Apart from being an obvious scam, NFTs are actively doing harm to the environment.
It's like people collecting/trading/selling Funko Pop figures, or most other collectibles. NFTs are pretty much captialism working as intended. Is scam the right word?
- UncleMeat 6y agoSort of? It is clear evidence that capitalism does not actually value productivity or improvement of the human condition, at the very least.
- qqii 6y agoWas it supposed to? Humans aren't maximisers and a cursory glance at history finds that productivity and the human condition is often forgotten.
- UncleMeat 6y agoI don't think it is supposed to. But I do think that a lot of people believe (falsely, in my opinion) that capitalism will produce the best outcomes. Identifying cases where that is clearly not the case can disabuse people of that idea.
