Plenty of people are making some amount of money with NFTs that's more grounded in reality. I'm one of them. My NFTs sell for a couple hundred bucks and it's wonderful. There are probably hundreds or thousands of artists like

Sure, but if it's an artist you're trying to establish provenance for it's pretty easy. Most artists who are coveted mint through curated platforms. Those who don't might mint directly on opensea where they will have ver

The address that it's minted from is well documented on the blockchain.

Not sure what you mean, can you clarify? How do other languages require cloud infra?

I think the difference is that the bitcoin blockchain might outlive a certain article being accessible on nytimes. The nytiems article can be edited, blockchain data not as much.

There's a good chance that "mining" will out live some pieces of cardboard. Even if the blockchain du jour becomes a thing o the past, it might live on in some device in an emulator thanks to Moore's Law.

"As a new digital currency bitcoin has had the fairest distribution," Not sure I agree with this, but I guess it depends what your definition of fair is. I think something like 2%-5% of BTC wallets control like 90% of BTC.

Great find! I'd love to see it if you don't mind sharing a pic!

Both of these points can be true.

The following ICOs became successful projects: Ethereum Tezos Monero ( I think ) BAT (Brave Browser's Token) There are plenty of others, but these are the ones that came up off the top of my head.

Bug bounty doesn't mean that the reporter is selling the bug they find for a reward. It's a gesture of gratitude from the company. This whole conversation is coming from a place of entitlement.

It's tough as an individual that's just dipping their toes into the water, but if you have some experience, then you typically have an optimized setup with partners in place, etc.

Who would pay $1 for getting a chuckle out of a meme? Also 50 million views is not 50 million visitors. If he had a normal ad monetization channel in place, he should have easily been able to garnish a minimum of a 10 cent CPM and walked aw

Yes perhaps, but the fact is that it's the bitcoin network that secures the majority of the money tied into crypto. It's going to play this role regardless of the technical drawbacks unfortunately. I'm not a bitcoin "max

"Bitcoin has shown it is uninterested in being anything but digital gold." That still makes it very relevant here. Bitcoin is the reserve, while Eth is the settlement layer.

Yep, 100%. The thing that bugs me about Oculus is the facebook connection, and there isn't a viable alternative at a similar price point. Otherwise, spot on. There's also a dotted line between VR and AR which kind of makes it a co

Agreed. It's the invigorating "wild west" vibe that I loved about the early internet.

I would also like to see this claim backed up or at least offered with more context.

Downvote all you want, but you're in denial. GDPR and the like are nothing more than "privacy theater". I work in this industry and know it very well. Cookie opt outs or forced opt-ins on publisher pages aren't helping a

I disagree. It's the over-regulation that calls for these pain in the ass implementations.

I think you are right on. The world is struggling to define what "digital ownership" means. Enter NFTs. I think they are here to stay as a baseline even after it bubbles up and pops.

Cryptocurrency solves for the issue of two people that don't trust each other transacting. How do I know the $100 bill you're handing me isn't fake?

"It rewards bad actors." - But doesn't ANYTHING with financial incentives? First, I absolutely agree that promoting NFTs as a vehicle of investment is insane irresponsible, but promoting NFTs as a potential avenue for "d

I think the part where it's a "scam" that people are falling for is entirely subjective. People who relate to the idea of digital ownership don't feel ripped off, and I think there are plenty of people involved in NFTs w

Eh, this is just some crotchety "get off my lawn" style rant. The truth is that regardless of hype around NFTs, the world is digital and there are people looking to create meaning around "digital ownership". Not everyone
