SimpleX goes NFT / Shitcoin (mementomori.social)

It's really sad to see SimpleX goes the shitcoin route to try and fund their project, Ethereum is not ethical as I briefly explained in this post

Now is a perfect opportunity to fork the project with I2P and add Monero as the payment option both for people to transact and fund the developers and I2P operators

The problem is that they're basing their new infrastructure on a token that they control, that is also based on a blockchain that isn't neutral as they claim (Ethereum was 70% pre-mined by it's developers, how is that neutral!)

also NFTs aren't even Crypto in my view, they never took off, they never gained momentum, no one looked at them.. well.. some NPCs did.. whenever someone mentions NFT just know they're trying to sell you something that they can make out of thin air, that's not how value works..
