Nullian Original (archive.is) (archive.org)Subject: [WO] NFTs are good!Proof that NFT technology will succeed:
I see WOers slinging the exact same FUD against NFTs as has always been used against Bitcoin. Let’s see just how much this technology will totally take over the world:
- “It’s a Ponzi.” ✔
- “The scarcity is artificial. Anyone can make perfect copies of it.” ✔
- “Drug dealers will use it to launder money.” ✔
- “Those fools will be burned when it is shut down by regulators (SEC, et al.).”2 ✔
I anticipate that as I keep reading WO posts about NFTs, I will be adding to this list...
What's struck me as a touch ironic is that bitcoiners are criticizing NFTs for the exact same reasons nocoiners criticize bitcoin:
"Anybody can make one." ✓
"It's a bubble and a fad that will never catch on." ✓
"It's a highly illiquid market, or else it's all wash trading." ✓
"Its only used by money launderers and criminals." ✓
What am I forgetting?
That would get you expelled from any academic environment.
To me as an
original thinker, it is discouraging: Why should I contribute my original thoughts to this forum, so that nutildah can rip me off without even the slightest acknowledgment?
There is only one nullius. nutildah’s unattributed paraphrase of my ideas is conceptually a half-step away from Faketoshi’s claim that he wrote the Bitcoin whitepaper.
(nutildah does get extra
chutzpah points insofar as he pretends to have me ignore-listed. Cue the
plagiarism bingo card:
“We had similar thoughts, including even the placement of Unicode checkmarks!”)
I will report it on the plagiarism thread.
