"""
I agree with Peter.
I think he is well-meaning. Given the difficulties with publishing his book I can see why NFTs make sense. As an author, I can deeply emphasize with the challenges in publishing a book.
Sure – it could have been better.
Honestly I am just honored that somebody thinks my stupid open source work is valuable enough to put my face on an NFT.
- Do I wish he would take another photograph of me? Yes. I hate that face!
- Do I wish he would have reached out first? Yes. But honestly I probably would have missed the email.
- Do I think Crypto is here to stay? Absolutely. There are too many hurt, and traumatized young people in the world without a viable career path otherwise. Crypto isn’t going anywhere.
- Do I think Crypto is bad for the environment? Yes.

- iskander 5y agoThat's a common view on Crypto Twitter, lots of celebration of essentially socially stunted behavior by people with limited avenues for progression in the non-crypto world. Some of them end up building very valuable (at least momentarily) crypto assets and making orders of magnitude more money than they could have otherwise.
