NFTS

The only decent use case I heard of for NFTS were money laundering

People finally understood NFTS are a scam

The president of the United States, with a history of shilling every useless piece of memorabilia including shoes, trading cards, NFTS, physical coins etc launching a useless altcoin to profit for himself clearly had nothing to do with the shark jumping of crypto. He was so correct when he said he could shoot someone on 5th avenue and not lose a single supporter.

NFTS, before NFTs

joncaseydraws

The larger financial market has roundly rejected Alt coins and NFTS. Most people who bought alt coins will lose money, 99% of them lose 90% of their value. I’m still holding a few from 2021 that never recovered. If you still have 50% or more consider selling. Otherwise hold for 4 years minimum and one of them might pay for the rest, but you probably didn’t pick the 1% that will gain in value over time. Buy btc.

Remember web3 😂 Remember NFTS?😂 Remember that world computer? 😂😂😂

worldtraveller321

yes it seems the majority just go into crypto for investment more less to get rich fast and buy things like NFTS and meme coins, which are all controlled and centralized, but all well.

It’s the most well known layer 1, it has an established history with NFTS, DAOS etc.

A big part of the issue is the SEC doesn’t have clear guidelines and regulations at all - utility-based projects like XRP / ALGO / ADA / SOL / SUI / LINK all benefit from rules - it seems like they are looking towards different categorisations as well (memes / NFTS as collectibles) companies like tether have had a free pass, even though they can't pass an audit - SEC did nothing to stop FTX crash… XRP was ruled not a security by a federal judge, and this part of the case is not being challenged. Choke point II involved debunking projects related to crypto and trying to freeze them, or the case against Coinbase Better and clearer regulations mean governments/institutions/banks can buy in with better safeguards…. The US is woefully behind the rest of the world when it comes to digital payments and crypto regulations (look at MICA… Tether was delisted in Europe because it’s not up to code)… one of my friends who works high up in a vast US-based tech company was telling me when they visited that the pay system here in Australia is more advanced - banks in the Philippines are even working with HBAR to trial new technology (as it’s cheaper to do trial tests there than in the US)

Hey so I'm thinking of starting personal discord on my page with a lot of friends and crypto fanatics I've met in person I'm seriously going to keep it to a small known group and not hand it out to a ton of people who I don't know but it's going to be chatting and convo on our own investments and what we think just a discussion forum if you will with authentic people . Your post has got me in my feels as to how real and similar of my run at the market has been this 6 months . It's finally a time in my life I refused to not understand and I'm getting it finally . So from this point on I think I should be consulted, consuming advice , researching everything , recording , and surround myself with the people I want to allocate my knows and my question with . I'm gonna DM you a few contact places if your into that add me or HMU and when I create the group for the new year we can all get to finish this bull run together jank around the bear market and become well versed and diverse become great friends and partners in an attempt to become as prepared as possible! And in 5 years time out group will enter the bull run of 2030 with an absolute abundance of quality info and insight and be able to baby some underlings as lost as us and actually be able to make some saucy moves . IVE COME AS FAR AS A NAME AND A SLOGAN Ive lost I've gained I've been invited I've paid I've entered I've stayed I've cursed I've prayed Hold it sold it Promise nothing But the name FRIENDS AND ALLOCATED A GROUP OF FUN IDIOTS WERE NOT BOTS WERE NOT FINANCIAL ADVISORS ADVICE WONT COST YOU MILLIONS CASTED INTO THE DEEP THE COLD PLUNGE TO SEA INVEST WHAT WE KNOW WE BELEIVE IN A REASON TO SHOW YOU DUE DILLIGENCE COINS TOKENS AND NFTS WE ARE THE CRYPTO-APHILIATES

I think NFT's will be back in around 30 years or so, when the so called metaverse or anything similar functions as good as online gamming now, my thougths is that the NFT's that where made for gamming will be addapted from the 2d models to a 3d full rendered model easily with an AI tool and then this NFT\`s will be the new user names or ID's in the metaverse, also maybe collectable items, but I dont think their value will ever be as high as in the begining, maybe some will be more appreciated becasue they are vintage NFTS or some thing like that.

