A fursona is a better investment, benefits include:

  • cute (even when you deny it)
  • everyone loves it
  • can be whatever you want, lots of choices
  • expression of your inner self
  • versatile
  • can't really be stolen
  • inner emotional support
  • increases in personal value as you grow with it
  • won't lie to you about making free capitalism coins™

A fursona is also free (technically. Getting art of them can be expensive, but there are a few various "paper doll" style tools you can use to draft out a basic concept for free), is priceless in value, and doesn't fluctuate in its value based on arbitrary economics.

I still can’t believe people who bought these truly thought they would be good investments. If you’re that stupid you deserve to lose every dollar

Con artists getting conned by better con artists. Anyone who thought this was a good investment and/or pushed it deserves every cent they lost

NFTs were always stupid. Figuring out that something is stupid 2 years later than everyone else shouldn't mean that you sue someone, it should mean that you go home, feel embarrassed, and shut up, so people forget how stupidly you behaved.

Ahhh, nothing like a bit of schadenfreude in the morning to make your day.

If you're going to invest money into something, do your research first. How anyone thought these would be a good investment is beyond me! More money than sense.

Sorrows. Sorrows. Prayers. Sorrows.

I literally cannot imagine being dumb enough to fall for NFTs, yet being smart enough to understand what an NFT is, AT THE SAME TIME
