- sp332 6y agoI've never seen anyone as prolific as Beeple. I've seen artists match this for shorter stretches, but every day for 13 years??
- Grakel 6y agoNFTs are here to stay. Their value is no more arbitrary than the value attributed to art on canvas. It's the idea of the thing, and more importantly, mutual agreement. Now smash that into the digitization of everything and a couple decades later we have this. Enough confidence in the permanence of tech to have manufactured virtual scarcity.

- im3w1l 6y agoA common sentiment: This makes no sense to me. But lets add something: NFT's make sense for low-value consumer purchase. Buy a Lady Gaga album, and it's noted down on the blockchain that you own it. Google Music goes down? Ownership is yours still. Other stores (could be legally required to) still honor it. Possible to sell your album second hand.
- sp332 6y agoGoogle could just sign a proof-of-purchase. There's no particular benefit to putting the proof on a blockchain.
- jokethrowaway 6y agoThis, a blockchain for storing ownership is incredibly inefficient.
- im3w1l 6y agoPutting it on the blockchain makes it transferable.
- sp332 6y agoWe could let users sign a bill of sale. That could either be packaged together with the original proof of purchase in a private transaction, or published to avoid a "double-spending" situation where both the old and new owners claim the item. Or, have the users do the transaction on one of these participating websites and create a new proof-of-purchase and revoke the old one.
