Soooo the obvious question... when does the NFT of the “The Billion Dollar Torrent” drop?
- framecowbird 5y agoOh my goodness, you're totally right. The bullshit train never ends...
- ghuntley 5y agoIt already has https://twitter.com/GeoffreyHuntley/status/1461872376681951232 https://twitter.com/GeoffreyHuntley/status/14618723766819512... and now it's into inception territory. The person who did https://www.thenftbay.org https://www.thenftbay.org (me) got NFT'ed by VVD (passed in at $17,645.42 USD) and now I've NFT'ed his auction result with the proceeds being diverted to Outreachy internships.
- netflixandkill 5y agoWhat does a NFT of a torrent even mean after we stop laughing at the absurdity?
- Jensson 5y agoNFT are just like tweets. An NFT of a torrent is the same thing as a tweet linking to a torrent, just that in this case the tweet is stored in a blockchain and people can buy it.
- netflixandkill 5y agoI understand what NFTs are, but torrents are ephemeral and recreatable and frequently replaced even for the same source data, more akin to indices. Proving you had a copy in the past or traded for said proof conveys nothing if no seeders exist anymore, and abandonment rates are huge outside of archival communities. Other than the mystery and the joke what's the meaning of a NFT for the URL of a deleted tweet?
- Latty 5y agoThe same as every NFT: nothing beyond what everyone agrees to, which right now (and likely forever) is nothing. Well, I suppose separating speculators from their money is another answer.
- ghuntley 5y agoThis is the beauty of Art. I hope more people ponder on this.
- xondono 5y agoI don’t want to tell you what to do, but I hope in my heart that you’ll keep doing this recursively until the mask falls off. I wouldn’t even be mad if you kept the money.
