Continue where you left off, except without access to OpenSea (or whatever other vendor), in an economy where the value of the contents of your wallet is increasingly dependent on the availability and visibility of your "digital assets" on vendor services.
But you're right. Decentralization is not the problem that the crypto community is trying to solve, because they don't actually care about a decentralized "Web3". They care about the parts of the system that make them rich. The "decentralization" cant is just social-good camouflage, no different from Facebook's claims about making lives better through the "metaverse".
- TobyTheDog123 5y agoI don't see it quite as pessimistically. Of course people are going to try to make as much money as possible being early to something they consider the next big thing. Of course there were going to be ridiculous dogecoins and shibcoins and peepeepoopoo coins that make people rich just because people are having fun and being reckless in this new wild west of online currency. That doesn't make legitimate projects null and void, or devalue the problems they're trying to solve.
- fastball 5y agoIf you get banned from OpenSea but still want to sell your Bored Ape, you definitely still can, and almost certainly for whatever the market rate on OpenSea is.
- djur 5y agoWhat if the NFT itself gets banned from OpenSea?
- sohailk 5y agoThere's a few more NFT market places you can sell it on? You can try selling it P2P? Opensea is reliant on the NFT marketplace/culture, not the other way around.
- genge 5y agoOpenSea is a DAO, so if they: a) voted an NFT out: well, people against it would move to an other platform and still have access to their NFT. b) somoeone on the front-end deleted access to an NFT: they would probably move the front-end somewhere else.
- AlchemistCamp 5y agoThen you sell it on LooksRare, which many ape holders apparently already use due to the lower fees.