APE was not really that successful. I just don't see a reason for Crypto tokens for NFTS. But that probably means it will indeed go parabolic.

You can spend all day shilling a garbage project that hasn't had a green 48 hours in 6 months , therefore I can also warn people not to buy some that has done nothing but lose value in 6 months. I understand it very well. The dev has done nothing but make stupid ass moves and benefit from the work of his community. Ethereum has picked up 40+% in the past 6 weeks. The United States elected a pro crypto president. An endless list of other things have already happened that your dev used as an excuse for why Kendu isn't making a comeback yet. Sooo, let's say this is a retraction, consolidation or whatever other excuses the community makes. How long will it continue? You've chased away all of your whales so how exactly are you going to recover 250 million in market cap? Maybe it'll be NFTs? I seemed to remember that it dumped massively within hours when the NFTS were announced Go ahead, give me the list of things coming soon and I'll give you a list of things that were already done and have done nothing for the price.

Check my post history to see what I've been saying. This moron dev had embarrassed himself and the community at multiple points along with the way. Good luck EVER asking a question or offering any constructive criticism or feedback to that community. You'll be labeled a moron, a jeet or whatever other dumb ass name that community has made up. All the whales who have been selling for months are simply labeled morons cuz that's easier than maybe asking some real questions about what's going on. Here's just a few things: - Literally begging Binance to list them by saying "we have a million dollars for you" like binance will be impressed by a million dollars and begging social media posts. - literally tore apart the relationship with Shiba Inu (which is mostly what helped the coin pump to 280 mill) because the dev decided to act all important and talk shit about them. Sure, why would you need the friendship of a top 3 meme coin in the market. - the idiot dev CONSISTENTLY shits on other successful projects and disrespects the crypto world and their coins. By his own admission, he has rejected partnerships from other coins and then shit on them on this own spaces because he disliked the business offers he received. Maybe shut the fuck up and realize this is part of the game. Take the deal or don't but don't air out dirty laundry and make enemies. - endless promises of incredible innovation and growth, only for that end up being shitty NFTS and that announcement dumped their MC by 80 mill. -Kendu Cash has been promoted for months and he finally admitted that it's not possible. - secret, earth shaking partnership with crypto people have been promised for months and NOTHING. At this point, the coin is consistently pump and dumped by about 10-15 million dollars in MC, between 40 and 60 mill. Once you get into that pattern as a meme coin, good luck escaping. The community's "hard work" is no longer even doing anything positive because you really can't convince people to buy a project that has had absolutely zero upward mobility in nearly 4 months. It's lost close to 85% of it's ATH while the entire crypto world and stock market is blowing up.

On the contrary - now the largest holders will never be replaced the way miners are (who are impotent to change the ptotocol anyway). Miners are in an arms race.

The SEC lawsuits undermined the legitimacy of the SEC more than than the crypto market. The SEC has been more on the losing end here. And many experts in this, and even people within the SEC have questioned those lawsuits. And even judges have countered some of the key claims of the lawsuits. NFTs have a legitimate utility for ticketing and many other things. You are probably only thinking of collectible JPG NFTS. You are also missing more of the positives. Adoption, remittance, merchants accepting crypto, and people using it to buy goods have all been increasing. Business use of crypto, smart contract, and blockchain, hasn't just increased, it's been exploding in recent years. We now have major financial institutions, major politicians, ETFs, and even governments not just warming up to crypto, but admitting it's a technology with merit that's here stay. And they've increasingly been jumping on crypto.

NFTS are BS. Games are for kids.

> I wonder how looks for non-crypto people We were dunking on them even when they were "cool". So, when the NFT market crashed, pretty much everyone was like "Yeah, saw that coming". The only people who didn't were either lost in the sauce or desperately trying to keep the value alive through hype so they could sell to someone else who was lost in the sauce. It was like baseball and pokemon cards but stupider. I mean, at least with pokemon cards you could see someone buying them because they like pokemon and want to try the card version. At least with baseball cards I can see someone buying them because they like the baseball players printed on the cards. Who the hell wants to look at a bored ape, a stoner cat, a crypto punk, or any other thing associated with NFTS? They are UGLY. And not even ugly in a unique way. Ugly in a way all bad meme art is. And here I am, supposed to believe that this bad meme art is somehow worth thousands of dollars or billions of ferglcoins or whatever.

