What? You mean digital art that infinitely reproducible, can't actually be owned, WASN'T the next big thing? Oh jeez. I hope the metaverse succeeds and if not then AI surely will RIGHT?!?!

Hey! You be fair to the NFT owners.

They never owned digital art, just a link to a specific instance of!

Hey but this cryptographic key says that I own it because I paid made up currency units for it or something

Hey but that made up currency I worked for by burning electricity, I mean MINING it.

Hey, but the recent changes means I earned that made up currency by proving I own more than you!

OH! It's an epeen thing! Got you! All the rich win. Congrats to them.

It’s an epeen thing!

Does that require proof of wank?

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My favorite thing is there are certain NFTs that are viruses that as soon as you do ANYTHING with them, they go and transfer all of the contents of your wallet to another wallet. Even deleting them triggers this action. So if you have unknown NFTs in your wallet you can’t touch them lest they trigger this virus.

How could this not be the future of commerce?

WHAT?!? I've never heard of that! That's nefarious! WOW!

I got it from a Folding Ideas video (the problem with nfts one)

But here’s a link actually detailing it https://www.gate.com/learn/articles/beware-of-unexpected-nfts-and-assets-in-your-wallet-they-could-steal-all-your-funds/7682
