Well, you're wrong, just as no-coiners are often wrong in their attacks on bitcoin. Its just more comfortable to make sweeping generalizations and stick with them forever than make slight alterations to your world view in light of new information.

Except that bitcoin gives a solution to a real-world problem, that is sending electronic cash over communication channels cheaply, fast, and in a censorship resistant fashion? Who's generalizing now? Roll Eyes

Pretty much all the counterpoints being made in this thread come from a place of arrogant ignorance

I don't ignore your points on NFTs, neither do I say they're ponzi. I just find no utility on buying hashes of binaries. That's all. I've already told you before: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5408273.msg60681117#msg60681117

Looks a bit low-quality, and not a very impressive portrait. Yet these sell for millions of dollars. Why? Because they are scarce, very old, and made back when hardly anybody else was making baseball cards.

And because they're cards... with a physical beingness? Owning one card means you get the (physical) rights to share it with your friends, show it to the public, completely disappearing it off the face of the planet-- generally, you own the card, and not a liability / receipt of the card. On the other hand, the moment I upload my digital card on OpenSea, it stops being in my possession, and everyone can utilize it.

I honestly see no benefits on buying an NFT art. I do see some benefit of buying a painting, but not the rights that I own it. Especially when these rights are community-driven and not by the law.
