      My uncle used to go to timeshare sales pitches 2-3 times a week. Never bought a timeshare, just went for the free dinners. He was so bored with life that he didn’t even mind sitting there listening to them babble. The only other thing he had to do was to call up my dad and discuss how gas prices were slightly different at different filling stations.

      At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don’t even deliver on their sole mission statement

          To own a digital asset that only had one original. Something that could have an identifiable, singular owner despite being a digital asset. Problem is no one gives a shit if you’re the original, provable “owner” of a jpg someone else made. Which makes these worthless to all but idiots who fell for it.

      I love people who have time shares, because I have a thing that let’s me pay $300 for a week at the resorts when the owners don’t utilize their time slot.
