I'd also like to add that games are only one use-case for NFTs. Recently I saw someone offering NFTs for donating to charity. Incentivizing charity donations is a really cool and creative use-case IMO.
- lottin 5y agoThis is like saying someone offered a human sacrifice for donating to charity, therefore incentivising charity donations is one use-case of human sacrifices that is really cool. What?
- serverholic 5y agoYou can't be serious. They were offered a simple collectable token. Why is that bad? People get stickers for voting.
- munk-a 5y agoI feel like that charity incentive still isn't nearly as strong as either 1) the clout, 2) the tax break or 3) just feeling good about themselves.
- serverholic 5y agoOne thing that NFTs have taught me is that people love collectables. If that encourages more people to give then what's the problem?
- munk-a 5y agoOh there's nothing wrong with it - and it might be (much like collectible pins[1]) that this is a thing that can help boost engagement in a profitable manner. But it's just "Gotta Catch'em All"-ism and I wouldn't say it's utterly without value - but there isn't a lot of value there. 1. https://store.penny-arcade.com/collections/pins https://store.penny-arcade.com/collections/pins
- lottin 5y agoI'm not saying that this is either good or bad, I'm simply pointing out that this is not a "use case" of NFTs.
- antifa 5y agoI was going to donate $1000 to charity (or nothing to charity), but now I have the option to pay an additional $100 gas/minting fee for a pointless proof-of-wasted-energy token?