DrPechanko

I don't know about panicking, I just think things got REAL boring REAL quick. Metaverse seems dead as a doornail; blockchain based initiatives (election voting on chain, food supply chains, medical records) all great ideas, but not being implemented; NFTS, we don't even need to get started on that failure; crypto as a payment system, CEX's still rule, selling your crypto for cash is what people are doing (even if they use crypto based debit cards); DEFI has been a mess of scams and rugpulls; meme mania has turned social media into a shill factory and gambling den. What is left? Wait for BTC to go up and pull ALTCOINS and their respective ecosystems up so we can get the F out of this mess, right. Praying for a 3X on Cardano? Crypto is not a long term game (long term is 10 years), crypto is a follow the hype train on cycles, get the F out, realize profit, buy back in, rinse and repeat game. Anyone who held Polkadot for the long game realized this the hard way, how about COSMOS, XRP anyone? You can either make money, or hold paper gains up and down like a moron watching your portfolio erase and print. Long-term investments are ETFS....."boring" stocks, surefire companies that will be around forever. Not space coins. Suffer through the boredom, and get out when BTC goes and the market follows....rinse and repeat. Don't hold long term staring at the portfolio on your phone doing nothing. RUN, then come back when it's cheap, then RUN again.

RicoBelled

"NFTs are fundamentally creative goods: art, collectibles, video game items, domain names, event tickets, and more." you say. Are you serious? Even Tickets are "creative" goods? I think your phrase shows EXACTLY why putting ALL NFTS in one category misses the boat. I bet the SEC, and mind you, I'm not happy about it or supporting it, sees NFTs which give membership to a DAO, or ones that give returns as securities, and they do have a point there.

Shiratori-3

It does feel a bit that way. And they do seem to be throwing a bunch of stuff out at the moment against all parts of ecosystem - wallets, defi, NFTS, etc, which I think everyone knew were on the list as part of the broader clampdown push. There's the international monitoring and tax stuff starting to happen ATM as well - which was flagged in the Whitehouse fact sheet on crypto etc the other year. Wonder if there's a dual timing element as well - there's only so much window before the elections, and iirc (unchecked suspicion) this isn't the first time that SEC have used the September market slump to make various pursuits public - they usually tend to coordinate and be quite deliberate about timings.

Mindless_Penalty_419

Learn what you’re doing, invest in micro caps, take profits, chill. Then stack legit currencies like Solana. NFTS are profitable too if you know what you’re doing. Wait till the market is red and dipped to buy. Even if we go up constantly. There’s always a pullback.

Hate to say that, but I bought Reddit Avatars and sold them when everybody here thought they will go to the moon. Same with Trump NFTS. Then I bought ETH and BTC and now that's a lot of money. And a lot of taxes unfortunately.

Humans_r_evil

not sure about ALL of crypto, but yea most of them will never hit their ATH again. however, I gotta say that ALL NFTS will never come close to their ATH's. I never saw any value in NFT's so never participated.

Well said! This past month the chart hasn't been as hot, folks got nervous about NFTS and ETH also dropped almost 1/4. The market is looking better now with a rate cut incoming, good job reports, the ETH ETFs are pumping, the new hot coins are about to fade away, and dev is back from a small vacation and is cooking away. I see a very bright future for kendu up ahead.

Finally I can tell people about this, now free from the NDA. I got one of the pre-production units for testing and can confirm that they work great. I’m not paid by Ledger or the sub, i do get to keep the unit they sent me (I tried sending it back but they wouldn’t take it). I was able to easily go about my regular day carrying my Ledger around in complete secrecy, I walked around in the dangerous parts of the city and was robbed twice but both times they only took my dirty fiat money while my collection of Reddit NFTS and Moons remaind perfectly safe stored in the moon rocket. I can fully recommend this product, it works great. I did have an issue when I tried to board a plane with it, got pretty awkward but to be fair it did say not TSA approved on the packaging so it was probably my fault

I think NFTS with passive income could still be game changers. I think r/thenewsbruh are doing something very unique and exciting and with such a small project it could easily be a life changing gains soon.

