No, they were justifying you pay $20,000 for a one-off immutable crypto token that had a comment field with a URL to someone's google drive holding a picture of a jpeg of an ape.

Like I know people who bought the shake weight exercise thing off of infomercials at 2 a.m, And I know people back ridiculous tech kick starters for things that aren't even possible to make, but I still to this day cannot believe truly that people paid thousands for a JPEG.

The world is such a dismal shithole that people are willing to buy into get rich quick schemes. Doubly so "tech" ones, since most missed the boat on crypto and hear about how they could have bought $100 of Bitcoin in 2010 and be a retired millionaire right now, so are looking to get in on the ground floor of the next hot new thing heading for the moon. Ultimately, it's a mixture of stupidity and greed mixed with desperation, which the grifters are all too happy to feed and take advantage of.

The current craze is AI, with the shovel-seller mainly being Nvidia. Actually training your own model isn't worth it, so your best bet is to either act as a middle-man leeching money off of API calls to someone else or, perhaps, just take something like DeepSeek and finding a cheap-enough data center you can run it out of and charge people to use it.

The bubble's getting wobbly, though, so be careful you don't get stuck with the bag when it pops. 95% of AI orgs are making zero profit and existing at the mercy of investors.

The ones in your pic are special limited cards with a very low population that were given at specific events and occasions.
This >>106559577 is a free promo card that was scalped by chinks and now it's at 25$ (still too much), has a trillion copies, probably thousands graded 10 (worth a few hundreds, still too much), and that specific example is a fake sale of some seller selling to himself to hype a black label that is the same as a PSA10 but 10x more scam.

it's a fair sentiment but the fact of the matter is that we already do this without NFTs. people take out insurance over items of ownership such that if someone were to steal that item, one could prove they had it originally. all NFTs do is move this concept into a distributed, tamper-protected ledger with other features.

that's not the point though. an image of something isn't the same as evidence of ownership of something. in the case of an ape picture, you could exercise ownership over the specific qualities of the illustrated ape, like a trademark. again, not to defend the stupid ape craze. a more apt example is the ownership of a physical painting. everyone knows the works of pablo picasso and there are uncountable photographs of them on the internet but only one person owns it. having that ownership tracked in a way that cannot be tampered with is a useful property.

like you said, it can be addressed by a normal database. however, qualifying it as "adequate" is debatable. the entire point of blockchain technologies is to decentralize the database such that it cannot be tampered with. we already know how brittle trust in centralized power is. you don't know that you hate it until it's already too late.

How so when the entire "non fungible" token is in fact very fungible, being just an infinitely copiable piece of data?

A picasso painting has a physical form and there is only one of any given example. Even if you just have a print, the print you have is not in my house. If I have a print too, it's not the same item as your print. I would potentially pay you for it to be in my house so I can enjoy it on some different level than looking at a jpeg of it or looking at it instead of or addition to my own copy. It's also a bad example because trademarks/copyrighted works are still the Picasso estate's property (or whoever owns it idk) but I can physically own prints and the original paintings and ownership thereof are separate from the right to make copies of them.

The only possible purpose for such ownership tracking is intellectual property where I can prosecute you for copying it, but again
>even for stuff like event ticketing or vidya items, it doesn't solve any problems that weren't already adequately addressed by a normal database
because the thing preventing unauthorized use is not a technical filter, it's legal force. I will sic my lawyers on you and depending on the place and severity of the copyright infringement, I might even be able to bring physical force against you (calling the cops on you for bootlegging). Proving I "own" it on the chain doesn't mean shit if my local courts don't agree because I didn't liase with them specifically and they happen to not use blockchain as part of registering trademarks and copyright.

> decentralize the database such that it cannot be tampered with.
Ah yes, because there have never been forks, splits, or rollbacks in crypto with whoever being able to "stake" the most being able to literally define the market. "decentralized" is just a codeword for "not controlled properly (so i can fuck with it)". literally picrel

Agree. And additionally the decentralized vs. privacy aspect.
I can check any transaction any bitcoin wallet ever did and in a perfect web3 / NFT / IPFS world i can check when you are online, what you are up to, what you are doing and your whole history if i know your wallet.
In reality, you would have a hundred different wallets to avoid being exposed. But still, it is an issue that nobody likes.
And as soon as they add something to hide transactions, like Monero, it's flooded with criminals even fucking harder.
Crypto is full of good ideas destroyed by shitty scammers and criminals. And 99.99% of crypto dudes are one of those two. It all began when people used Bitcoin as investment, rather than as payment method.
>just want stuff to be easy for end users
Only when its about investing crypto shekels (once you already got them). Everything is about speculations and investments.
Running an IPFS node is not user friendly. Running a LBRY client isn't user friendly. The software for both is severely lacking and on the state of an intern project done in a summer break.
Brave added ipfs// support, but it was too much of a maintenance burden, so they dropped it again. Cryptobros completely botched their chance. Getting ipfs support into browsers should be the uttermost highest priority issue for them... if they would be honest.
But it is not about decentralization for most of them, it is about scamming people for shekels, so why bother with the actual technical implementation? As long as there is one proof-of-concept electron app nobody runs, you can claim that it exists.

