Re: NFTs

All the reporting I've seen in the US (and there has been plenty, actually) was that the gas prices in Kazakhstan went up (in a petroleum-rich country where that shouldn't happen) and people revolted over that and burned things and Russia was asked to send in troops and we shouldn't assume this will prevent Russia from invading/threatening/posturing around Ukraine. This is the first I've heard of the NFT/crypto angle. I've never gotten the impression the US news media has a pro-crypto bias (more like everyone makes fun of crypto) but I can see everyone being too distracted by anxiety over the Ukraine to care about the specifics of *why* gas prices went up in Kazakhstan.

Thank you for your point of view! Appreciate it.

I might be biased here, being much more against NFTs and the current crypto market than warranted, but I noticed a slight bias pro crypto in the USA news. Again, I'm from the EU so I'm an outsider. I just read international and thus even the main American journals.
NOT IN FANDOM, NOT IN ART CIRCLES, NOT IN REDDIT etc but on the major jornals I think there is a pro cypto bias. Sometimes they gently mock NFTs and their stupid fads, but the majority of them don't address the problem with crypto and the enviromental cost. Some of them do, but not that much.
It's actually the same case here in my country (they actually touched the crypto angle in the Kazakhstan situation tho). So I'm under no impression that this might be an USA only phenomenon.

Again, I'M BIASED AT HELL. But this is my perception.
I really appreciate your post, though. Makes me see that I could be seeing malice where there isn't.
