NFT

HSuke

How am I going to do that for an NFT, home, or private asset whose value is only known when sold? I'd need to get every asset appraised annually.

ThisIsNotDre

Alt season was hard coping. Outside the crypto bubble basically anything beyond btc and eth are seen as scams, and even those still hold the stink leftover from the shitcoin/defi/NFT craze. The only thing alt coins are associated with now are rug pulls. 4 years isn't long enough for people to forget and for many that was literally the "fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you" moment already falling for the alrcoin craze in 2017 or so. Also, what has come out of any of those projects that defends their tokens actually being worth anything?

baIIern

Same happened to me with $28 from a Reddit NFT I got for free (can you imagine that lol). Tried sending coins (don't remember which) to Kraken over an unsupported network. Well, in the end the started supporting it and I got my coins like half a year later 👍 Not all hope is lost brother

SpartanKing76

It’s like reading an NFT sub filled with people who spent lots of real life $$$ to buy something that will never have any value or use and holding on desperately hoping their losses won’t be realised if theirs another boom. Most crypto sand related stuff has been nothing but a scam. Kudos to those who got in early with it all and made fortunes, I think for the vast majority it’s been a rollercoaster which is slowly running out of track.

Constant-Growth1265

Yeah, but it will never degrade in value either, because there’s an illegal market for it. I can't say the same for other crypto that have no usecase and when we reach max stupid (google: "the Dutch tulip bubble burst") they will go to 0 as NFT's did.

Express-Economist-86

I’m telling y’all, get on the GoMining app, it’s the shit. Just $25 (less now I think) for an NFT miner representing real hash rate, Bitcoin in your account every 24 hours, free transfer to cold storage… when the price goes down my daily sats earned goes UP as other miners turn off. Sure, my USD value is hurting, but this drawdown has increased my mining amount significantly. Yes, I would have made more saving til now and buying low, but I can’t read the future. We all know it’s going back up, owning a piece of the network processing power (all the time) works out way better for my steady sat stacking, personally. If you want to try it, look for a referral discount code - everyone gets one for joining. I’m not giving mine here - it’s not about that for me, it’s about more people being armed with reliable access. Aaaand maybe there’s a tax break on the miners as reasonable/necessary business expenses? Idk for sure, but I’m going for it. There definitely is on electric/maintenance. ROI looks about 2.5 years at current prices. If it goes up, who knows?

That “average Joe” point is exactly why a platform like this exists in the first place, to make mining accessible without needing warehouses, transformers, or industrial power contracts. Through infrastructure and hardware partnerships, they can get electricity and hosting costs far lower than what a home miner could manage, which is the only way this model makes sense. I agree with you that the “1 NFT = 1 ASIC” narrative is just marketing. What you’re actually getting is a proportional share of all the ASIC hashrate and its pool rewards. The rewards aren’t fixed, like real mining, they depend on Bitcoin price and network difficulty. When difficulty rises or BTC drops, rewards fall; when difficulty drops or BTC rises, rewards increase. That’s exactly how real pool-based mining works, not a fixed “casino-style” payout. Like you said, the platform is about to hit 5 years and has been evolving over time. I also buy BTC using DCA, but I don’t have the possibility to mine at home because electricity costs are prohibitive. I judge the platform based on whether the pool hashrate is real, withdrawals work, and rewards match expected mining math, not on marketing claims. So far, the numbers line up with real mining economics under current BTC price and difficulty. If that changes or there’s evidence of fake payouts, I’ll call it out. Until then, I treat it as a speculative experiment with limited exposure, not a miracle machine.

I mean, why would you launder money through an NFT collection, where all wallets and history are visible?

dropped $2K and got my butt head NFT. only 1,000 ever. when this community hits 50K members those NFTs are going to be legendary.

No NFT?

