I think what you're missing is that Adidas and many streetware companies have already gone decades without acknowledging that their purchasers for certain merchandise are scalpers and speculators.
Its a massive scene that has grown by orders of magnitude over the last decade like many other scenes.
The only thing new here is that adidas finally acknowledged it.
- shkkmo 5y agoI'm not missing that fact. I think that NFTs are a bad, customer hostile solution to that problem.
- vmception 5y agoIts more of a byproduct of a marketing push than an attempt at a solution. I didn't say Adidas did this because of a problem, they did this for fun. The problem is also distorted due to it. In the context of Adafruit's issue, the same model would have a result a bit more different than a one-time-password implementation.

This, I absolutely agree with. > In the context of Adafruit's issue, the same model would have a result a bit more different than a one-time-password implementation. Adafruit is trying to keep access affordable, so the Adidas model isn't appropriate to their goals.
