A user named SHL0MS caused a global panic by falsely claiming Gmail would shut down on 2/22/2024, later turning the hoax into a unique digital artwork (NFT) available for sale for several Ethereum, alongside a free mint of a tweet by the official Gmail account. This incident has sparked discussions in the cryptocurrency and digital art communities about the ethics of using misinformation as a form of performance art and its impact on the perception of crypto. Critics argue this event exemplifies the negative aspects of the crypto world, including the potential for spreading misinformation. Supporters, however, see it as an innovative use of digital platforms and a commentary on the attention economy, where even negative attention can drive interest and value in the crypto space.
Crypto is winning despite all of these trying to kill it: - mainstream media - corrupt politicians - incumbent banks We are on the right side of history. Theyโre not.
The best part about crypto pumping isnโt even making money. Itโs watching mainstream journalists squirm and cope as they are forced to report on it lol
What the crypto haters don't understand is that their hate is rocket fuel for crypto By hating on crypto, they drive more attention & interest to it, which in turn drives prices up higher, which then drives more attention to crypto... Crypto is the god of the attention economy
