I never claimed made a claim that it protected you from scams. I said it can’t be counterfeited.
I really don’t want a “one true crypto”. I think different blockchains can serve different purposes.
And as far as ticketing goes, yes the centralized authority (let’s say Disney for example) would set a max amount of tickets (nfts) to be sold/minted and they would be distributed to wallets as they are sold. Nobody else would have a way to alter or counterfeit fake tickets.
I can totally understand all the hate for crypto though. I mean… I’m a gamer and bought my graphics card during the peak of crypto mining. Was I happy? Hell no. I had a deep hate for crypto at the time… But I decided to dig deeper into what the rage was about. Using actual crypto wallets and interacting with Dapps was quite eye opening to what the future web could be like.
But I’m also with you that crypto needs some form of regulation, but imo crypto and stocks are not the same. If anything NFTs would be more like stocks/shares.
One of the biggest hurdles, like you’ve mentioned, is that a good portion of the space is full of ponzis/scams. But there are a handful out there who truly care and are trying to pave the way and build up a new way to interact with others. I assure you there’s more to it than just scams and jpeg trading. It can be pretty neat when you see what’s possible.
Sorry to take up so much of your time with my second ramble but you raised some good points. Cheers
Never said it was a problem… Just saying its a better solution. That’s okay though… Saving this comment and will tag you during the next crypto bull run when the hype is back 😘
You need to teach people how to verify that their purchase for not counterfeited. Since the bar is not techological, and never will be.
We had way back when a ‘web of trust’, that actually solved a lot more problems than crypto ever did. But people never understood it, so it never got mainstream adoption.
If you don’t know a thing about stock market then it makes sense you could suggest NFTs for it, but you can actually divide shares into fractions.
I merely use nfts as an example because they are closer to what a stock would be than a coin itself. They are not the same though. I was not making that claim.
A non-fungible token (NFT) is a unique digital identifier that is recorded on a blockchain, and is used to certify ownership and authenticity. It cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided.
So just… no.
You mentioned elsewhere that people attack you instead of approaching you in a discussion.
And it’s very hard when you seem to misunderstand very basic facts. Which is why people might not be interested in what you might have to say.
It’s not an argument, it’s people pushing random bullshit onto clueless consumers who lap it up.
It’s been this way since always. Even tech-literate people fall into traps propagated by the ‘current hype’ scammers. Even in software development people keep rediscovering the same solutions over and over again, repackaged like ‘Wow look at this super cool new thing’.
Most problems today aren’t technical. Technology will not be able to solve them, and many problems will be made much worse with new technologies because of how this society is set up.
So crypto (and all its ilk) will not in any way change the world. It will only keep it as it was set up.
You’ve said nothing that dismisses anything I’ve said. I’m fully aware of what an nft is. Nft mints are used to fund projects in order to build whatever it is they are proposing. It’s not that complicated
And you obviously came here to fight, not discuss shit, so fuck off

Lmao how big a problem are counterfeit tickets? Because Ticketek seems pretty happy with what they are currently doing.
Sorry to burst your bubble but crypto & NFTs are never going mainstream. They are already past the peak, and failed spectacularly.

Lmao yeh I wouldn’t be surprised if it had another run at the ATH high, backed by shady organizations lkke Binance and imaginary Tether dollars lol

Just wanted to mention fractionalized NFTs are a thing. That “can’t be subdivided” part doesn’t hold for all types.
Then why… you know what, doesn’t matter.
It’s definitely not an NFT then. Let’s just leave it at that.
Nice way to avoid the argument 😂
Do I have to post the non-fungible part again?

Would have been much easier just got say you don’t truly understand the benefits of blockchain. Could’ve saved yourself a lot of time.

I did, and you pretending I didn’t is even less discussion-worthy.
So have a good day, and I wish you all the best.