Mikkelsejer

scrolled past solfart 3 times this month. today i finally clicked. 30 minutes later i own tokens AND a butt head NFT. sometimes the universe just needs you to stop overthinking and ape >:)

Yes they used web3, NFT and meme tokens to bring people into crypto. Then ETF. So what's next? Probably PnD.

NFT are so dumb

kirtash93

The classic scam move, you get a few famous people to shill your NFT xD

AdAncient6591

Sweet man. I just wanna get along. Im about to post again if you're hanging around. Busy productive day. I did 2 NFT'S in 24 hours and published 2 books on Amazon. Im an animal lol. Thank you for your time Thomas Harrison Founder of The Festive Coin Official.

AdAncient6591

Im busy posting a new NFT on exchange. I'm running a business and do the books, the NFT'S, the posts. My day is long. I replied within 24 hours. Look for the post I'm putting out tonight. If you Google me, you'll see im 55 and a strong earner. Thank you for your time Thomas Harrison Founder of The Festive Coin Official.

while saying an NFT is just a link is technically more correct than saying its a jpg, this is also very misinformed. The function of an NFT is digital proof of ownership secured by a public ledger (blockchain). Over the course of human history, nobody has ever figured out how to prove ownership without a 3rd party. NFTs represented the first time we could do that. This is why the technology itself shouldn't be lumped in with the behavior of degens. The impact of a trustless ownership verification shouldn't be overlooked. Real world assets and digital assets could both benefit from this.

mickalawl

An NFT was a link representing a receipt and pointing to some off chain server where a jpg may or may no longer be stored, with no legal protection of the image nor any real world obligation to retain the image on the external server. Assuming the image was ever there or didnt get moved or renamed. Or was a picture of what you even thought you were buying.

OkBuy4754

Pro tip: Any NFT site requiring withdrawal 'help' is a scam. I've seen this pattern repeatedly through my exchange audits.

Speedy-08

There were a bunch of celebs that got NFT's for "free" as part of being an agency tied to Opensea to shill.

AdAncient6591

Im as real as they come. Im 55 and led as CEO through my career. I'm unique. Name 1 new token that is almost 4k deep on their coin. Name an author and NFT creator that rolls much of the liquidity back into the community. Lastly, I haven't touched 1 token since my start 26 days ago. 89,000 tokens die daily. I'm #1 for google search around the world because I give back to people like you. I keep the floor concrete. We grow daily come drop some SOL IN FESTIVE COIN.

# Reddit report from "THOMAS HARRISON HIMSELF" -- from WHO? * "Google me, I'm legit": Why? This is not how one should do due diligence on the viability of a coin. * You tell us that you work 16 hours a day, that you're under the microscope, that you're taking a hit, but **why should that matter**? We don't invest in coin because of you but rather because of hard data on the coin, such as liquidity, market cap, listings, tokenomics, audits,... things that I don't see you have mentioned. * "I haven't sold tokens": you're appealing here to trust you, but again, nothing about the coin itself. * You state that your coin is "backed" by art sales, books, a bookstore, but this is merchandise revenue, not collateral, not real backing. It's all hustle and no hard data. * You encourage folks to "stay in and keep buying": Why? So others can pump-and-dump? Again, we need hard data, not personal appeals. * You state that you "earn in the red": What the heck does that mean? Seriously, this looks to be nonsense. * Again we need facts on the coin itself, including information mentioned above, as well as development info, roadmap, audits, ... **technical details** not some nonsense "**founder-as-hero**" narrative, something that we've seen before when NFT projects tanked.

its amazing that people in the cryptocurrency subreddit do not actually understand the technology behind NFTs and write posts like this. The degen NFT trading was not good, but if you like crypto you should at least understand what NFTs actually are and be able to separate that from the way people used them. Saying you downloaded an image and now own it shows this ecosystem has fallen into people who don't even understand blockchain and are just trading things on mobile apps.

GabeSter

Bieber did not "buy" an NFT. He was given funds by BAYC to "buy" the NFT with BAYC money. Bieber lost nothing and got a Bored Ape NFT.

