Of these 2.3 thousand replies it would be generous to say that even ten are actual humans. The rest are bots.
I haven't felt the need to reply to much of anything because the crypto ecosystem's reality speaks for itself.
I have found it fascinating watching a substantial number of web3/crypto pushers come to the dawning realization that they're not misunderstood, they're loathed. Realize that they had no idea the degree of ad spam, bots, and over-hyped shilling that everyone else is dealing with.
There's also been the frankly embarrassing "I deserve to talk to Dan Olson directly! RT/like if you agree!" responses, and the only slightly less embarrassing "I'm going to pretend that this ad pitch for my product is actually a substantive reply to Dan's criticisms."
If "over one trillion dollars of value" disappears from your ecosystem over a weekend and Monday's news isn't a bloodbath of businesses going under then you're not a real economy.
The number of large brain big boys smugly replying with “now do the stock market” is pretty revealing ‘cus, like, mate: that’s the first panel
I find it very funny that such a high % of NFTs are just appeals to the navel gazing myth of NFTs.
Because, surprising no one familiar with how online works, it's a marketplace, and a particularly insular one, so to be competitive you need to appeal to the interests and sensibilities of the patron class

Imagine being so butthurt that people don't care about your collection of CryptoPunks, and mock you by making your CryptoPunks into their PFP, that you convince Twitter to add a verification badge saying all your CryptoPunks are authentic.
"If you see anyone else with my CryptoPunk as their PFP they're an imposter, they do not own the authenticated, verified version of my CryptoPunk. Unless they minted and verified their own bootleg I guess. But the most important thing: I am not the loser here, they are."
Up next: verification badges for completed Innistrad card lists, Homies series 3, and authentic Wuzzles.
I was looking this up because I was looking up Ethereum benchmarks and got a banner ad for a cryptocasino, which I decided to poke around, and found their live Megaball game, where the biggest payout was 702.35 mETH, which from what I can work out is about 3¢?
I'm not confident in that because it's either a fractional value of Ethereum, or it's a completely separate crypto "backed by interest-generating real-world assets which initially include car equity loans." (kill me)
