How? You can't see if I own any NFTs right now. You can't see it in gmail. You can't see it on facebook. You don't get ads saying "rich NFT holders in your area!". No one knows or cares if you own an NFT.
- altrum 5y agoThat’s only because the infrastructure for it isn’t there yet. Doesn’t mean it won’t eventually happen

- tablespoon 5y ago> Twitter is adding ownership verification for NFT profile pictures. Then what if someone mints new NFTs based on (say) the same images used for the cryptopunks cartoons? You could get your extremely online bragging rights for an affordable price.
- altrum 5y agoExcept you can't, practically speaking--as the price is baked into the "brand".
- graeme 5y agoBut you’d get twitter verification. Or will twitter only recognize one chain for NFTs? How do you handle someone minting multiple nfts of the same image on different chains?
- altrum 5y agoTwitter, if they build their verification correctly, should determine NFT's sovereignty via the smart contracts, not the chains. Thus, CryptoPunks will only exist on one chain & one smart contract.
- graeme 5y agoBut what stops someone from minting the same jpegs elsewhere? Possible there is some mechanism I’m unaware of
- altrum 5y agoMy thesis on this revolves around the idea of "brands." I wrote about it more in depth here: https://www.robertchung.me/people-dont-understand-nfts https://www.robertchung.me/people-dont-understand-nfts
- Jensson 5y ago> Twitter is adding ownership verification for NFT profile pictures. Twitter seems to have too many engineers.
- yao420 5y agoYou can see what people own by their wallet address. The watch example is apt, similar to a Richard Mille being a flex that 99% of people won’t ever notice or understand it conveys status.
- giantrobot 5y ago"Trust me this watch makes me very cool!"
- graeme 5y agoPeople are going to flash their wallet addresses at bars or at business meetings? We already have strong social taboos about flashing bank accounts. The whole point of status good is they convey wealth rather than tactlessly showing a total.
- atatatat 5y agoYou've never seen where these brags occur? See if this feels familiar: Paris Hilton buys NFT of Hello Kitty! creator's DNA, says "crypto is the future"
- stickyricky 5y agoParis Hilton is possibly the world's richest and best known idiot. The flex here is having a news article written about you. Paris Hilton bought an NFT to stay relevant. Not to become relevant.
- graeme 5y agoThe fancy watch market is much much broader than celebrities
