"Every new subculture eventually develops its own language, and the people
buying and selling NFTs are no different.
The blockchain scene is full of crypto-heads spouting phrases like WAGMI (we
are going to make it), cope, and GM (good morning). Sometimes a subculture will
produce a new phrase or buzzword so beautiful it gets adopted by the wider
culture. So it is with “right-clicker mentality.”
An NFT-bro using the phrase “right-clicker mentality” went viral on October 26
on Twitter while talking about Salt Bae. If you aren’t familiar, Salt Bae is a
Turkish chef named Nusret Gökçe who went viral in 2017 for the way he sprinkles
salt on meals. His restaurants boomed on the back of his internet success and
now he charges tens of thousands of dollars for gold-encrusted steaks at his
London location.
A popular genre of post online right now teaches you how to make Salt
Bae-quality meals at bargain prices. In one video, a man recreated one of Salt
Bae’s $2,000 steaks for about $90. A NFT fan apparently felt that this was an
example of what they called a “right-clicker mentality” and took to Twitter to
share their frustration."
