In your opinion, how is that functionally different than when I sold photos on DeviantArt, and they got an email instead of a token? Are NFT-haters upset that art is being sold at all? Or are they upset about the delivery system?
I have NFTs with assets on chain as well, so in fact those ones aren't just "pointers".
I don't have a problem with selling art. I don't have a problem with people using NFTs if it really makes sense for them.
I do have a problem with people claiming NFTs will solve this or that problem and without fail, every single time when you ask for details about how that is supposed to work and be better than established ways to solve the problem you get either more nebulous claims that don't mean anything or some variation of "I don't understand it, but it will somehow still work, just trust me bro".
What did I say that was nebulous?
You did not say anything nebulous, someone else in this thread did. Sorry that got mixed up.
Also, looking at another one of your comments I guess I have to take back the part where I claimed "every single time, without fail" people would not deliver an actual explanation of their point.
It's always a catch 22 with crypto-skeptics, in my experience. I try to be vague enough so people simply understand the use cases and why there's excitement for the tech, but then if I get too technical it "gets nebulous" since there's lots of jargon. Very difficult to find the middle ground. In most cases, simply using the tech will clear up 99% of people's questions ... at least that's how I got into it as a former skeptic myself.
