        long time ago, i was sufficiently bored and unoccupied to “mint” a photograph as an nft;
        fast-forward to this day, i received this message 8-O, fortunately the phishy smell was notorious from the distance, but just in case i checked my OpenSea account (took me a while to login since i uploaded just one photo in jan/2022 and as you can imagine i had no notifications nor offers as well, be aware folks!

                        Haha , I stole it from IG beth , i seen it on someone’s page and thought yeah i like that 🙂

                        My only gripe with them is from an environmental point of view , i would never just pick on ART or photos stuff but anything that is being powered by Large data centers like bitcoin , all for profit regardless how the planet suffers in the process , It always boils down to profit and how much can they squeeze out of it.

                        I do admit though that i have never been or ever will be a person concerned about how big my bank balance is or isn’t , money never interested me , i am happy with the bare essentials in life so it is not as hard for me to cope.
