Maybe I’m dumb but I don’t get this whole NFT thing. It’s digital. You can never truly own it and put it on display in your home. It’s not like you can enjoy it like downloading music, and I think even that’s weird, with no physical copy. So, you “own” a digital image that someone else created while simultaneously being collectively responsible for accelerating climate change?
Why?????????
@ChippySuave You're not dumb. You are right on target.
@ChippySuave in certain situations unique digital property could make sense. Like the ability to own a unique weapon, outfit, vehicle in a game that could also be resold, that could be interesting. But generally I agree with your overall assessment. It will be interesting to see what, if anything, useful can be done with this technology.
@ChippySuave NFTs are like crypto. A hidden ponzi scheme with very little oversight and regulations
@ChippySuave I had a “disagreement” w/ an old high school classmate as she was starting a new business that dealt with NFTs & had raised a crazy amount of money for the startup. I asked her to explain the worth of NFTs other than folks with too much money just buying latest thing that was physically nothing. She compared it to art because she said buying art was silly but fun. I’m like, “But you physically have the art!” I can understand buying things for, say, gameplay, but a straight NFT? 🤷🏻♂️
@ChippySuave Money laundering obscured by suckers recruited by celebrities (who probably don't know about the money laundering)
