I’m glad some people understand beyond the headlines, I think NFTs could be really neat as a way to have some sort of in-game item or w/e, fully transferable and all that 🤷♂️
Especially since most nfts I’m aware of are on the ethererum blockchain, which now uses orders of magnitude less electricity from the switch off of PoW
Impossible at this point. I’m not even remotely joking when I say I have never seen a more powerful misinformation campaign in my entire life, for anything political even, as I did for brainwashing the masses into believing that NFT = JPEG. Literally almost every human you will encounter knows the term NFT and thinks as a fact that it’s just another image file type, but in particular one that was heavily memed and morons/criminals moved incredible sums of money over. They don’t understand that a lot of the extremely high dollar NFT sales are just money laundering or other criminal loopholes, they just think really rich people are paying millions for monkey pictures. It’s the most lost cause of anything. You might as well try convincing the world that religion isn’t real; right as you may be, it’s impossible to accomplish.
It would even be cool to have common ownership between games, like if I bought a license for a cool skin and the dev/modder made the skin compatible with a bunch of other games. The game would just check if I own that particular IP, and the load the appropriate data that corresponds to in the game.
It would also be cool to buy and sell houses w/o having to go through a title company ($$$). If deeds were on a blockchain, the state could just look up ownership info and bill whoever the current owner is when tax season rolls around. There are already mechanisms for managing liens and whatnot (smart contracts), so I could completely skip the corrupt financial industry.
The same is true for a ton of other things. NFTs could be an amazing technology to simplify a ton of real life things. As long as people agree to a given blockchain, transactions would be incredibly straightforward.
But no, scammers had to go and mismarket it, rich people had to use it for money laundering, and governments had to go on attack mode. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Sadly I’m on the latter train as well xD yeah completely agree.
Exactly!

Yep, completely agree