PURpleVAuLt714

prob some girl or guy out there would pay $12k to have sex with JB......and you get a NFT as a memento!

Cautious-Lecture-858

His net worth is +$200M. If you have $10k and you buy an NFT for $100 for the plot, you’re not stupid, you’re just bored and couldn’t give less of a fuck.

AcostaJA

NFT inventors (same as Bitcoin inscriptions) deserves the hell.

DanlovesTechno

Your username somewhat checks out with the monkey theme of the post. I mean the NFT not the singer.

MarvelAndColts

If I recall, the Bored Ape guys transferred Beiber $5 million so that he could buy this NFT at an inflated price and drive their narrative. It was essentially advertising.

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; Justin Bieber purchased a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT for $1.3 million in January 2022, but its value has since plummeted to around $12,000. The NFT, lacking rare attributes, was criticized even at the time of purchase. The broader NFT market, including collections like CryptoPunks and Pudgy Penguins, has seen significant declines in value during a prolonged downturn. Despite this, Yuga Labs, the creator of Bored Ape NFTs, continues to develop projects like a Miami clubhouse and a metaverse game to support the collection. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

MinimalGravitas

The most popular NFTs are already those that provide utility... ENS names (i.e. the human friendly labels that people use for addresses - whoever***.ETH***); DEx liquidity positions (i.e. the record your wallet recieves when you provide liquidity to a trading pair on Uniswap etc); and POAPs (the virtual badges that everyone collects at conferences, virtual events etc). NFT doesn't mean 'JPG file hash', the pictures people trade are just one particularly useless type of NFT... I'm not trying to make you feel particularly stupid, bizarely it seems a lot of people here have no idea about anything other than the silly monkey pictures.

cyclicalwand

Concert tickets, once bought can only be used by the wallet that bought them. Could be coded into the ticket that if resold can only be sold through official channels to stop touting. Luxury goods could come with an NFT to prove ownership of a genuine product to stop counterfeiting. Your education and college degrees could be an NFT to prove your qualifications. I’m sure there’s other ways to use them.

6g87BTfuXhlhYKfw3r

I can think of some good reasons. If they don't own bitcoin, then they see the high price and they feel like they missed out. That's not a good feeling. It makes them feel like people that do own bitcoin just got lucky, made easy money and don't deserve it. If they used to own some cryptocurrency but they don't own it anymore, then there is a good chance they got burned and lost money in the past. That happened to a lot of cryptocurrency investors. Or they have a friend and/or family member that lost money investing in cryptocurrencies in the past. And then there is the fact that over 99.999% of cryptocurrencies appear to be a scam to anyone that is not invested in altcoins. And even 100% of cryptocurrencies appear to be a scam to many people that have never actually researched bitcoin. I believe that over 99% of altcoins were created to enrich their founders and insiders. None of them are as secure, as decentralized, or launched as fairly as bitcoin. Bitcoin was not premined, did not have a presale, did not have a developer fund, did not have a developer tax, and does not have a leader. Satoshi never sold, he made no profit, he got no fame for his real identity, he removed himself from the project, and he gave a two month heads up before he launched Bitcoin. Satoshi took careful steps to make sure that the world would look back and observe that Bitcoin was launched fairly: * No premine (Satoshi didn’t grant himself any coins) * Gave a 2 month heads up before launching the network (no sudden release and no mining before release) * Coins had no value for 1.5 years so they circulated freely (it's not even possible for an altcoin to replicate this) * Satoshi never cashed out (unlike every other cryptocurrency founder) But people just see bitcoin as the same as any other premined and centralized cryptocurrency. They haven't done the research, so they don't know the difference between bitcoin and safemoon/fartcoin/shib/xrp/bsv other than the price. All cryptocurrencies appear like a scam to them. And that's without even getting into NFTs. NFTs were a stupid scam and they were relentlessly promoted by influencers, celebrities and even companies. Many naive people got burned investing in those scams. That would really leave a salty taste in your mouth in regards to cryptocurrencies in general. And on top of that, most people know someone that got burned investing in NFTs and everybody knows someone that got burned investing in cryptocurrency. If you're reading this and you don't already know how NFTs really on a technical level, then [click this link to read a long reddit comment](https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/ri1gtf/so_mainstream_it_is_the_words_hodl_and_the/houym53/) that explains it in detail. I'm guessing many of you don't know how billionaires and millionaires colluded to hype up NFTs, buy them before hyping them up, pay celebrities to pretend to buy them, and then dump them on the naive retail. [Click this link to another reddit comment to read about that.](https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/rqzx6k/daily_discussion_december_29_2021/hqgeq11/) I'll copy and paste a little of it below. "Mr. Beast reveals that back in February, he purchased some CryptoPunks after Gary Vaynerchuk introduced the CryptoPunks idea through a group call with 33 other billionaires. Logan Paul was also part of the call, and when the CryptoPunk view got shared, they all decided to invest in it. MrBeast revealed that he first bought 8 Punks which he later sold, and then invested in Gary Vaynerchuk’s VeeFriends." Five months after Gary Vaynerchuk tells other millionaires and billionaires to buy cryptopunks during a group call because they are going to be huge, he makes media headlines: "Gary Vaynerchuk Just Paid $3.7 Million in Ethereum for a CryptoPunk NFT - It's the fourth-highest price ever paid for a CryptoPunk." **And some of you wonder why redditors outside of cryptocurrency subreddits hate cryptocurrency?** 😂 Read this entire comment and think hard about it. I'm sure it'll eventually click.