NFTS need some sort of usercase. I like what the team over at r/thenewsbruh are doing where their nft gives a passive income. Why people were buying rocks was weird

Most games nowadays have randomized lootboxes. Just like NFTS, it uses a random number generator.

Yea, on a technical level, NFTS are neat! Trading a bunch of poorly draw ape cartoons for absurd price speculation isn't a good showcase of what could be done with them.

I've got an issue with Solflare wallet where it doesn't load any assets / balances. The main screen which shows assets and balances just get stuck in infinite loading. I've tried to import wallet on another device with clean install of Solflare and the same thing happens. I can see transactions under "activites" tab though. I can use Phantom to interact with my wallet no issues. The issue I have with Phantom though is that it show Wormhole tokens as NFTS and not as tokens under assets. Anyone else had the same issue with Solflare?

First thing you should know is that most "hacks" where people lose there money in crypto are because of user error. Probably the one that I see pop up the most is that someone has signed a transaction on a website and it is a scam website. Say you want to get involved with the hot new game guild of guardians. You type that into google and click on the first website. It all looks legit so you buy some nice NFTS. But you don't get any nfts because you just paid for them on the website guild of guardiens. Maybe you don't know much about crypto so you think oh well. But you just signed a transaction that gives somebody the ability to drain your whole wallet of any coin. Hope you didn't have 20k in there. You need to revoke any approvals quick. Maybe nothing happens because the "hacker" wants to wait until you have more money in your wallet before they drain it. And even if you revoke the approvals in your wallet, can you trust the website you used to revoke approvals? You have to connect your wallet to their website to revoke approvals after all. Since your a noob can you even trust if your phone is safe now? Better put your wallet in a new untainted device. You put your key phrase into a website to reboot your wallet... and it's gone. You just got done by the second most common "hack" I see pop up here. Putting your keyphrase somewhere you shouldn't have. Gotta be careful with that one buddy, hope you didn't have 20k in there. That's like one thing that can happen pretty easily. Have fun.

It's a complete shitcoin with no utility(yes, like most coins in the space). They released more products - which are different tokens or NFTS. So, if you're a shib bagholder, their solution for you was - hey buy these totally different coins, they're gonna make you money.

Idk I bought algo at $2.09 and im still holding that POS. So probably forever? but but, we have “Afghan Pay”! FIFA NFTS!! “Drone Racing!!”, a sticker on a F1 car!! Who tf in the Middle East would ever consider a digital currency let alone a shitcoin for all their transactions lmfao The CEO spent the budget on her bike club lmfao, algo sucks so bad. Even as a bag holder I don’t care it’s a shitcoin and I hate it.

>nobody wants to develop on cardano False. There are dozens of projects and products being developed and launched. How do you say that there's no development when Defilama lists 30 of them? >nobody uses hydra That's because hydra is something that needs to be run by a project to use it. It's not a L1 solution that can just be added. Projects need to launched and run a hydra head. It's not happening. >eUTXO is notable bad It's simply not because it allows you to do nuanced things that other chains do not to. Transaction splitting, with multiple inputs and outputs for example. Recently a marketplace launched that lets you both loan against an NFT while also listing the NFT for sale simultaneously. Sounds like you just have a poor understanding >Scaling You suddenly changed from Inability to scale to "maybe those will do some difference". Newsflash. NO CHAIN CAN SCALE. ETH gets too expensive, Solana crashes, other chains get drug down and lag, or stop minting blocks. Cardano has been scaling, it continues to scale, and there are L2 solutions coming this year. >Still without a usable product for defi Again, a flat out lie. Easily the most provably false point you've made so far Can you not go to Liqwid, Lenfi, and Levvy to get Loans? Can you not mint and burn stablecoins with COTI? Can you not take on collateralized debt positions with Indigo, minting and burning synthetics? Can you not engage private transactions with Encoins? Can you not yield farm on like 7 different Dexs? Can you not get liquidity bonds on Optim? (and then you can take those bonds and lend against them on liqwid) Can you not Implement automated trading strategies like a box spread on AXO? Can you not DCA and split transactions on Dexhunter (as well as aggregate all cardano DEXs)? Can you not rent NFTs, loan against NFTS, against tokens, borrow staking delegation on fluid? I could keep going. The bottom line is you're full of shit and have no idea what you're talking about.

