Somewhere on the scale between "down bad" and "[Elon Musk rageposting]() about [Grimes dating Chelsea Manning]()" lies a crypto lonely heart whose enthusiasm for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) induced an L that he willingly posted. Twitter user Feld4014 [broadcast to his 28.5k followers]() a series of events that any woman who lives in a major city, dates men, and has used dating apps in the past six months has probably encountered. According to Feld, he "matched with a woman" and subsequently "exchanged banter with said woman" — and really, who talks like this in 2022? It's not Reddit circa 2011, my guy — ultimately scheduling a date. Per a screenshot, the woman said she believed the pair would be incompatible because she had "a feeling" that her would-be date would be unable to avoid talking about NFTs — and given that his profile photo features one of the many "Bored Apes" [in the user's NFT collection](), she may well have been right. https://twitter.com/feld4014/status/1503151752404774918?s=21 ## It Gets Worse Though this exchange is indeed a god-tier example of [crypto bros taking L's](), it is absolutely not the worst example we've encountered in recent months. That distinction, almost without question, goes to the many people who have collectively [lost tens of millions of dollars]() worth of crypto on the [many NFT scams]() that keep cropping up in the burgeoning market, which is [arguably a scam itself](). Make no mistake — the aforementioned Tinder exchange is absolutely, irrevocably embarrassing for the person who posted it. But at least he seems to have a sense of humor about it, which can't be said of many of his [NFT-loving compatriots](). **More NFT L-taking:** [*NFT Man Sues for $1 Million After His Precious Ape Is Stolen*]() ## Author At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
