I like NFTs, jpeg ownership is the future. Thanks to centralization of digital media online the management of digital art ownership rights is now enforceable, the next step will be that purely digital items online are being commercialized. NFTs are the means by which you claim the right to digital private property. All that is required is that the rest of the business world adopt it as a standard. After that jpeg ownership will be enforceable and big hit memes can turn a profit.

NFTs are awesome for the game industry they can now claim that their microtransactions have real value since they "exist" outside their game system and can even be sold back for real money. So they hope that thanks to NFTs more people will buy those so that Live service games rely less on the whales who spend thousands of dollars each year on one game.

The end goal for NFTs is to turn every game into a slot machine. You will buy tokens to play with the promise that those tokens have real value. The future for gaming was never this bright.

Difficult to tell in current_year, this is what cryptobros actually believe after all.

Can't tell if this is satire, but just in case it's not, NFTs aren't about ownership of jpegs. It's more like ownership of a spot next to a jpeg. You don't have any rights to the image (or whatever it might be) itself whatsoever

Half of major developers deciding overnight to back experimental monkey picture technology does not happen organically.

It's all about

:takemymoney:
What money? Ubisoft made like $400

They think there's a lot of money in it, that's why

Maybe, but I think it's less about them actually believing this is the next big thing and more them being ruinously afraid they will miss the development train into the next big thing

FOMO for developers

I need to spend some time thinking on this.

Progress waits for nobody mate. Not trying to pull a fast one on you, if it isn't NFTs it will be something else since a more robust system of digital ownership is the future. Things might start to get real interesting once the metaverse is up and running in earnest and it's not so easy to tell the digital apart from the physical anymore.

You are just not thinking far ahead enough.

Investing in NFTs because you foresee a booming digital ownership market is somewhat akin to investing in a Tesla Coil because you foresee a booming light bulb market. When it arrives, you're still stuck with a useless spark machine while everyone else is getting rich lighting up people's living room.

The two don't relate at all. NFTs aren't selling you ownership of anything even remotely valuable even if we all become cyborgs and transfer our consciousness to the metaverse.

People who think the infrastructure for NFTs will exist are the same kind of people who think automated driving will be here in "a few years" since 1970
It's going to remain a scam market for monkey pictures

*bits of code associated with monkey pictures. The monkey pictures themselves aren't actually part of the deal. Otherwise yeah, you're bang on

That, I think, depends on the specific NFTs details.

I mean theoretically you could sell a ferrari along with the NFT, but generally, no, NFTs only sell you the placement. Even often when it looks like it doesn't.

I read somewhere that in specific cases you become the fully legal owner of the image, enabling you to do with it as you please, eg. print it on t-shirts. Tho I admit I did not verify that piece of info.

Only if the owner explicitly grants you those rights e.g., Stonetoss has done such on the NFTs he sells.
But it's nothing inherent to the NFT itself. It's basically equivalent to those services that "sell" you a star.
