      NFT's used to be stupid.

      They still are, but they used to be, too.

        The sad thing is the concept wasn’t.

        Selling NFTs with no physical existence is what is pointlessly stupid.

        Before they came along i considered the idea of a blockchain linked video camera where metadata of footage gets written into the chain to combat fake news and misinformation.

        The goal would be to create a proof and record of original footage, to which media publishers and people who share can link towards to verify authenticity/author.

        If the media later gets manipulated or reframed you would be able to verify this by comparing to the original record.

        It was never a finished idea but when i first read nft i thought this is the right direction.

        And then capitalism started selling apes and what the actual disgusting money possessed fuck was that.

            This is actually a pretty decent idea considering what's coming now with AI video. I have no idea if it could be implemented, or if media even cares anymore, but I sure would appreciate it.

              I actually would say it’s harder to say now.

              It was easy at first because it was obvious.

              But NFTs are still a thing… so even though it’s still a scam, it now makes you question humanity.

                The certificate/signature part seems okay for verification.

                It's the transferable virtual deeds being sold that are the scam. I could sell you a virtual deed to the Golden Gate Bridge right now, you could buy it but it doesn't really mean anything.

                          I remember reading a proposal how music artists could somehow use nfts as digital record keeping so when digital tickets are resold they could get a percentage of the sale each time it was resold. Making more money for artists and disinsentivising resale but you know ticket places would never let it happen. I'm sure you could do it without nfts but it seemed like a really great idea.

                            It's so funny looking back at it (though it was funny while it was happening too), these new-flavor cryptobros tried so hard to convince themselves that they were in the right, they made "cartoons," games, I think they even planned like an island resort or something around their monkey pictures.

                                I initially thought they were like numbered art prints, with a more robust way of guaranteeing authenticity.

                                      The virtual deeds would be great for game licences and trading second hand games online

                                          Fifa is pretty fucked up and behind the times. I am not surprised.
