I don't know about you but I would much rather spend a couple dollars on a ballon on "free balloon day" (if that's even a thing) than thousands or in some instances millions of dollars on an otherwise free image/video.
I'm also named Charlie and hearing Charlie talk about his experience with the 'charlie bit my finger' and the endless jokes about makes me feel less alone. Thank you, Charlie.
The enviroment thing isnt even true. Laptops running normally make more co2 then what it takes to make an NFT. That said its still the worse thing people came up with and a litteral fire pit for money and crypto
@@sentriesband It isn't though. Maybe proof-of-work coins, but proof-of-stake coins require no mining. Completely environmentally friendly. The "it's bad for the environment" thing is easily debunked.
Imagine having millions of dollars, enough money to change anyone's life dramatically several times over, and using it to buy a certificate that says"you got scammed into thinking you own a RU-vid video that doesn't exist anymore".
I don’t understand shit about this subject, but I think it might be good for speculation, like any other form of art. I. e. Imagine if someone got an archive of Yahoo Answers and sold it like 50 years in the future. It would be gold for historians. Nowadays the History of the Internet is the history of the globalized culture
I watched the 10 year anniversary video of charlie bit my finger and the dad acted like the Charlie Bit My Finger video was the cure for cancer and changed people's lives.
Someone best summarized NFTs as: "Imagine if you went up to the Mona Lisa and you were like, 'I'd like to own this,' and someone nearby went, 'Give me 65 million dollars and I'll burn down an unspecified amount of the Amazon Rainforest in order to give you the receipt of purchase.' So you paid them and then they went, 'Here's your receipt. Thank you for your purchase,' and went into an unmarked supply closet in the back of the museum and posted a handmade label inside it behind the brooms that said: 'Mona Lisa, owned by Jacobgalapagos.' So if anyone wants to know who owns it they'd have to find this specific closet in this specific hallway and look behind the correct brooms. And you went, 'Can I take the Mona Lisa home now?', and they went, 'Oh God no, are you stupid? You only bought the receipt that says you own it. You didn't actually buy the Mona Lisa itself. You can't take the real Mona Lisa you idiot. You CAN take this though,' and gave you a replica print in a cardboard tube that's sold in the gift shop. Also the person selling you the receipt of purchase has at no point in time ever owned the Mona Lisa."
And the family is being kinda slimy about this, they are saying they are making it an nft to “engage with the audience” since youtube made it RU-vid kids
Actually, my method to get around this is to upload another different video, or community tab. Another chance to have comment anywhere extension which is RN not working.
On the bright side, the video that gave Charlie childhood trauma is finally gone, but the downside is that one of the videos that laid the foundations for RU-vid is now also gone.
*people unable to pay rent* Rich people: ah yes let me pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to say I own something that is available to anyone else for free.
Do rich people buying nfts not help poorer people? They are giving their money away. Plus, if nfts are useless, what about auctions for stuff like a painting? Anyone can take picture of that painting with their phone and share it to millions of people. Anyone good enough can remake that painting in their own home.
@@user-tw1pm6nr5e You obviously have zero knowledge what layers of complexity a real painting contains. I would first educate myself before speaking about a subject I don't know of.
@@user-tw1pm6nr5e just because you cant "use" a painting doesnt make it acsessible to everyone. İf i want to see mona lise i need to either look at a photo of it or go to a fucking museum. If a guy buys it he controls it. Theese idiots control jack shit.
Had a friend named Charlie when I was like 10, used to joke about Charlie the Unicorn and Charlie biting my finger just like Cr1TiKaL's childhood trauma.
I don't know if it's irony or not, cuz, ever since people found out what irony actually means, they are using everywhere... In situations that fits no irony. But, yea, Crit1k4l says "that's it, see ya" 90% of his non-twitch or guests videos.
Plot Twist: Charlie was bullied so badly and hated this so much, that he came up with a crazy elaborate story to explain why the _Charlie Bit My Finger_ video is being removed, when in reality he's paying the owner of the video to take it down so he can be at peace.
