There you go, you asked for one reason and I gave you four.

And I’m not just saying all that because you’re calling me a liar to my face

I point out that there is a website where you can find literally every single piece of art that has an NFT for it and download it for free, which feels like it takes some of the wind out of the sails of this idea of selling art via NFTs.

If you’re trying to guarantee royalties for sales of a piece of music it really is just better to go with something like Apple Music or Spotify

Please tell me how to do distributed consensus without a blockchain. Maybe you think DAGs are superior?

if we’re really going to go the both sides route.

Hmm so you’re the only one allowed to dictate exactly what people must do in order to satisfy your arbitrary requirements. Well to take another page out of your playbook:

Haha the amount of emotion you put into these screeds always kills me. With this much conviction you must at least be making bank shorting the crypto market, but who knows, maybe your sense of moral righteousness is all you need to justify spending this amount of emotional energy on something you hate.

automatic royalties for the original artist on resales, regardless of which marketplace they are sold on

Watch this video, it’s all about some of the things NFTs can do better than current technology and how they are good for artists

yes, most NFT projects are sickeningly-positive echo chambers designed to entice new buyers, but that doesn’t reduce the potential of the technology in the slightest. it would be like claiming that all online forums are worthless simply because the kotaku.com comments sections is devoid of any critical discussion

comparing decentralized global interaction to a motorized standing scooter is pretty disingenuous, surely even you realize that, deep down.

i’m sure you’ve got a 2-hour Folding Ideas video up your sleeve on how echo chambers are good and how being confronted with a differing opinion is literally violent oppression

strange that you think polite disagreement in the comments section is akin to harassment. i’m not sure what sort of personal satisfaction you get out of spamming the same video on every article, but if you learned everything you know about crypto from a single biased source, it’s no wonder you don’t even know what you…

Do you really, Really, REALLY, REALLY want to draw direct comparison between NFT’s and microtransactions?

that’s the thing about regulation and the Howey test, there needs to be more clarity about whether crypto currencies are securities or commodities. the SEC is avoiding making a decision and it will be interesting to see what happens when the legal issues between Ripple and the SEC are finally resolved

scammers are everywhere. i get multiple calls a week from human scammers pretending to work for the government and needing my information. i get multiple emails a week that make it through my spam filter trying to trick me into clicking something. as email became more mainstream consumers became more savvy about the…

i can’t tell if you’re trolling or not... surely you’re being a bit sarcastic. you watched a 2 hour long one-sided video and now comment it on every kotaku article

All regulations are important, even the tax ones. Even CPAs I’ve talked to are confused about what the government expects when it comes to reporting capital gains for swaps/liquidity providing/staking rewards etc. The more confusion that is cleared up with regulations, the more reputable companies will enter the space…
