I still have no idea what NFTs are, I should maybe look it up at some point.

Basically, you pay large sums of crypto for proof that you "own" something stupid, like some pixel art of a monkey smoking a joint.

We got the stupid content part covered, now we just need to figure out how to monetize it!

ahh history

copy+paste
Afterward Osyris travelled into many other countries, always learning them (then living by acorns, nuts, and water) in the knowledge of such his new inventions; and by these gentle and mild courses he gained the love of all people, and by that means almost possessed himself of all the world, with the regalities and principalities thereof (the Empire of Babylon only excepted) whose conquests, victories, prevailements, and powers, we will something more apply hereafter remember, following as well our own author Berosus, as also Diodorus Siculus, the learned Catasthenes, and many other authentic authors herein in their books and writings of matters of elder times, and subjects of antiquity. Osyris therefore (surnamed Iupiter Iustus) having by his wife and sister Isis (otherwise called Iuno) and also of many other ladies, which here shall be needless to recite) many children, as Hercules the great, Anubis, Macedon, Lidus, Meon, Neptune, Oros, and also many others, he assembleth a mighty army of all sorts of people, both puissant and subtle, and leaving the government of the kingdom of Egypt to the queen Isis, carrying along with him some of his aforesaid children, he taketh a long and wearisome journey. The chief place of command in all his army, he appointed unto his eldest son Hercules of Lybia, who upon his escutcheon and arms, bare depainted the shape of a crowned Lion rampant, holding in his forefeet a mighty hatchet. His two other brothers, Anubis and Macedon, carried defigured on their shields, the one a Dog, the other a Wolf; according to the signification of their names. The arms of the Emperor Osyris was a royal sceptre, and under that, the form of an eye: as who searcheth the monuments of [26]antiquity, may there find it out: by which is perceived how ancient an usage the giving of arms is, and how to be respected. And in those times all good and just princes were called gods, as Pan,Apollo, Iupiter, and infinite others, with their goddesses, muses, and nymphs.
This mighty, powerful, and gallant army thus gathered together, the Emperor Osyris proceedeth in his intended voyage, and therein compasseth round the whole universal earth: his first resistance was upon his entering Africa, where was opposed against him the Giant Antheus, but him he presently overthrew. After that, he quietly passed into India and Ethiopia, where he did great good in instructing the poor ignorant people in the true knowledge of necessary nutriment and victuals, telling them the manner how to govern and command with policy, justice and equity. Here also he subdued many most ugly and fierce Giants, full of cruelty and blood, who generally with their greatness had tyrannised over all those countries of Asia. He slew the tyrant Busiris of Phoenicia, which used to sacrifice men and women unto the gods. After this, he arrived in Phrygia, and there also subjugated the Giant Typhon, in whose command and place he established one of his own sons, ruling there, being the place where Troy afterward was erected. From thence he came by long passages, into this part of the world, being Europe, through the straights of the sea called Hellespont, since called the arm of S. George dividing Grecia from Turkie.

Yeah that's basically the jist I get from it. I don't get why people are paying these crazy sums. It's not like you're even buying the copyright to the image.

In these tough economic times, I think that Dogecoin needs to make a comeback. Much coin, very wow!

Mark my words, Dogecoin will be the new Jesuscoin someday!

I bought my daughter this remote control car on Newegg:


It's pretty cool. Turns on a dime, and has a built-in smoke machine!

Newegg accepts Bitpay, so you can even buy one with Dogecoin! :)
