Total "chaos" - South Park pokes fun at NFTs



 The corona crisis has prompted the makers of the hit series South Park to now also pull cryptocurrencies and especially the current hype about so-called non-fungible tokens (NFT) through the cocoa.


In the new episode called "Post COVID: The Return of COVID", which takes place after the corona crisis, i.e. in the distant future, the main protagonists discover that their former schoolmate Leopold "Butters" Stotch is his alter ego "Victor Chaos “Was locked in safekeeping after it was revealed that he actually has evil superpowers that can literally throw the world into chaos.


The ominous superpower: being able to convince hordes of investors to invest all of their savings in NFTs. When "Butters" breaks out of his cell in the episode , devastation and chaotic conditions occur, which are similar to a natural disaster. A firefighter explains the situation as follows:


“He has escaped before. Back then, he could get thousands of people to invest in NFTs in a matter of hours. Just like it almost worked out for you two [Stan and Kyle]. Another 30 seconds with him and hers would have invested in NFTs. "

A clear swipe at the current hype about non-fungible tokens, through which crypto collectibles and crypto works of art, with sometimes very banal content, are pushed over the digital shop counter for downright absurd sums.


While the crypto industry has recently become more and more a topic in film and television, South Park refrained from commenting directly on the topic for years, although the popular animated series is actually always close to the pulse of the times. In the last 10 years, cryptocurrencies have never really got into the firing line of the show's black humor, which only changed this November when Bitcoin ( BTC ) was finally mentioned as a "seedy pyramid scheme" .


If the "dystopia" drawn by South Park should become a reality, then the hype surrounding NFTs will only intensify in the coming years. Since even established entities like Wikipedia are now jumping on the bandwagon , this scenario is perhaps not that unlikely. The popular online encyclopedia has now sold the first entry in its history for the impressive sum of 750,000 US dollars as NFT. Even valuable luxury items such as a Tesla Roadster are now being exchanged for NFTs , which also proves that their pulling power has now arrived in the mainstream.

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...
