This video game comparison is super incorrect. If you own an item in a game it’s very often to show it off because others can’t use it, it’s only for you. The closed source nature of games enables this. Nobody would buy them if they were easily used by anyone but you had a super legit receipt saying “mhm this guy actually paid for it”. NFTs of dumb copy pasted JPEGs are completely useless.
- strict9 5y agoYou misunderstood my argument. I'm not comparing NFTs to video games for ownership purposes, but it's "contribution to society." The statement that NFTs "have no societal or cultural value" has been historically attributed to video games and other forms of leisurely/fun activity. It's a bad argument.
- danaris 5y agoThe fact that a specific argument has been used in bad faith in the past does not mean it cannot be used in good faith. Games are demonstrably something valuable: they are art, they are entertainment, they are a product. NFTs are none of those things. They're just a new way to try to milk money out of people, who gain nothing meaningful in return.
