J4MES OX4D 10,033 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I heard about this the other day where the first ever Tweet will be auctioned off for over $2m as an NFT which gives someone essentially digital ownership over something. The Tweet will remain on Twitter but it will be 'owned' by the buyer. I dunno if the world has gone mad with another fad or if something like this could turn into a very lucrative thing especially with people not having true ownership of things attributed to digital services like we see today i.e Steam, Netflix, PSN, Spotify, Social Media etc. Suddenly an original picture of something important published online with its serial may suddenly be worth something even if there is endless copies around. Maybe the first upload of a song could be sold or even a piece of digitally created art. It's just weird but I can see a market and a very big one at that especially if companies or private buyers want a piece of internet history. The fact it's something not tangible is a big problem and I'm not sure how someone will be awarded the ownership i.e will it be a certificate, attached credit to source material etc.. Will be interesting to see how this develops. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/8814-non-fungible-tokens-nft/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan94 913 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Saw something on Twitter about these the other day, apparently you literally just own the image, but not the blockchain associated with it... meaning the actual owner could then just change the blockchain, meaning the imagine could change, so what are you actually owning?!

IRaMPaGe 3,236 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It just sounds ridiculous to me, I'm with @Diddums on this one. Just sounds like money laundering and con artists wet dream. Even if someone owns an Ethereum block chain of an nft, there is nothing stopping me taking a screenie of it or anyone else for that matter! It's all silly and shouldn't exist. Cryptocurrency was never intended to be used as an investment in the first place. Wait till all of it's finished being mined in the future and watch people drop it like unwanted puppies after Christmas to try claw back some sort of the value and return. Sure make money off it if you can while the going is good, fair play. But don't rely on it, like any "stock" it could crash and burn at any moment or overnight.

IRaMPaGe 3,236 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I mean we are talking about a game that doesn't even exist yet, buying into something that's not there. Is silly that's what they open with, no gameplay or screenies? Just consumerism and cash grabbing and the promise of helping to build the game. Imagine a car manufacturer, we want money upfront but we haven't actually made it yet. What if it's shite? No mention of which studio is taking this on yet.
