I don't know if you follow Foamy the Squirrel and JMathers at IllWillPress, the guy is hysterical. Anyway his twitch channel Wednesday he went off about the same thing, how NFTs are just pictures of things but not the copyrighted or trademarked product and how some idiots out there may feel like they actually own the copyrighted product.The newest example of the NFT scam - Julian Lennon is selling NFT's of memorabilia of his father, John Lennon, including "an audio-visual presentation of his 3x Gibson guitars, and handwritten notes for Hey Jude" - and then keeping the actual physical items in question...
Anyone here want to buy an NFT of a photo of a couple of 2TB SSD's for £99? I'll keep the drives of course, but think how special you'll get to feel being the only person on the planet to own this particular photocopy of a non legally binding receipt of a photograph of something someone else continues to own!![]()

Same. I still struggle to understand crypto, but this NFT thing is totally over me. Also, what the hell is a metaverse?I literally do not understand anything from this article. Yeah, NFT's are not for my brain.
"Metaverse" is the latest dumb marketing phrase that means "We took the phrase that Neal Stephenson coined in his 1992 novel 'Snow Crash' to originally mean 'A meeting place using VR', and are now randomly trying to merge it with completely unrelated blockchain based technology for no logical reason whatsoever, and are throwing the label around like confetti in every article on crypto-currency based technology in order to appear hip & trendy 30 years later..."Same.

So someone scammed people willing to invest 1M dollars in a minecraft NFT "game", and you are... surprised? Mad? Blaming the tech that I don't even see how it is linked to a "game?" This could've been anticipated by anyone with half a brain.![]()
Unofficial Minecraft NFT game 'Blockverse' disappears with more than $1M
The project creators resurfaced to say they didn't really pull the rug, but the project itself, and the money, are still gone.www.pcgamer.com
I wish you were wrong.You could do the same thing. Eg, if you started practising saying stupid sh*t like "I, Auswolf, hereby declare that Ultrawide monitors and Travellers Cheques should be merged and called OMNIVERSE! pls like me for my trendiness", you'll be a Tech Journalist (tm) in no time!

I'd say just don't invest in NFTs. But why on earth hate those using them in a normal context?
I wish you were wrong.

I mean, does the government do away with the dollar because the scams run on it? Because that's about how linked they are.for the same reason government has watchdogs in place to protect citizens from many various scams. unless you wish to do away with everything like a libertarian...

Not inherently. And that's my only point. Scams are scams. Crypto and NFTs are only a medium. The dollar bill is popular for scams too.NFT's and crypto are both scams

Opioid epidemic in the United States - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
Took their sweet time then.
And its no different in EU. Shit happens and gov will only step in if its too big to ignore - a completely abstract idea. Its too big if too many people make noise... specific people even. Those with finance and brain to even make a move.
This whole dynamic is older than crypto, its as old as trading land away from indians, and older, and unrelated to the means used to scam with.
The real question is are you informed and/or sane enough to avoid them.

I like it how people believe that somehow governments are there to make things better for them.
If anything, governments in their current form are the natural evolution of the distribution of power among people, and nothing else. They exist only to make the powerful even more powerful.
People should really understand that them alone are the only ones who can do something. Writing to your senators and reps? Haha, you only make them laugh.

NFT emerged because of the blockchain technologies on which they 'live'.
Do you not understand the NFT in particular or the whole blockchain thing? Also, please don't confuse blockchain with DeFi, as the later is a concept that 'lives' on the blockchain too.
Well, it's simple. NFT should allow you to prove ownership of something, all this being backed up by the blockchain, i.e. anyone can see that you are the real owner. Especially useful in combination with smart contracts.NFT's in particular, mostly what is supposed to be their point and why is that even a thing.