Detailed explanation below but for the LAY MAN like myself: Alright, picture the pair that gets gets created when making a SUDO or NFTX pool. You are infusing LIQUIDITY into NFTS, and creating a liquid market. It's ERC-20 wrapping NFTs Now picture that baked into a contract but better. It's BOTH a ERC-721 AND an ERC-20. 🛎More factoids below:🛎 You can transact these on UNISWAP like a token, OR on NFT platforms like an NFT! Any action on chain affects the other side of the machine. Token side, nft side. The price of the token is the floor price of the NFT When BUYING the TOKEN, it mints random unique nfts into your wallet for each 1 token held. Fractions simply don't mint 1 into your wallet. When SELLING the TOKEN, it burns the NFT, they can be reminted later with a higher serial number when it's bought later When BUYING, SELLING, or TRANSFERRING the *NFT*, it KEEPS its unique traits, allowing you to hold them dear, to trade their BEAUTY and SPLENDOR for MORE! If you understand the explanation, you can see why it could be quite promising🧠 The LATEST iteration is #DN404 and is being utilized by our Sprotolady devs to be ahead of the game! Now, SPROTOS are among FIRST MOVERS on this new tech. I love to see it! Naysayers hold your breath, for the Egregore is in its vision. Good luck to the @Sprotolady team on this expedition into the unknown! 💚👽💚 CA: 0x46305B2eBcd92809d5fcEf577C20C28A185Af03c

I love cardano. It has all the functionality of ethereum but is cheap enough that I can own thousands of them. I absolutely love making cardano NFT's. I think the huge hype/bubble surrounding NFTs really set the medium back because the general public thinks "A failed money making scheme" when you mention NFTS. But in my opinion from an artistic standpoint I think nft's have limitless potential. Artisically I have a few ideas for NFT's but I'd never be able to afford the amount of ethereum I'd need to complete some of the projects. With Cardano Nft's I can make tons without having to make a huge initial investment.

Another scam and failed idea being brought back up. Also why would anyone want fractional NFTS the market is dead as it is. Useless jpgs.

If NFT’s gave any real ownership I would be all for it!  But they dont. The only “Ownership” an NFT gives you is the ability to resell (which you do not NEED NFTS to do). You cant modify. You cant destroy. You cant use for anything but the intended purpose. You cant use in other media that you produce. (Strictly speaking you could use the NFT but not the thing represented by it like a skin). The game company CAN disable the thing represented by your nft.  People selling NFTs are selling you the idea of ownership. Not actual ownership.

I am a financial advisor in the traditional market, when I advise my clients the first thing I want to find out from my customer is his willingness to take thing. Depending on the risk class, a decision is made as to whether the money is invested in a riskier investment such as a pure equity fund or in a more conservative asset class such as a fixed-term deposit. This can also be broken down to the crypto market. In your case, Bitcoin is the most conservative investment option. Things get riskier with altcoins. The lower the market capitalization, the higher the volatility, although volatility is high in the crypto sector anyway. Personally, I would invest 80% more conservatively. About 50% in Bitcoin and 30% in Ethereum, the rest would go widely in altcoins that have a promising concept. For the current bull run, I would focus on projects on the Solana blockchain, as I personally assume that these will play a major role in the next bull run. Furthermore, I would position myself with a small part in the direction of NFTS because I believe that NFTS are the only way to distinguish real videos from AI-generated videos in the future. Don't invest the entire amount at once, buy little by little to take advantage of the DCA and slowly get a feel for the crypto market. Just my opinion, no advise :) Greetings from Germany

Awesome, awesome awesome. Keep us updated. I only play with shit coins and have learnt a lot. Made a bit of money on the last run. Just to put it all in to NFTS and im planning on swapping my alts for btc and fiat this time round.

