Detritus Bramble Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 The only good thing about that fucking absolutely awful cunt John Terry trying to sell NFTs to kids is that most kids won’t know who he is. The full-kit wanker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiago Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 NFT's are just another attempt by the so called brains of our time to reinvent something that previously existed. They are glorified desktop wallpapers that folk are trying to charge for instead of filing away in a corner of a website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonjam88 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I don’t pretend to understand it but couple of my mates made a couple of grand each of those NFT’s. They apparently paid £200 to go into this draw thing and you will get a NFT but you won’t know if it’s good or shit. They hit lucky and I am sure sold it for about 5k. It’s absolutely weird but with VR it’s going to become a thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key thing to understand is that the NFT itself (picture, animation etc) is essentially irrelevant. This is why you see a lot of this mass produced template art (like to the apes). All they do is serve as something to speculate on. You buy the NFT, hoping the price will go up and that some bigger fool will offer you more money than you paid. It's pure, undistilled speculation, unlike say the stock exchange where things, although sometimes abstract are typically linked to something real - such as the performance of a company, actual commodities like gold silver, or financial instruments like mortgages. NFTs are basically inventing an imaginary commodity in order to speculate over. Terry is hoping to use his profile to increase hype and in turn the price so he can cash out for a big profit despite producing absolutely zero actual value. There's money to be made but if it's the future then it's depressing as fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyMark Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Speculation bubbles are fun. Well, until they pop and take out jobs and pensions with them. But for a bit some make some unearned money - so hurray! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 As said before I think there is a good chance a lot of the high profile people with 'apes' are just doing it as part of a sponsorship and have no capital at stake. The owners pumping up hype hoping some people will drop a few hundred thousand on a badly drawn monkey. A few influencers have confirmed they were offered this type of arrangement. Depressing to see so many doing it mind. Think Trent did it and changed it back almost instantly as got so much shit off Liverpool fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