No they’re not they took a gamble and it paid off. If NFT’s had similar success you’d be calling early investors into those “some of the best investors of all time”, but it flopped so you’re not

I dunno, I think i understand Cardano pretty well. A big issue of theirs was how they tried to build use cases, often behind others doing similar projects and often in worse ways. Cardano has tokenization! Nobody cared. NFT's? Nope. How about just the coin itself for the use case? Nope. They tried making it a ubiquitous cross border currency in Africa, only to find out that the gas fees destroyed the notions of a low cost coin being used for every day purchases when people were having to shell out a rather large percentage for fees compared to what they had just spent... so that shit failed. Then later on we see Cardano's head Charles Hoskinson rubbing up against the leg of the Trump administration in the hopes that they might put some ADA into the governments coffers in an effort to give it more legitimacy. Trump did what Trump does, and fucked the guy over by not actually accruing any ADA, but by holding on to a small amount the government had already seized... but not before a good solid speculative pump that good old Charles used to make himself lots and lots of money. I remember people laughing at me when I got out around 85 cents at the time. Cardano had a fun idea with Ouroboros, this notion that fees would circle back into wallets through staking, but it seems to not be enough to keep people investing, not when staking their coin through things like Daedalus won't even beat inflation. Then you have the unmitigated failure that Sundaeswap was, with the token to date having lost 99.4 percent of it's overall value. Cardano was/is... in many ways... a worse version of coins like Algorand, which beat it in speed, transaction cost and scalability, but even Algorand didn't win out, and that's what I usually point to when people are confused about the crypto space, because if solid tech in regards to the 'trilemma' is what people were really looking for, they'd have found it in Algorand... but it turns out none of this is about any of that. Cardano survives because it's old, and well known in the space, and because there are still scores of people out there, extolling it's virtues, holding their bags, and waiting.

If you can only pick one, BTC is generally the safer choice as long-term core crypto exposure - it’s the most established, most widely adopted, and the least idiosyncratic. ETH has higher optionality due to DeFi/NFT/web3 activity, but also more moving pieces and protocol risk. So for a tight budget and dip buying, BTC first, ETH second, is a simple rule of thumb.

