      So they're outsourcing their NFTs? That's embarassing enough, but I'm sure people are onboard after FTX exposed the entire industry :laugh:

        M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

          Referring to the reveal that they were insolvent and many other exchanges likely are as well. It may not literally be a ponzi scheme but it's uncomfortably close. EDIT: And the assumption I'm making is that if interest in crypto wanes due to all the rug-pulls and now FTX going under, minting costs are going to go way up, so interest in NFTs will probably go down too. Not a guaranteed outcome but it's interesting watching companies jump on the train as it looks to be derailing.

            How did I do?

            If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

              Thanks for clarification. English question: Why "jumping on the train"? If it is derailing, I would have said "jumping off the train"

              M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                Because they're getting into a market that seems to be derailing, hence jumping on the derailing train.

                  ok...I thought it was meant the opposite way.
