NFTS can have multiple units. They'd generally be serialized in that instance.
As much as I don't see the value in NFTs, I do not really get the hatred of them either. Sure they are dumb, and probably a stupid waste of money... but I view most expensive art purchases the same way (and yes, you can get reprints cheaper in the art world too).
I don't understand it. I'll even go so far as to say it's dumb IMO. But the level of hatred here seems somewhat over the top.
NFTs aren't mined, so they didn't steal your gpu... so why?
It just solidifies the idea that money is the only thing we care about nowadays. The NFT is such a blatant, shameless scam, its such a total waste of time, energy and intelligence altogether that it just should not exist. But somehow in a twisted crypto reality of speculative goods the NFT is actually
marketable because the human species has devolved so far into stupid already.
That's it. NFTs represent a level of idiocy ingrained in our species and proven by the blockchain so its a non-fungible fact even. And the fact all those companies fall in line just underlines we're all sheep in the very same way. Economy leads, humanity follows like a Lemming. Right off the cliff. 'Look, they're all going that way, surely that's the right way!'
And note, there is a younger generation now that knows no better than this. This is reality. Digital goods that represent value, whatever value means in a digital world. Good luck, next generations. The new drug is just 'buying' these days. Pissing away hundreds of bucks a month on skins and cosmetics was already becoming the norm there, remember. Now they even became non fungible! OMG. That's better, isn't it?!
I don't either, I heard about this NFT thing from my bro a few months ago and I was confused as hell.
Like why the heck would I do that, thats some next level dumb way to waste money.
Really sometimes I just don't understand/get whats going on this world/humanity thats apparently a thing or
'followed/done' by many and I'm sitting here scratching my head if its just me being old school or what.
'I'm not even old'
Its called being disconnected from reality for too long, realizing it because everytime you go outside, it 'feels unsafe' and then you dive back into your comfort zone and never get out of it again. Why do you think we're cultivating snowflake society lately? Its what people legitimately
want because 'it feels better'. For two years, people have been living online.
And then, you find all sorts of similar people online and social media does the rest. Its the same thing as a Trump or Bolsonaro just straight up ignoring the very systems they want to control, to win. Its a complete disconnect and enough of a cult following 'will make it so'. After all, democracy eh.
You don't need to be right, you just need enough people to think you are. Consider the fact that younger people may have well enjoyed a lower quality education, too. As the divide between poor and rich widens, so too does the access to education. So we breed stupid and stupid topples sane and informed.
And there is another element, too. Fear Uncertainty Doubt. Algorithms play into that too, I reckon a lot of the 'noise' we hear is just overinflated and you hear the same 5% every time, while 95% thinks its nonsense. But we're humans and susceptible to peer pressure. If we
think its better to join the crowd to survive, we just might, no matter how crazy the idea.
I hate to bring up the analogy, but a good 75 years ago, people in Germany were following a similar road to World War 2. Facts were irrelevant: just believe there is a common enemy and you can change the world. Remember. 'Wir haben es nicht gewusst'. Lessons are learned and... forgotten.
