It‘s fine if other people don‘t care but I think it is totally understandable if people have a strong opinion here. sorry, but this is plain out wrong by now. He said things like „people think this is bigger than bitcoin“, „prices usually go up after the first mint“, „embrace the fomo“ etc. He is making people afraid of missing out on something. If he hypes up something and then puts a small disclaimer at the end it doesn‘t free him up of all responsibility. nahh, he's just encourage people to join the NFT world but not forcing. people keep using the same reason/excuse why NFT is ethically wrong but without proper proof. if you think it is FOMO, that's your problem. he never ask his fans to be FOMO for not participating. i think you're a little bit exaggerated. you hate NFT much until you bring the hatred to everything. how bout you go off the internet for a while and rest since the NFT thing wont stop for a long period from now on. you just have to accept it.

Cesar656 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Funny how the people pissed at Mike are the ones that already didnt really like him at first. I dont care about NFT's, if he is happy and that means releasing new art and music, then even better. The life of a VIP is not really gonna affect my mood honestly, people should grow up a bit lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes about 30 seconds of going through his tweet replies to find LONGTIME members of the community who are vocally against this. Mike's always been my favorite member of the band, and I've stopped listening to all Linkin Park-adjacent projects for the first time in over 20 years solely because him turning into an NFT grifter has left such a bad taste in my mouth.

FaiNt Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Mike has always been heavily invested into tech and pushing the envelope in that field. It’s part of the reason why he and the band has been so successful. NFT are w/e to me. I see people even in real estate talking about using nft for deeds/ownership/land/etc. it’s about the $$$ at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one besides crypto enthusiasts see it as a viable solution for ownership proof for example since you need to have a central authority that honors that ownership anyway. Decentralization makes no sense here (like it is with pretty much everything crypto claims to solve). I also hate where the discussion is going here. If you dislike something Mike is doing you are suddenly a hater? I was always more interested in what Mike did, went to every possible FM/MS show, watched every single stream for more than one year, etc and now suddenly I am a hater because I have a critical view of what he does? People get on twitter levels of „I have to protect my favorite artist, no matter what“ on here and it‘s embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s because people are emotionally driven - it’s an easy response to something critical.I really dislike this nft driven mike the more I read about this whole saga. It all feels so corporate slim ball like. The music just seems an afterthought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did not realize he said any of those things. Have only seen him say to not get into it if you don't know what you're doing or don't know about NFTs.

eyesburning Posted Wednesday at 01:30 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:30 PM This video explains quite well how nonsensical the idea of NFTs are, especially in the context of video games: Watch the first 6 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
