I value this meme at eleventy billion and won't take a cent less

It's not even the picture, it's the promise you own a picture

Actually NFTs aren't even pictures xD

No they aren't NFTs are recipts. That is all they are. They can have a connection to images or physical goods but they only proove that you bought a recipt and not actual ownership.

Shes right an nft is a hallway to the picture. You don't even own to picture

You don't even buy the photo, you buy the hyperlink to the photo. In a sense, your buying the treasure map to gold, but you can't have the gold.

NFT'S

Stay in school, kids.

NFTs are just USED for pictures. They actually had potential to solve real world problems, but jetzt isch d Katz de Bååm nuff as we say in hohenlohe.

I personally view crypto and the crypto boom as an experiment in unfettered capitalism - it's still a new technology, the governments haven't caught up to it yet so no regulations, yet quite literally 99% of crypto usage was in trying to take advantage of others (scams) and speculation.

The only thing with actual value that came out of crypto was probably Monero, which allowed for completely anonymous payments, something that crypto, when paired with crypto exchanges, is bad at.

I was pretty shocked when I found out that NFT pictures aren't even stored in the block chain. NFTs are just records on the block chain with links to images stored on ordinary servers.

FWIW nobody who is actually knowledgeable about crypto ever thought anything positive about NFTs. It's all just wallstreetbets types who read one article and think they're economists now. The tech is interesting and has applications but monkey jpegs are what idiots spent millions on for some reason.

Physical money is just metal, plastic and paper.

The problem is the virtual value we give certain things.

Cryptobros incoming to tell us all the real-world problems blockchain's going to solve any day now in 3... 2...

They can't read because they burned their eyes.

Crypto Bros Losers would be really mad at reading that, if they weren't busy fellating the owners of BoredApes after they made them blind.

...

What? No, that's not a joke.

"Had a good time with the homies who also got their eyes burned". These people are unbelievably down there in the pathetic human scale.

"This comment is an NFT and if you screenshot this I will sue your ass without hesitation. Please paypal me 4500 USD if you would like this comment, and don't mess with me. I got my whole crypto gang on my side. We will fuck you up if you try stealing this comment, so don't fuck with us."

To be fair most art is just pictures (using the term picture loosely). That's not why the nft is dumb.

They're not even pictures. They're hyperlinks to pictures that may or may not even be there.

Famously, it's uncommon that your "NFT" ends up hyperlinking to a picture of a rug because the people running it know it's a scam.

NFT Bros 🤝 Twitter Artists

Seething about their jpegs being stolen

I think NFT's had some promise for stuff you actually have to own (not some ape pictures). Like a digital version for maybe an invitation or tickets or if done properly (by your countries government for example) maybe even for stuff like licenses (i.e. driving license, welding license etc.) Or identification (passport, id, etc.)

OP, I'll buy it for eleventy billion and one spiff coins.

eleventy billion

That's... not a number. Yet.

I think it defies the concept of property in its core.

The Mona Lisa is just a canvas with paint on it

Money is just small sheets of intricately designed paper or plastic. Imagine how easy it was to make counterfeits back in the days before all the technology came in
