates degree in IT and do software work for an insurance company. I will admit to fantasizing about winning the lottery, but that does not mean I am stupid enough to buy a lottery ticket.
mircosoft bought activation blizzard lol
It´s in Fiji and they failed the acquisition of the island. there´s an article in the guardian about it.
But the project appears to have hit a bigger hurdle than bad publicity. The real estate agent selling Nananu-i-cake, Rick Kermode, of New Zealand firm Bayleys, told Guardian Australia that the contract to sell it to Cryptoland’s backers fell through this week and the island was back on the market.
Thank you for pointing out the issue with our modern society with social media. We have no true North star to look to for our core values.
We have it is called common sense. At least that is the translation for the German expression called „gesunder Menschenverstand“, which means as much as healthy human Sense/sanity. There are a lot of good values to being had by just not being a greedy selfish asshole.
I'm not big on reaction videos, but I've been binging Asmon react videos lately. He's got this genuine big smile and doesn't scream and shout.
Would it be possible that the people who started this also buy their own stuff so that it gets started and rolling?
yes sir. absolutely. its possible and i would even say its "standard procedure" at the "top". you can buy your own nft through wallets all day long. until someone sees that, thinks to themselves: "nows my chance, now or never". and they end up with a fucking jpg which they dont even own to begin with. its not regulated in any way. its wild west. and through influencers and social media its so blown up that there are lots of people who will think that...
Asmongold speech with FFXIV music in the background really hit hard for some reason.
Recently, my older sister has been "baited" by the whole trend of "life coach selling formations on how to get rich bullshit", and she recently quit her job to follow this path. I know she does that because she's kinda desperate about her life right now (even tho she has a very normal social and professional status tbf), and instead of trying to understand why she's unhappy and seeking happiness through personnal growth, she's chasing that get rich and succesful quick mindset, because we all know somehow you stop being sad when you become rich. We had a very strong argument about that yersteday and this makes me really sad for her, because it'll probably take a while before she realises how futile this is and how little it will contribute to her happiness.
I can't imagine how it is for kids nowadays growing with all this social media exposition and shitty values, fake people and whatnot. My other sister has 3 kids and it's hard for me to imagine how difficult it is for her and her husband to balance social media access for their kids. So far their kids have 0 access to social media and were very happy, but the older one (12) is starting to be affected by it, feeling a little bit out of place compared to her friends (not helped by the fact that she's very smart and mature for her age). When I see what social medias do to a grown up a woman, I don't want to see what it will do to those who will come after us, I just hope they'll get through it and take something out of it.
What do you mean 'How can so many people be so stupid?' Asmon, you've been on the internet for 23 years now, surely you've seen enough examples to confirm its true . .
look at how many people still play wow, that answers your question of how many stupid people can get together and waste money
@@ndk2k4 To be fair, WoW was once good, so nostalgia is a serious psychological factor, I wouldn't blame somebody that still plays. I feel the prime example would be social media 'fame' posts, like facebook or tiktoks . . I doubt it can get more idiotic than those 'Look, I bought £500 worth of food that I'll now toss on the ground because making a mess is funny' and the lot
@@TidusfromZanarkand It was, but I think a quote from Gene Wilder fits best. "These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."

"How can so many people be so stupid?"
For how long did people give Blizzard money? Is Star Citizen still being crowd funded?
Was that question rhetorical?
Blizzard makes good games and Star Citizen is actually real playable product (and at least some people are having fun with it). Whereas Crypto Epstein island is.. literally nothing.

I sometimes use free 3d models to monetize them. 3D printing/painting, etc. But I always go and look what license they have. Only if it says “free to use for commercial purposes” = I use them.
If the license doesn't allow it - I use this models as a reference and create my own model.

I stand by covid19 never being "over" as the survival of the Metaverse, NFTs, and blockchain in general depends on continuation of the pandemic
People were already accepting this before covid was even a thing.
I like how their promotional video has the Petro sign next to a tiny model of President Maduro (Venezuela's current president as of this comment's date), you can see it at 20:30, absolute insanity.
They're selling land on an island they don't own, so fraud?
very interesting conversation at the end, I appreciate it
Hey Asmongold, what is your opinion about Microsoft getting wow in his game pass? :D look forward to your video about it :)
Why in the hell would someone like Asmongold have ZERO crypto? Like even if it goes bad he's got enough cash he should be hedged in crypto.
I’m not surprised.
Only about 4% of the entire population owns crypto. And scams like this drives normies away from crypto.
Cause cryptobros are cringe
I haven’t laughed so hard in my whole life. This was so funny to watch.

