Perfect for the rolling-eyes-bot I'm about to release on the chain

  Eventually there'll be so many reactions, we'll have special NFTs for the millionth reaction and more! /s On a more serious note: is it just me or is this really just a new tulip wave? I get that crypto is seemingly here to stay...but NFTs? can't someone re-mint something on the blockchain and claim it is the real one? For example, if I were to re-mint Dorsey's first tweet...do people know enough to look out for scams like that? Granted, I bet Dorsey would have to endorse it to get widespread appreciation, but then again fools are fooled by fools gold.

    > do people know enough to look out for scams like that? Yes, because the only people buying them are in on the scam. No one is looking to buy Jack Dorseys 1st tweet for millions of dollars, they are looking to buy an advertisement so you too think you could become an overnight millionaire you just need to join their platform and buy in first. It’s the same thing as the Nigerian Prince that won the lottery but can’t cash it, so he will give you the winning lottery ticket if you just give him $1,000.

    I think most economists figured out that crypto will eventually crash, and the status quo will eventually turn back to normal. With that in mind, they gave up and started recommending people buy Bitcoin for their retirement while they buy back their valuable stocks in return.
