This is a great explanation of the NFT market
- bryanrasmussen 5y agowait, genius idea, scan this and put it inside of an NFT along with the video of you burning the original! So much money!
- cinntaile 5y agoHow so? The analogy breaks down immediately. You're not trying to sell forgery?
- iamacyborg 5y agoYou realise a ton of NFT’s are selling stolen art or breaching someone’s copyright, right?
- cinntaile 5y agoI don't keep track of that, but I'll take your word for it. It doesn't invalidate what I said though. NFTs have more purposes than selling "stolen" art.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoWith NFTs you're trying to sell something worthless too.
- cinntaile 5y agoThis is an endless debate which I won't get myself into.
- paulcole 5y agoDefine worthless
- rhn_mk1 5y agoI'm actually not sure how. What makes a forgery worth less than the original?
- paulcole 5y agoWorth less and worthless are two very different things.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoBut they aren't they related? There's clearly some dilution of value between an original and a forgery. I'm positing that NFTs are even more divorced from "originality" than forgeries – by a factor terrible enough to make them worthless. But I'm not good enough to disentangle the mystery of originality and put the problem in concrete terms.
- paulcole 5y ago> I'm positing that NFTs are even more divorced from "originality" than forgeries – by a factor terrible enough to make them worthless. But what does “worthless” actually mean? Does it mean something you happen to personally dislike? Does it mean something else?
- rhn_mk1 5y agoWhen I say "worthless", I mean "close to 0 on the extension of the scale that stretches from an original to forgery".