Unfortunately yes. I also lucked into the Arbitrum airdrop which was more than $1000 while I basically just did a few transactions with moons. That got me into airdrop farming... unfortunately the more recent airdrops are absolutely farming their users. It's not even to just do a few transactions anymore. You now have to do a shitload of tasks and always be on top of new tasks + NFTS (proof of participation) that are being put up. And since more people are involved, your portion of the prize pool becomes less. For example... something like ZkSync might end up being a 2-3x bigger airdrop than Arbitrum. However if 20-30x more people are farming the airdrop, it means that airdrop is getting diluted 20-30x more than the Arbitrum airdrop, meaning your slice of the pie is smaller. This has been the reality for most airdrops lately since they have become much more mainstream. Wish we were in the game earlier :(. One of the many things I wish /cc had taught me long ago, which it didn't.

Pay to participate? NFTs in crypto gaming is speculative. NFTS are rarely utilized for their benefits as a non-fungal token.

That's helpful. I know that wrapping NFTS nullifies royalty schemes too.

socalmikester

no money in NFTS, magic beans, or anything. just here to watch the cargo cult do their stonk market chat, waiting for MOASS because line goes up?

Check out HODL. They are the longest operating rewards crypto in the space. They have a dex Hodlx.exchange, they have NFTS, yield farming, staking, play to earn gaming, betting games, an app already in Google playstore for Android, LOCKED liquidity for over 255 years, 3 million dollar market cap, over 400k in liquidity.... doxxed team, owned by legitimate crypto technology company, perfectly positioned to moon https://hodltoken.net/

You can say the same for NFTs, I truly was invested with the concept of NFTS regarding to games. The fact a company can shutdown servers making you lose the items you gathered, invalidating the key of the game you bought never sat right with me. Look at Ubisoft, EA. But it became Art and well... now NFTs are a meme even though many consumers involved in the gaming company continue to rant about the corruption within the industry.

When each property is linked to a token which is turn can be link to biometric data or some kind of secure access, then, property can be moved, traced, and people can offer money for the property without accessing the identity of the owner. This database, through the use of blockchain, would be far more secure than any database we have right now. > > In France, some properties are lost because people can reach the person who is supposed to inherit the property. With a smart system associated to a blockchain, upon the death of anyone, their account would send a smart contract to the owner of the blockchain (the government) which would apply the will of the deceased.

This system is antiquated and blockchain technology promises to crush these companies as soon as blockchain adoption will hit the sector (It is starting to see the light of day through companies and start up).

The fact that all transactions are done in a money which is not exchangeable in fiat means that this system would be a closed system.

I would disagree, we saw downtime this year from other l1s and l2s, and many blockchains including btc and eth had bugs that were resolved, only luck caught them before anything serious (eth arguably had eth dao hack and eth classic issue also which is different but serious imho) If you think technology and dependability of new tech won't improve over time, you're going to have a bad time. With work at firedancer going towards improving all of crypto, not just Solana, I would say uptime won't be an issue after two fully independent validator clients (downtime in february was bug in validator client software fyi, so would be resolved as having one as fallback) But any scaling issues, we saw Mad Lads, one of the most popular NFT mints of any blockchain happen while Helium was moving their whole L1 infrascture and 100k+ hotspots as NFTS at the same time, no chain slowdown or issues. Show me another chain that does that without getting expensive or slow, or not working in general. Solana is smooth as butter. If you can't provide a better source to measure decentralization, then we're going to have a hard time debating the hard data. I presented data. So you're also conflating things together here, Solana Labs has a CEO, that's a for profit company. Solana Foundation also has a CEO. Both have "headquarters" somewhere, which I assume you mean "offices" That seems standard for any blockchain. Yes tokenomics could be better, but premine doesn't really make sense here, and it's diversified over time as more people use it, and we are now seeing the biggest whale (SBF/FTX) liquidated and being distributed out to repay due to their fraud. This is all good for Solana imho. You're talking about two different things now, holding assets vs using them to transact. Most will likely want to transact in stablecoins like USDC from what I'm seeing in the data. Holding assets is a different game, but if you look at inflows, Solana did more than eth recently - [https://www.theblock.co/post/263805/crypto-funds-inflow-streak-continues-adds-176-million-led-by-bitcoin-solana](https://www.theblock.co/post/263805/crypto-funds-inflow-streak-continues-adds-176-million-led-by-bitcoin-solana)