Part of the reason is that there's no reason for random people to hear about, or even have an opportunity to invest in the useful stuff(or perceived useful stuff).
VCs horde all the pre-seed, seed, series A-n rounds themselves.
And then when it's time to exit and dump on the public you get shit with fully divest values in the many billions...then the public 'invests' and gets shit on.
This also applies to stocks and IPOs. But it's just 100x worse in crypto.
That wasn't the case 8-10 years ago in crypto though before the VCs ruined it.
That's why people came up with stupid shit like NFTs and memecoins. Actual tech projects just got monopolized by an oligarchy of VCs with their private rounds.

Incorrect. They paid $200k for a URL to a picture of an ape. The actual image data wasn't encoded in the blockchain, just the url.

Is it, though? Just because the listing is at that price, it doesn't mean anyone is willing to pay that much.

The blockchain is a distributed set of information. Basically all clients 'agree' that this information is what it is. An NFT is when you put arbitrary information into the blockchain, so that all clients in the network agree that token y containing string z is assigned to address x. Yes people are that stupid to buy this.

Because there are things called public records and government, anon. A blockchain doesn't mean shit if there's not force to enforce it. That's where a government comes in. When you buy a house, your ownership of it is enshrined in a deed which is upheld by the legal system, which is enforced by the government, who has police, military, etc to force people to obey.

The way they evaluated an investment was does the number go up. The number went up, therefore good investment.
They didnt think it through more than that, & didnt want to. Actually they thought you were crazy for thinking theres more to it than that. They still do.
Explain to them how its worthless & you sound like some insane shizo rambler giving a thesis, while they say 'number goes up' & laugh at you.

Some guy caught shit for selling his bored ape for $37k on twitter recently(from the 'community'). So I'd take that as a rough estimate of what the price is since that was popular enough to get in my field of vision, and I don't follow NFTs at all.

No, there's a minting cost, it's entirely meaningful.

yeah, it also requires a computer with internet access and the ability to understand how to mint things. Obviously "anyone" is a bit of hyperbole. Depending on the token standard and collection size, it can be extremely cheap on Solana (for example) to make an "NFT collection". Even if it weren't basically free it would not be a meaningful statistic.

I mean the evidence by default would be on chain presumably, else people would immediately call it out.
The whole context of the post and and how it was shared with me was laughing at the guy because his post was about how it was worth $400k.
It was actually a pretty funny post because it was something like how the value was supposed to be in the 'community' and he was just sitting in some random chain bar with 2 other dudes watching muted lacrosse and it hit him in some depressing realization of how much he lost.
It was not a celebration that he was able to sell it, that's for sure. Nor did it promote them in any way.
It just highlighted how stupid the whole thing is and the sudden realization that hundreds of thousands of dollars that they could have had evaporated because of some embarrassing concept of the 'community' having value.

I understand that, but so do other people.
The level of sophistication in wallet tracking and on chain analysis these days is quite high.
If it was a wash trade, there would be tons of people who would gladly point that out and bust out their argument/on chain evidence.
Their post would get a ton of attention on twitter and they'd be able to promote their services or product(generally quite valuable SaaS subscriptions etc).
No one seemed to do that. And the 'community' was very angry with him making that post.
I doubt it was a wash trade myself. But I don't care enough to try to verify that, nor would it make it any less funnier(it would actually make it 10x funnier at least).
I mean people fucking hate Bored Apes(myself included). So if he seriously wasn't able to make a legitimate sale I would absolutely love to see that.

It's possible. And it definitely happens.
There's just not that many people who trade NFTs these days, so getting away with it when all of these 'collectors' have their doxed wallets and such is more difficult than it would have been a few years ago.
I really, really, hope it was a wash trade though and someone finds out. Especially after the amount of crying people were doing after this particular guy left. That would be like salt in the wound.
A lot of people are down a ton of money on these things, since in 2021 there was a point where the lowest you could buy one for was $420k. And so many people were buying on the way up or at the top, that they're down 6 figures+.
Someone trying to drum up exit liquidity down 90% with a fake trade that shits on the whole concept and community would be peak.

see >>106582143 but also in true techbro fashion, they bought the lights apparently without knowing anything about event planning, raves, uv lighting, or how to read

supposedly the actual factual sequence of events was
>cryptobros wanna throw a big rave
>rave-throwers know that uv lights are fun
>they just went on amazon and hit "sort by price high to price low"
>bought the top item thinking more expensive is gooder
it could have been avoided if they had just hired an actual entertainment agency or even just hit up Party City and asked a wagie clerk

in an even more fun twist, they didnt even supply uv reactive paint or anything. i guess they thought uv bulbs work like on CSI where stuff magically glows under it
