This NFT shit blows my mind

i "got it" recently but i cant articulate the point.. Plus there's alot of money laundering in that shit.

Let me try to best explain (how i see it).. theyre creating a new world (VR) and a new currency (Crypto) because the reality is a lot of money in the real world is hard to get/were going to a more matrix life (but thats another long paragraph) and this is the future (See: Metaverse). So yes, these images are stupid and expensive, but the reality is if they/we are going to a more virtual space, thatll be a one of one there so justifies the price (or at least to them / the community). People pay millions for paintings in the real world, i guess same concept.

It's also a status symbol. If theres 100 and Steph curry has one, and so do you, you got some clout.

Can’t I just right click that picture and have the same exact thing?

I know that’s very simplistic and there is wallets and origination factors…but still.

I’m pretty sure much of the value comes from the data and crypto that is embedded in it. I did a little bit of reading up on how to create them and it’s a relatively simple process. But you do have to purchase Crypto to embed in the data of the image. The crypto of choice for these is Ethereum. A lot of people are saying that NFTs are also a somewhat thinly veiled way of pushing the value of Ethereum or whatever cryptocurrency being used.

Starting today Illinois schools can no longer ban cornrows, locs, afros and braids from school. Thanks to a West Side Chicago mom who fought for hair discrimination.

Post 5000!!!! Amateur numbers compared to some, but I just wanted to take a minute to celebrate the moment. Maybe I'll get a digital gift from Riccio.

Holy crap. The wrap that’s on the sled in the article is the one I designed for him while the NDL was going strong.
