  4. I’m not going to spend money on NFTs but NFTs are going to be widely popular in the future for a whole range of uses. The first ever NFTs even though they are ridiculous, will have a certain cultural value. So there’s speculating going on. Also, it’s a great way to launder your crypto profits or profits from other nefarious means. Need to wash 50K? Create an NFT and put it up for auction, and use another account to bid on it and buy it off yourself. But there’s a first of it’s kind appeal to some investors. Everyone is laughing at it now but see what they’re worth in 2050 as the original first NFTs. The uniqueness will be a valuable attribute believe it or not.

  5. Can someone explain in layman’s terms what an nft is? Looks like just a shitty little drawing to me. How can they be worth money?

  10. NFT don’t really work on people with photographic memory. I myself have it but the sd card in me head is full.

  14. Everytime I have NFT explained to me it sounds like an obvious scam but because so many people are buying it, it makes me feel I’m missing something.

  15. This is easily the best explanation of what a load of absolute shit NFTs are. Just more crap so that rich people can show off how meaningless money is to them. I hope it blows up in their faces. Yes I’m very bitter, not about this specifically just in general and I choose to wear it like a suit of armour.

  24. Yeah these things are killing what potential NFTs have.

    Yes this form of NFTs are shallow cash grabs but they shouldn’t scare people out of the idea of what an NFT is.

    A non fungible token is something that was originally intended to tie to a product or piece of code. The items themselves aren’t the NFT but the receipt of ownership is. Like a deed to a house.

    The future of NFTs is exciting when combined with a block chain and crypto. Think about any digital game, song or app you purchased in the past. Then decided you didn’t want that anymore. The NFT gives you the ability to sell that digital product on to someone else.

    So all you gamers out there who crave the days of old were you can give or sell a physical game to a friend or family member or sell it to get some money back will be able to do that again once the platforms are launched. Gamestop are already looking at creating this and have a partnership with a company called loopring to develop a market place where this will be possible.

    So yeah. Avoid shallow cash grabs like this.
