NYC Protestors Remind us that God Hates NFTs Too
It's NFT week in NYC which means one thing and one thing only...we have "GOD HATES NFT" protestors in NYC. And these folks may have finally broken the cycle of protestors being the bane of this City's existence (see: wreaking havoc on my UberEats order with their childish behavior).
In fact, the only bone I have to pick with these legends out here doing God's work is that I didn't get the Facebook invite to join them. Because I’ve never been more passionate about anything in my life. Granted, I've never actually been passionate about any cause, ever, but if there was one I was going to get behind, it'd be this. Because I dare you to find someone more insufferable than an NFT/crypto bro that just 10x'ed a picture of a rock.
I love everything about it. The MAKE FIAT GREAT AGAIN signs. The protestors throwing shade at Vitalik Buterin. It's all so perfectly executed.
Too perfectly executed...
Listen, I wasn't naive enough to think this was some sort of viral marketing stunt. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit disappointed that this wasn't the real deal. It cuts even deeper to know that it was a streetwear brand behind the picket (unless they just pulled an ISIS and took credit for an attack they wish they had pulled off), which means we're going to get $300 shirts with GOD HATES NFTS on them.
NFT NYC is basically Gathering of the Juggalos for people that drive Teslas and know who Beeple is. And with NFTs down worse than Joey Politics without his trainings wheels, there are going to be plenty of kids that got stuffed in lockers in high school trying to be the center of attention to promote their project. Copycats inbound.
