How has decentralized proof of ownership been done before blockchain tech?

Good lord, you’re even more dense than I thought.

The only person I’m avoiding a good-faith discussion with is Burnedin - there’s no point engaging with him on anything but his own level.

Yup, mental backflips, like I expected.

I do wonder how you’ll rationalize it to yourself when you finally get your first NFT, once the landscape has changed so that there are more legitimate projects than scams, and you’ve had time to adjust to the concept. You’ll either have conveniently forgotten the embarassing amount of vitriol you spread online, or…

Your irrational hate and moralization is proof of the power of decentralized technology - it takes a fundamental invention to provoke such strong reactions in conservative people. I know that some day I too will become set in my ways and unable to see the value in new innovations so I do feel for you, and I hope you…

All the technologies you listed failed because competitors in their space beat them, not because their technology had no promise. So yes, most early blockchain/NFT projects will fail, but the technology will succeed.

Burnedin is notoriously bad-faith when it comes to this topic. He’s not interested in having a real discussion so there’s no point engaging him and expecting him to learn anything.

Just because you’re not invested in crypto or NFTs doesn’t mean you can’t be biased against it. There’s only two possibilities for the amount of emotion and anger you feel toward this topic. A) you’re heavily invested in gold or another asset that you feel is being threatened by crypto technology, or B) despite…

I don’t have to ask why you’re so scared of disruption to the status quo. I already know that this is an emotional position you’ve taken years ago and will never reconsider. You are the internet age equivalent of an old person who doesn’t comprehend how someone could see value in newfangled things like hip-hop music…

I have to ask if you didn’t realize those tweets are from the guy who created Twitch. I think he might have an idea about what tech will become popular.

their old Podtoid stuff was hilarious. making up Willem Dafoe movies and sexually harassing Jonathan Holmes

Good comments

Yup, spot on. I think the pendulum is already swinging back against the self-righteous anti-NFT anger.

The rhetoric when Steam first came out was very negative. “why do we need to install this program just to get out games, this is bullshit”, “we don’t actually own our games, i want a physical disc so i know it’s mine

Brave of them to stick to their guns despite the backlash

Hmm I do see your point, Mario 64 is a legendary game of course. But still, that sealed game might as well be empty or be a non-functional prototype or something. The fact that it could actually played is (arguably) irrelevant because it never will be. It’s only worth money because of how scarce it is, not because of…

I can’t tell if this guy on twitter (or even this article) are supposed to be making fun of cryptobros or making fun of the right-clickers who are making fun of cryptobros. This is just free advertising for BAYC