MrCalabunga

TBH: My cost average for BTC is 17.5k, yet here I am still saying this. It's not just about the value: The sentiment in this space has completely shifted from technology, use, adoption and has gone all-in on degeneracy. A little bit of degeneracy I can understand, but damn. I remember coming in here and reading about how cypto will finally give small businesses a chance to thrive away from Visa/Mastercard/AMEX/Discover's 3-4% fees; conversations about how NFT technology could be utilized in indie game development to benefit asset creators; hype surrounding L2 and what it can bring to DeFi. These conversations have all concluded and now all that's left is the casino. "bUt itS alWys Been a cAsIno" no stfu you clearly haven't been here long at all if you truly believe that's *all* this space has ever been.

FakePlasticPyramids

An NFT can at least point to a jpg. Bitcoin can't do much at all.

jimmybirch

If the point is BTC is similar to an NFT... Well, it kind of proves my point... No matter how terrible a known NFT is doing, they will have a value above 0.00

Rayl24

Ztoxed

I love how ppl try and read BTC like a stock. It has zero the characteristics,. Unlike most, I never hold. To me that is true gambling. This Sub and others its easy enough to read the current hype. When everyone says hold the last week it dumped and thought watching the panic make money. Keep in mind, BTC could be replaced easily the next 5 years. Palantir was 7.00 couple years ago and they moved in and replaced major players. I will never understand the hype to hold. Same people pumped that NFT and Trump coins. BTC is not immune to bottom out.

Nope. That pfp is likely an ordinal (BTC). You know you can just ask Grok and it can tell you if it wasn't already obvious from the bio? https://x.com/i/grok/share/fccf574232934d2e9fbbd49c231c577d >What sort of crypto projects does this person seem to interested in? >Searching on X >27 results >Searching users on X >@coinyeezy >(Elon Moist) shows strong interests in Bitcoin-related and scaling-focused crypto projects, with a clear emphasis on ecosystems that prioritize on-chain utility, high throughput, and real-world functionality over hype-driven trends.Key patterns from their posts and bio:Heavy Bitcoin focus, especially Bitcoin SV ($BSV): They have a long history of posting about BSV as a superior version of Bitcoin (faster/cheaper transactions, more scripting capabilities), defending its community ("diamond handed"), and questioning BTC's value proposition in comparison. Older posts push BSV for corporate treasuries and express desire for BTC/BCH users to "come back to Bitcoin" (implying BSV as the true vision). Ordinals and Bitcoin ecosystem innovations: They contribute to or create @ordinalswallet , which ties into Bitcoin Ordinals (inscriptions/NFT-like assets on BTC). >Perpetual trading and DeFi on Bitcoin: Involved in creating @minaperps (likely Mina Perps), a project for 24/7 perps trading on @HyperliquidX , emphasizing on-chain degeneracy, permissionless global finance, stablecoin integration, and shifting capital from TradFi. >Broader Bitcoin bullishness and cycle predictions: Strong conviction in Bitcoin's massive upside (e.g., BTC to $1M in 2026), capital flowing from gold into BTC then Ethereum/alts with utility, and patterns signaling major upturns in the Bitcoin ecosystem. >Other mentions: Occasional questions about things like "zcash on solana" (privacy coins or cross-chain ideas) and Solana-related architecture for stablecoins/DeFi, but the core stays Bitcoin-centric. Contributor role: They contribute to @yoursxbt (likely a Bitcoin-related project or protocol). >Overall, this person gravitates toward Bitcoin scaling/maximalist projects (especially BSV), Ordinals/inscriptions, on-chain perpetuals/DeFi (via Hyperliquid/MinaPerps), and utility-driven Bitcoin innovations rather than memecoins, pure Ethereum L2s, or short-term hype plays. Their bio and posts reflect a builder/contributor mindset in the Bitcoin space, with optimism for a big 2026 bull run driven by real utility and capital inflows.

