This is a normal post worth "over $13 million", eh?
Well, they were in the heady days of 13:17 today. I wonder what they're worth now.

This is a normal post What's the point of having blockchain if you can have stuff stolen without a trace?
And wouldn't an nft with an untraceable origin be... ..Worthless? Like, even more worthless than a normal nft..?

nfts themselves are never lost.
what is lost (or misappropriated by a hacker) is the private cryptographic key needed to authorise a transaction, such as the transfer of ownership to someone else.
every transaction in a blockchain is inviolable and can be traced. this is especially true with nfts because of their uniqueness.
so the keys for affected nfts are likely just to be sat on until some way of reselling the nft without giving the perps away can be found. maybe there already is a way. i don't much care. it's the business of criminals.
the worth of the nft itself is irrelevant here. that's just subject to a market just like any other rare or collectible thing.
when they say $13M, they're referring to the floor price of the artworks on opensea or wherever they're sold. i think those prices are nuts, but i think the same of a lot of art. what do i know?

This is a normal post Very much of its time.
His radio shows are often repeated on 4Extra, and they are cringeworthy IMO. His more whimsical and surrealist standup material is good, but there's precious little of that. It's mostly his unflattering characterisations of people we'd describe nowadays as neuro-diverse. Most of his sketches simply end with the oh so zany character ranting nonsense to a crescendo and lack any greater point or purpose.

The decency bar was *a lot lower* in the 80s. People were a lot crueller because they didn't know any better.

@TBL Political correctness doesn't have agency. The 'nanny state' has been mostly Conservative for the last century, so it is odd that they should have pushed so hard for the things they actively campaign against...
