Immer wieder sehe ich Journalisty und Medien, die versuchen "neutral" über Blockchain oder NFts zu berichten. Im besten Falle geschieht dies, da man diese ja nicht einfach direkt kritisieren könne, ohne dem Publikum das ganze vorher einmal zu erklären. Ich (und sehr viele andere) sehen NFT und Blockchain

Vor 10 Jahren meinte die damalige Freundin, dass Split-Screen Spiele auf einem 23" Bildschirm doch irgendwie meh seien. Ich kratzte ein wenig Geld zusammen, ging zum örtlichen Tech-Discounter und kaufte einen knapp doppelt so großen Fernseher. Bewusst das Auslaufmodell, das kostete nochmal weniger. Jetzt in der neuen

Oder auch: Spaß als Blockwart. In Berlin ist auf allen Bahnhöfen der BVG das Rauchen verboten. Mangels Personal wird das aber nur halbherzig bis gar nicht durchgesetzt.