Miss_Curie

I remember those days. The NFT hype—sleepless nights bidding, the rush of owning something “new,” and then watching it all collapse within a year or two. Hard not to worry about crypto ending up the same way

Ok_Confusion_1777

Does it have an NFT?

liquid_at

when derivatives were becoming big after 2022 the amount of money being traded by large corporations and holding companies exceeded the volume of miners providing bitcoin by multiples. What makes you think the miner-based 4 year cycles are not affected by that? In a sense, you're looking at Latin American Natives a year after Columbus landed, pretending that nothing changed and that the local society will just keep living like they used to... Wallstreet did not come to join our community... they came to take the land. They bring financial viruses you are not accustomed to. They kill the Bisons you used to sustain yourself and they make sure you work for them now. But hey... At least you got some glass-pearl-NFT of a bored ape for your Fiat-Bars... They look beautiful, don't they? Aren't you happy you made such a great deal? /s

There is no use of Bitcoin. It's a stored value, just like an NFT. It's worthless and has no function, no utility. So yes, theoretically it can go down to zero.

If you're interested in Defi, I'd check out Freighter: [https://www.freighter.app/](https://www.freighter.app/) It's a wallet (mobile and browser extension) that has a browser that allows you to interact with various defi protocols, and it should be familiar and pretty easy to use. What's there? Blend (lending/borrowing), FxDAO (CDP), Aquarius (AMM), Litemint (NFT marketplace), Soroswap (AMM), all worth checking out!

Even if you like NFTs, the experience on Nifty just felt awful. They tried creating a walled garden that you couldn't leave, but they never attracted any reason for you to show up in the first place. My one and only purchase there will be stuck on their platform for eternity (or until February) because I'm not paying them more money to move the NFT off platform (also only bought it to support an artist I like, don't actually care about the NFT).

tldr; Gemini Trust Co., founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, announced the closure of its Nifty Gateway NFT marketplace, effective February 23. The platform, launched in 2020, was known for high-profile NFT drops and collaborations but is shutting down amid a prolonged downturn in the NFT market. Gemini is shifting its focus to building a 'one-stop super app' for crypto users. Users can withdraw assets from Nifty Gateway and migrate them to the Gemini ecosystem. The move reflects Gemini's strategic consolidation and focus on integrated wallet-based services. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article.

The days of the NFT craze are long gone and way behind us. Back then every man and his dog were churning out garbage and sold for multiples of ETH. The one that stood out was the kid with the weird whales. He must be choking with laughter with all the ETH he scooped up.

A) Why are you so angry? B) Cults are bullish. C) Rugging infers to liquidity being pulled which was not the case. He did dump massive amounts relentlessly and the community (aka CULT) called him out for this and lying about the NFT marketplace he was fraudulently promoting and the community CTO'd, which I'd say it quite a good sign to see. D) Thank you for reading this and best wishes to you and yours.

Digital ownership still makes sense in some instances. It just doesn’t make sense if it’s a picture of a cartoon ape. The instances where NFTs would make sense were never allowed to exist. For example, you buy digital loot boxes in a game with real money and you obtain digital items that are linked to your account forever. If it was an NFT you would have the ability to sell or trade that item you bought on a secondary digital market. Same with digital game downloads or music. The thing is, companies would never allow people to truly own a digital asset, even when they still own the licensing.

NFT, during the bull run of 2019 onwards exploded. I remember MMcrypto who bought several NFT for tons of money and I was thinking this is really absurd and crazy. NFT are now dead. The coming ALT season, if there would be one, will find news ways to trick people that the next big thing after NFT is back I’m sure

Don't feel bad for anyone who lost big bucks on NFT's because 1) the concept and valuation of them was just bogus to begin with and 2) if anyone can spend 2 mil on a fking JPEG they have the money to gamble.

Weren't most of the really high price NFTs just a big money laundering thing? I thought it was an easy way to move a few million at a time by "buying art" when really the buyer didn't care about the NFT itself.

