What we SHOULDN'T do is take away their right to one if they so choose.

Because it's a drug that gives you a feeling. Some people enjoy the feeling that smoking gives them, the addiction slowly follows after.

The same works for just about any drug. I can assure you that heroin and crack addicts didn't suddenly decide they wanted to be addicted to those drugs. Curiosity gets the best of people sometimes.

Not OP but in my personal experience I've talked to countless people that had no idea watching YouTube without ads is possible (without paying) and their minds were blown. With Google calling out attention to it like this, I'm sure many will get curious. Most people don't use their electronics beyond basic functionality..

And tbh you're gonna be hard pressed to get real data of how many ppl are suddenly finding out about it.

There are VR mods available for RE 2, 3, 7, and 8. They're not perfect but they're damn good

I never claimed made a claim that it protected you from scams. I said it can't be counterfeited.

I really don't want a "one true crypto". I think different blockchains can serve different purposes.

And as far as ticketing goes, yes the centralized authority (let's say Disney for example) would set a max amount of tickets (nfts) to be sold/minted and they would be distributed to wallets as they are sold. Nobody else would have a way to alter or counterfeit fake tickets.

I can totally understand all the hate for crypto though. I mean.. I'm a gamer and bought my graphics card during the peak of crypto mining. Was I happy? Hell no. I had a deep hate for crypto at the time... But I decided to dig deeper into what the rage was about. Using actual crypto wallets and interacting with Dapps was quite eye opening to what the future web could be like.

But I'm also with you that crypto needs some form of regulation, but imo crypto and stocks are not the same. If anything NFTs would be more like stocks/shares.

One of the biggest hurdles, like you've mentioned, is that a good portion of the space is full of ponzis/scams. But there are a handful out there who truly care and are trying to pave the way and build up a new way to interact with others. I assure you there's more to it than just scams and jpeg trading. It can be pretty neat when you see what's possible.

Sorry to take up so much of your time with my second ramble but you raised some good points. Cheers

Totally fair. I just see at as one of the many uses that are possible. Let's day you couldn't make it to an event and wanted to sell your ticket. It would be pretty easy to get the other users wallet address and make the exchange. Also, not all blockchains have high transaction fees. On the Solana network, for example, you can make the exchange for a fraction of a cent. It would cost you roughly. $0.0021 to make the trade.

Honestly, right now it's like the wild west. The markets need a form of regulation. For that reason, I'd never recommend anyone get into nft trading without some serious research put into it. But as the space evolves, there will likely be thing put in place to solve this issue.

Also wanted to say I also very much appreciate your response. Most here have decided to attack me instead of actually holding an intellectual conversation. Hope you have a great day!

Never said it was a problem.. Just saying its a better solution. That's okay though.. Saving this comment and will tag you during the next crypto bull run when the hype is back 😘

I'll just use a small example.. Let's say you have an NFT for a online casino project. Simply holding the nft in your wallet will give you a weekly payout (certain percentage of profits for that week/month)

I use this example because nfts can have many different uses. Another would be gated communities/gated access to online services. Hope that helps it make sense a little

My grandparents had a similar model. It works to this day, I'm sure. Before they passed away (~5 years ago) , I would still occasionally use the TV to play my NES games when I would visit.

A similar thing happened to me years ago while working a graveyard shift at a gas station. Somebody came in late at night and projectile shit all over the top of the toilet and the wall behind it. Never seen anything like it in my life. Your description was perfect tbh haha.. But anyways.. Yeah I didn't clean that shit. I left it for the next person coming in.. Pretended like I never noticed it. I felt bad for whoever cleaned it but my minimum wage making ass wasn't about to clean up liquid shit that was sprayed all over a wall

I merely use nfts as an example because they are closer to what a stock would be than a coin itself. They are not the same though. I was not making that claim.