The worst part is not that everybody made the same "Don't bite my finger" joke to Charlie, that finished in second place. The worst part is that everybody thought that they were being original when they made the same exact joke.
I think it's not even tragic, worst or even bad. The OGs could do this, and that was the first magical impact of the internet on youngsters. Nowadays it's cringe, and, still happens.
My name is Jake. I wanna burn every state farm to the ground. Everybody who says it to me thinks they were the first. I thought Jake the Snake was bad when i was a kid and now I wish thats all I was ever called
I gotta hand it to the inventor of nfts. They found a way to get people to pay millions of $ for things they already had, and then convinced them that it was somehow worth something
Every man named Charlie in his 20s can relate to the widespread bad Charlie bit my finger and Charlie the unicorn joke dilemma Hearing your name in that tone as soon as you get on the bus or walk into a classroom every day was maddening
I had this spaceship game trying to sponsor me to promote them, i asked to see gameplay and it was actually just NFT's aimed at gamer's. The crazy thing was that the PR team thought this was an actual video game with a release date, you could even pre order it. It took me several emails to figure out what the game was about; flogging NFT's.
it's so sad that the first viral video is gonna get deleted off of RU-vid like it is really sad because people who seen the first viral video in their childhoods are going to found out that it is gonna be deleted.
My name is Charlie, and I couldn’t count how many times I was told “Charlie bit my finger and it really hurts,” even in highschool. This will never escape me lmao
@@TheKing-kd9li there is a very large group of bots promoting one music video. If the creator of the song seems linked to these bots, I say abuse the report system and punish the bot maker.
I create NFTs & art in general related to the history of cryptography and cryptocurrencies as a whole. For example, my last piece was a voxelated rendering of a rare ASIC USB bitcoin miner from 2013. Though it’s annoying & troublesome to see the amount of obviously useless meme NFTs scattered amongst the marketplace.
I just realised how many “Charlie” jokes can be made to someone with the name. “Charlie bit me”, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Charlie Chaplin, Charlie the Unicorn and “Charlie, Charlie, are you there?”
@@neraxoh honestly who tf cares, I refer to him as Charlie but whatever NO ONE CARES, unless someone does care and uhh u want a cookie? The irony of making this comment is literally me caring enough to tell you that no one cares ab u caring of what someone calls critikal or Charlie or “moist man” or penguin WHATEVBEJRNRJRJWHDG
When you buy an NFT, you’re not buying anything other than the rights- It’s the same thing with how music used to be sold. You aren’t “buying” the sound, you’re just buying the rights to listen to it
Nah he’s not, the guy who’s finger Charlie bit is my friend he goes to my sch. And I’ve seen Charlie too when I’ve been round to his house and he’s fine lol
Can we just appreciate for a moment how awesome a storyteller Charlie is? We started out with a pocket trumpet and ended with the journey, the life and death of youtube's first viral video.
I used to think that NFTs were little cards that had the gifs on them like holographics, but then I learned what it was and then I thought “why would you buy this?”
I just read this in the auction description..."The NFT winner will have the opportunity to create their own parody of the video featuring the original stars, Harry and Charlie. Star in it yourself, or give the honor to the biggest Charlie Bit My Finger fan you know, and recreate a hilarious modern-day rendition of the classic clip." I can't wrap my head around this...it's driving me even crazier, LOL!
@@justice4chauvin942 exactly that’s also why u can’t cure depression, anti depressants causes erectile dysfunction as a side effect which can make someone depressed
As a fellow Charlie I’m glad to hear I wasn’t the only one who had to face this kind of torment. And it wasn’t just Charlie bit my finger and Charlie the unicorn, it was also Charlie Brown, and Charlie and the Chocolate factory. It even went so far as CharCharBinks, i wish I was lying when I say that.
Charlie, I feel your pain. As a fellow Charlie, my entire 5th grade through middle school experience was just jokes about charlie bit my finger or charlie the unicorn.