I apologize, that came off more hostile than I attended. I believe you are right that a **SIGNIFICANT** portion of the people in the crypto space are here only because "NuMbEr gO Up", but I disagree that most people are, or at least people actually are building/working in this space. However I think you are right that at least the people that buy 100k PFP NFTS are buying it only because "NuMbEr gO Up"

#NFT Pro-Arguments Below is a NFT pro-argument written by Blendzi0r. > First published on: [30.11.2021](https://np.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/pfonjt/rcc_cointest_general_concepts_nft_proarguments/hmpq1xo/) > > Last edited on: 23.02.2022 > > NFTs, Non-Fungible Tokens, are tokens that have unique hash IDs. This makes it possible to always indicate the original one even if there are countless NFTs that look exactly the same. > > Think of it this way: you have two exactly the same copies of George Orwiell’s “1984”. But one of them is signed by the author. This makes the book with the signature worth much more than the other one. And it makes it non-fungible in a way: the signature is unique ergo the book is unique (or at least unique compared to all the books which weren’t signed by the author). But signatures can be faked, you might say. True, but it’s impossible to fake “signatures” on blockchain: blockchain stores all the data about minted (created) NFTs and this data cannot be altered. Therefore, **NFTs are an incredibly reliable tool when it comes to verifying ownership and legitimacy of various assets**, e.g. land, pieces of art, licenses, certificates and so on. > > In the case of blockchains like Ethereum, which are decentralized and well-established, you can be sure that [NFTs that you create on such blockchains are secure](https://www.artshub.com.au\/news/opinions-analysis/nfts-the-pros-and-cons-262268-2370580/) and no one can remove or modify them. > > What’s more, [NFTs can have their own smart contracts](https://medium.com/lansaar/nfts-and-smart-contracts-6c4c5516d5a0). You can e.g. add a smart contract for royalties – each time your NFT is sold/used, you will receive a royalty payment that you set beforehand yourself. And, again, the fact that **everything is visible on blockchain** makes it very transparent for any transacting party – everyone can take a look at/inspect the smart contract. An no one can alter it without your consent. > > NFTS can also be used for storing important data. Not only is the data safe on the blockchain from physical damage, but it also cannot be secretly modified since every change is recorded forever on the blockchain. > > Another interesting use-case for NFTs is **ticketing**. Any party organizing events can use NFTs to sell tickets that will be easily verifiable and impossible to fake. NFTs also eliminate the need of using third-party services, like e.g. Ticketmaster, and help to avoid paying high fees. > > NFTs suffer bad publicity due to bad actors (sometimes literally bad actors – looking at you, John Cena and Lindsay Lohan) who take advantage of the NFT hype, but in reality they are a very useful application of blockchain. ***** Would you like to learn more?

