I was thinking trading cards too, but thinking of specifically trading them.
I wasn't really watching the images in the demo video, so at first I though he was transferring one image to another. This made me think it would be really cool if there were exactly one way to get a new image on your card: put it on a device that swaps two cards. You'd get a new image, but they'd lose theirs. So you'd actually have to commit to trading.
I guess that sounds a little like NFTs, but hopefully without the douchey scamminess.
- jonahss 4y agoThat't a neat idea. I was thinking of genetic algorithms for 'breeding' cards, and maybe AI image synthesis for the pictures? I thought it'd be so cool if all the cards from one town look one way, and they're different the next state over. So when you go on a school trip, you can pick up cards not available in your area.
- TylerE 4y agoI mean CCG is kinda the original MFT scam. Look at how MtGox got started.
- jonahss 4y agoAnd baseball cards predate that
- TylerE 4y agoI don’t see that as quite the same since they actually had some value when the only way to get stats was a newspaper
- SamBam 4y agoHow did the value of seeing those stats make a first edition Babe Ruth card worth hundreds of thousands of dollars? I mean, yes, everything has value. I can write a memo in an NFT that I don't want to forget. Obviously we're talking about the value as compared to the price.
