guy who downloaded like a billion $ worth claims u own the url not the actual photo. if true, then u own a very expensive url & they are as much a thing as whatever godaddy is selling except maybe people are confused about what they're getting if the guy is correct

The Problem With Things Like Crypto And NFTs Is The Market Gets Flooded With Invaluable Garbage And People Who Do Little To No Research (Which Is Most People) Feel Screwed And Figure This shyt Is Worthless

Also It’s Future Is Not Set In Stone, It’s Only A Guess, I Feel Like They’re Both Gonna Be The Grandparents Of What’s To Come

It’s more of a receipt than copyright
It’s a smart copyright in that the original minter of the item can always get paid in a transaction.

People get it confused when it comes to NFTs because of how it’s being used for art but it can be used for any digital asset. There’s a lot it can be used for but it mostly is in the software domain.

For laundering money - mainly due to all the free cash the fed was giving away the past decade. It’s a fad and will disappear when rates are hiked

NFTs are using Ethereum as a backend so in ETH probably. NFTs use the same concept as SSL/TLS certs. The blockchain acts as a CA.

Also, NFTs have a feature that you can enable that will pay you a percentage every time the NFT is sold or changes hands, making sure that if your work gets super popular and balloons in value, you’ll see some of that benefit.


People are spending millions on NFTs. What? Why?

The verge explains it above

Be very careful with nfts. I experimented with them for a few months and lost almost 2k. I'm sticking with regular crypto and maybe only nfts that are for actual projects like video games and shyt

I know how it works

I asked how do you make money from the nft that your purchased
I said Mint, not purchase. The person who Mints(creates) the nft can get royalties on the ETH blockchain. If anything I think this is how big money is getting over on some of these dumb ass celebs and other uninformed types. Minting NFTs at a crazy high price and letting them pass them around while they eat off mint royalties each transaction. It’s probably a nice haul when you see these dumb asses spending 6 figures on one.


If you are purchasing a random ape NFT hoping that it goes up and you can sell it then you are doing what’s called speculation. That’s no different than any other alternative asset.
