Gambling & collecting shit is also a real world use case. haha

No

Other than wasting time and scamming people? No.

I agree, that is the only use case I have seen so far.

i’m sure there’s some use for it, it just hasn’t been realized yet

Yes, you can right-click an NFT and save it to your desktop. You can't do that with coins.

😂😂

Collectors exist in the real world. Admissions to events also.

If it were utilized by real artists, I can kind of understand the point. But it has gone in a totally different direction, some random guy is making 10,000 copies with small variations and people are buying it. This is so stupid, it doesn't make any sense.

What's happened has been internet scale and I agree there's a ton of garbage out there, but it is similar to real world art.

For every gallery showing $10k+ pieces there are thousands of private works sitting in basements and attics and home studios.

What we see now is democratization of art publishing, crowdsourced curation, and if art is a social phenomenon then who am I to say what you or your bros or society should like?

I haven't bought any NFTs but I never liked the idea that the digital real isn't real. To a similar extent the physical world isn't real, ultimately constructed in our minds and proven more real by shared experience.

Very interesting prospective.

admissions to events is a valid use case for NFTs

other number-limited applications may also use NFTs

Perhaps property deeds and similar might be a valid use case?

valid use case

Inscriptions, Nft's no.

Timestamps on the timechain? Yes

They are great cRyPtO filters. A #bitcoin IQ test if you will, sadly many failed the test.