oh catdany, you really outdid yourself with the title of this one
With all of the good points Zack made I feel that there's a little disconnect here. A lot of people are trying to "get rich quick" and are seemingly desperate because this phase of our capitalist society is failing a lot of people. When the majority of the jobs out there aren't that great or don't pay livable wages people get desperate for alternatives. A lot of millennials that are in their early 30s to 40s are now at a point where they've been in the work force for a decade plus. Working that long and not having much of anything to show for it is going to make people irritated, unsatisfied, and desperate in some cases. Social media just adds fuel to the flames with this mindset. The majority of the working class lives check to check these days. Side hustles are a norm now and they shouldn't be imo. Why should you have to work outside of your job to sustain a comfortable life? Why is it normal for a full time job to not be enough to sustain a person? There are far too many people who tried to take the "proper" path to success by putting themselves into thousands of dollars in debt for an education that didn't pay off. That was hammered into the minds of millions of children. Of course success is never guaranteed even if you try to make all of the right moves. But one thing I can guarantee however, is that they will be paying those loans off for the foreseeable future. I appreciate your opinion, but you also haven't been a part of the normal work force for a while. The landscape has definitely not changed for the better. No one is owed being rich or wealthy. But people that put in work day after day, year after year, deserve to live with some dignity. And telling people to just work harder or find another job isn't a realistic solution. Not that you said that, I just see that thrown around here and there. Anyway, sorry for the rant. Just my 2 cents.
Asmon's brain dead chat or youtube community won't understand this post. I appreciate it however and you are spot on in every single point.
Yep, there are lots of financially desperate people out there.
It so happens that Scams like this prey heavily on financially desperate people.
Crypto mining? Not the worst option for a side hustle - just treat it as high-risk/speculative investing, and be aware of risk.
NFT Scams? You're dumb if you fall for them, you're a scumbag if you perpetrate them.
@@Valvad0ss I just feel like this is a subject where sometimes people are pretty quick to judge instead of trying to empathize. I've talked to a decent number of people about the recent labor shortage that have casually chalked it up to people being lazy. It's pretty sad if I'm being honest.
@@PlanADidntWorkOut Yeah I get where you're coming from and I agree. There's definitely A LOT of people chasing fomo in recent years. And yeah, you reap what you sew when you don't even attempt to do any kind of proper research before throwing money into something. These predatory practices take advantage of the desperate, naive, and uneducated. It's a pretty gross a vicious cycle.
lol, literally the american dream simulator
its all about grinding that rep for social status
Asmon is pointing out very important and accurate social values in this video, the importance of having a "north star" and how the lack of it is detrimental to youth mental health. It is even more accurate in this Covid era where social distancing, lockdowns, school closure happen even so often and internet is in most cases the only way to connect to the world. I'm glad Asmon takes time to take about it since it is a very modern topic.
modern day JBP :D
I spent 10 years of my youth (10 to 20) alone; no friends and no partner. It was only me and my computer, yet I didn't end up like these scammers. My mom wasn't there either so it's not like she raised me right, I did it myself. I just think some people are born dumb for life and no matter how much you try to educate them they wont change because they're dumb.
11:40 entire tangent is irrelevant, because she did release autonomy. The autonomy for her work to be used by everyone to learn. Simply not the autonomy to use it commercially, as is super common in the industry.
Delightful i don't know who need to hear this but saving money won't make you a millionaire investing will, so take out some money and invest, but invest wisely.
Obviously trading in shiba inu is very volatile and risky to trade that's the reason most traders trade with a company.
I bought shiba inu when it was 7k earlier last year, and since then I have been having my Shiba inu traded in the market by a trading company and I'm really making profits.
You don't need to be surprised because l'm also trading with expert Anna
I thought people don't know her she helped me recover what I lost trying to trade by myself
Here I am thinking that this lockdown will affect my trading not knowing that people are busy investing and making huge profits
Not bothering to animate eye movements of any of their human characters should be a crime in itself.
Zack I just read Microsoft bought blizzard. Just wondering if this is real news.
Sorry missed the post below
If it wasn't a scam it wouldn't be out in public. If Mark&Stacy worked as hotel managers for 30 yrs then decided to build their own, they'd go to banks, business angels and various millionaires, they wouldn't make cringy fundraiser ads. It's simply practical - it's easier to deal with two co-owners or one bank than to manage the money of 50k ppl. In addition, scamming ppl with NFTs is less risky than to deal with millionaires and banks, who can sue you if you make a mistake or pull out at any time. Even under the best circumstances, if Rockefeller's son-in-law wants out, you can't block them on Twitter and wash off your hands.
Microsoft Bought Blizzard
Honestly after I heard of those redditors who want to buy an island this s**t doesn't surprise me
Oh no. This sounds awful
Update: yeah, it's pretty awful
Ironically Diablo 2 taught me at 10 years old about these types of scams like “crypto money doubler”
Someone told me they would give me a hack for the game but they needed my account info, and yes they stole my stuff.