I get your point. But ask yourself: Why did the general public leave? ​They didn't leave because the tech was boring. They left because they got scared. They got rugged, hacked, or confused by complex wallets. ​The next innovation that 'sparks' mass interest won't be a new memecoin or NFT collection. It will be Invisible Safety. ​Think about the early Internet. Normies didn't use it for banking until the SSL Lock (HTTPS) appeared and they felt safe. ​That's what I'm building. Not a casino game, but the 'Green Lock' for Web3. An automated, quantum-resistant trust layer that tells a grandma: 'This contract is safe' before she clicks. ​Safety is the boring innovation that enables the exciting mass adoption. Without it, we are just trading among ourselves.

Because the NFT actually doesnt mean ownership of the tweet. Duh

StupidlyLiving

Second hand toilet paper could be dried and burned and used. NFT are less than useles

Beautiful headline from the Guardian, 13 months after dude bought the NFT: [Man who paid $2.9m for NFT of Jack Dorsey’s first tweet set to lose almost $2.9m](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/apr/14/twitter-nft-jack-dorsey-sina-estavi)

> One of the few NFT projects that actually built something and is still using the concept of nfts the right way is Asprey Studio… Tomorrowland festival also has a good set that is used as a kind of membership program to get access to ticket sales. Also has help its value very well. A set of 3 used to be around 400 usd and is still around 3200 usd at this moment.

HighPurchase

As much as I hated the concept of NFT’s I do think they will make a comeback. The size of the counter strike, Fortnite and Roblox skin markets show demand does exist. Just not when the item in question is literally a 100% useless monkey JPEG. Mark my words by 2035 some kind of NFT will get forced into some activation / epic games IP and I’ll get to watch on the sidelines and make fuck all as god intended.

GrinbeardTheCunning

No, the crypto he paid is worth 10 mil now the NFT, like all NFTs, is now worthless

Oh so like a record in a database? You know, the thing we've had for decades before NFT's came along?

> NFT was just data representing ownership I know > Of course it has real world association if the artist created it and agreed the nft represented ownership. no - the opposite is true. virtual relationship exists - no a real world relationship. Da Vinci actually placed the paint on the canvas of the Mona Lisa - the equivalent cannot exist for NFTs, by definition. the particles of an object that were handled by the artist are part of a physical artwork - there is no possibility of that being true for an NFT. > Anyway the concept needed buy-in and perhaps legal grounding but it didn’t happen no the concept was just stupid to begin with - it played out exactly as predicted. idiots piled in and paid for worthless digital assets, lots of dubious people made a killing. it was a brilliant device for taking money from simple minded people.

AcademicMistake

I would say second hand toilet paper is worth more. DNA has value, and it can also be recycled. That NFT is 100% useless.

maxymob

Some of them still haven't turned that page. Randos never stopped posting on the NFT subreddit trying to sell their digital art pics with titles like "which one do you prefer..." or "Would you buy these?" and each time, I'm baffled at the amount of positive replies. I genuinely don't get how anyone in their right mind would care to buy them NFT. They have no value and no purpose on their own it doesn't make any sense.

NFT are against the own design of the internet.

DogDogDogDogog

That's not how NFT's work. It is nothing but a reference to a centralized database. Once that database is gone, the NFT is gone.

neoKushan

It is easily fact checked and you are correct. https://opensea.io/item/polygon/0x28009881f0ffe85c90725b8b02be55773647c64a/20 It currently has a single offer of 0.025 WETH, which is worth about ~$70. So the value is essentially $70 as that's what at least one person is willing to pay for it. It should be noted that the guy that bought it hasn't accepted any offers and still owns it (For whatever "owning" an NFT means).

hitmarker

What stops you from faking the nfc tags that lead to a different NFT of the same picture?

PileOGunz

NFT was just data representing ownership. Of course it has real world association if the artist created it and agreed the nft represented ownership. Anyway the concept needed buy-in and perhaps legal grounding but it didn’t happen.

Coquito3000

it's going to be less than a cent soon. NFT is the most worthless idea in crypto history
