Hundreds of Salesforce employees object to NFT plans
- g42gregory 5y agoI find this very strange. They complain that an asset is “unregulated”? How would being unregulated concern them, as employees? What if the sustainability criticisms turn out to be wrong 5 yrs from now?
- duped 5y agoThat's the diplomatic way of calling NFTs for what they are: a scam
- mminer237 5y agoSome people have morals that make them oppose plans that they view as likely to economically harm many people. Unregulated, speculative investments like this are a zero-sum game and are going to lead to a lot of people losing their life savings on foolish investments and scams. NFTs waste power right now. If 5 years from now they switch to PoS like Ethereum has been unsuccessfully trying to do for over a decade, then great—you can discuss it then, but it's a clear net negative for humanity at the moment.
- aaaaaaaaata 5y ago> Ethereum has been unsuccessfully trying to do for over a decade Won't waste my time with the back and forth, just letting the reader know this is flagrantly false, to the point it damages the argument.
- doopy1 5y agoLMAO, Ethereum is only ~7 years old.
- mminer237 5y agoMy bad, I was rounding from memory. It looks like they've been trying to move since late 2015, so more like 6 years: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33802343/when-will-ethereum-switch-to-proof-of-stake https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33802343/when-will-ether...
