Pyramid scheme
NFTs are a Pyramid scheme
That’s why way back in 2017
I met Judy and Bea
At a meetup in NYC
And we ate pizza with cheese
And Jonathan and John Crain
They didn’t try to sell me anything
They were just as excited as me
Bout digital scarcity
And we talked technology 
And it was fun and free

But sure, you heard about NFTs
Like a month ago
And now you’re very sure that you know
All that you need to know
You’re taking your disdain for the hype
Around blockchain
And mapping it on to this
Which is sensible 

But you gotta see 
Is that for those of us who have been
Working since 2017
It’s about flipping the scene
From giant tech companies
To owning things we’re making

And it’s very early
Nothing is quite ready
There’s tradeoffs that we fear
And so we hold on for dear 
Life as we scream
Digital scarcity
