You may not like it, for many personal reasons (traditional explanation: "What didn't exist when you were 25 is an horrible heresy"), but I disagree with most of what's said.
On a more personal note: you shouldn't try to force your tastes down other people throats.
Say you don't personally like NFT or crypto, but not that they're "bad".
- NicoJuicy 5y agoWhat's the value in millions of these auto generated pics? Ps. Those pics are mostly avatars too... ( I think monkeys were popular)

- NicoJuicy 5y agoWash trading is called social signaling now? Proof of ownership of a jpeg on a Google drive means that you can proof that you own a deleted pic. Nice, but worthless.
- rodiger 5y agoI agree there are tons of low value projects/grifters out there. Happy to have a good faith discussion with you, but doesn't seem like that's your intention given that response.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoI'm just starting the obvious. Many non tech people don't understand all of this. They think they actually own a Jpg on someone's gdrive. While there is nothing they can do if the "property owner" actually deletes it.
- plamoprot 5y agoNone of that exists unless a platform / jurisdiction with actual utility / community adopts that specific NFT/blockchain as a source of truth for something that can actually be owned/used on their platform, outside the blockchain. Twitter, World of Warcraft, El Salvador, someone. But such parties are happy to use their own relational databases for that sort of thing instead. When will that change? Why would anyone that owns a successful platform-that-could-integrate-NFTs, want to?
- boh 5y agoThanks for clarifying how he should be expressing his opinion. Also:This response is bad.
- csdvrx 5y ago> Also:This response is bad. As long as your statement is presented as an opinion, I'm fine with that.