#NFT Pro-Arguments Below is a NFT pro-argument written by Nostalg33k. > # NFT, the tech that will change the world. > > ​ > > Welcome to this small presentation that will try to explain how NFT is a world changing technology. First of all, I won't discuss the application for the art world because I can't fathom writing an argument trying to defend absurdities and JPEG worth millions. If you want to read my take on this trend, read my con-argument (if I write one). > > ​ > > NFT technology promises to be game changing for multiple reasons. We are going to tackle three main aspects of NFT. The first will be IP and property related. The second will be about exchangeable virtual assets. And the last will be about virtual ID, and administrative documents. > > ​ > > # NFTs and property: the future of property management. > > This argument is an attempt to show how the use-cases of NFTs can improve the world. I don't know if a company is doing what I suggest and I don't have the ability to sell this idea or whatever so you can grab it and develop it. This is clearly what will happen and everyone should be preparing for it: The great migration of property management. > > ​ > > Nowadays, to find who owns which property you need to search for it on a database, often parts of these databases are not online and you need to go to the Town hall or Town archives to find outdated data about someone who died and then search for eventual kids. Lost property through time and administrative black holes are a pain to manage and are often stopping project or not allowing people to get paid when they get expropriated because of some public works. > > Blockchain through the use of NFT can solve this problem. When each property is linked to a token which is turn can be link to biometric data or some kind of secure access, then, property can be moved, traced, and people can offer money for the property without accessing the identity of the owner. This database, through the use of blockchain, would be far more secure than any database we have right now. > > In France, some properties are lost because people can reach the person who is supposed to inherit the property. With a smart system associated to a blockchain, upon the death of anyone, their account would send a smart contract to the owner of the blockchain (the government) which would apply the will of the deceased. The NFTs would then be sent to the next of kin or to the persons supposed to get them. > > Of course, some property would still end up managed by the state if the person doesn't connect to their online space or doesn't connect to any public services. This system is not a question of If but a question of when. This is what NFTs put on the table for classic properties. > > ​ > > For Intellectual properties, right now there are multiple companies which are renewing the intellectual properties for their client in multiple countries. This system is antiquated and blockchain technology promises to crush these companies as soon as blockchain adoption will hit the sector (It is starting to see the light of day through companies and start up). The renewing of the IPs would simply become a smart contract and the payment would be fees in a stablecoin. This would allow a simplification of the whole industry and through the emergence of a global standard, to know which companies can use which IP. > > ​ > > Nfts will also change the entertainment industry through virtual assets. Let's dig in how it can be an opportunity for both consumers and companies. > > # Imagine League of Legend with a secondary market, Renting skins, Selling skins, Exchanging Skins and other cosmetics. > > Nft games tend to be predatory but they don't need to. We need to start to see NFTs as an opportunity to have control on our virtual assets. These assets don't need to be scarce to have value and a secondary market is not a net loss for a company. Let's dig in. This whole part will take League of Legend as an example. You can apply the same thoughts to games with a similar monetization. > > Right now Riot games sells their new skins and then the hype fades and another line of skin is sold. Most skins have fixed prices and unless a temporary promo, they don't tend to change their price point. With a secondary market, Riot could capitalize on the hype cycle by monetizing the perceived value of old skins while collecting data on good pricing for their promos. > > By allowing people to Rent and sell or exchange skins from one another, with a proportional or flat fee paid to riot for maintaining the blockchain and for their profit margins, people would be able to buy the skins they want from people who don't use them anymore. The fact that all transactions are done in a money which is not exchangeable in fiat means that this system would be a closed system. This new service would just mean more use for riot points which could in turn translate to more profits. > > This is a good application of NFTs and we can even imagine a successful implementation while using real crypto-currencies or fiat. > > NFTs allows these properties to be secured and exchanged by smart contracts and, through a good security, to never be lost. > > ​ > > # The biggest change: Data management in governing authorities. > > Lastly, NFTs promise to revolutionize the way countries are managing their data. Just like the management of properties, governmental databases are often old, incomplete and not numerized. The opportunity for NFT technology is enormous. Anyone through their biometrics or other secure way could access all the data collected about them by the state and get a copy of any document any time. The government, when needed, could also find data points about people in a dynamic way. You need data about people aged 50 or more who were born in a state and worked in a specific sector => easy peasy. > > ​ > > The NFT aspect of the tool would be that all the documents would appear in your data wallet and that you could control through smart contracts who gets them. For example, you need an ID to rent some place, just connect to your wallet and send a copy to your landlord. This copy would be a token which would disappear when the landlord would confirm your identity to complete your file or after some time. > > ​ > > The uses and practicality are infinite. > > ​ > > # Conclusion: Nfts are not JPEG, they are a disruptive technology and promise to allow users to simplify their daily lives. > > Through this small argument, I have presented how NFTs are promising to change our world for the better.
