Thank you very much for the explanation. Of all the stupid things I've heard, this is one of the stupidest. I can't comprehend why anyone would want to pay money for that, ever.In the case of things like these they are trying to sell you the concept that you are basically buying "the original", like a painting. Just like how the original Mona Lisa is worth way more than a reproduction or a print, they'll argue owning the "original" version of some digital art piece will give it more value.
Of course the big fucking difference is that you can't just right click on the Mona Lisa and get an identical version of it, the original is a real tangible object that was actually painted by Da Vinci himself and no print or reproduction of it will ever be completely the same, that's why it has value. Meanwhile your NFT is just JPEG or Gif.
NFT sellers will also often sell multiple versions with slight differences as "different unique art works". So imagine there were 50 "original" versions of the Mona Lisa, just that in one she is facing to the right, in the other one she has slightly different clothes, in the other one she has a slightly different hairstyle, etc.
Can we get a thumbs down / middle finger / puking green face reaction yet? I don’t really feel like laughter is the right reaction to shit like this.

Some piece of shit scam we will probably regret not buying into today just to sell it for millions in 10 yearsWhat is NFT?
Someone that needs to launder money.I don't understand. Explain to me like I'm 5 years old, why would anyone want to buy this? Who?
Damn, I have a lot of NFTs then.Imagine you meet a girl online and she asks you money to be your GF. You pay her and get a pic of her that you can show ur friends or sell it. You cant see the girl in real or touch her, but you can say shes ur GF. Thats NFTs.
Can this manufactured fad fuck off already?
Sick of having it crammed down my throat every 5 seconds.
Yeah but the end "user"? Who wants them?Someone that needs to launder money.
The same type of idiots buying farts in a jar.Why would people buy this ?

These people never reflect on anything.Remember when horse armour was all we had to worry about? All the people that argued it wasn’t a support slope or that it wasn’t a big deal really need to reflect back
Wut?Why is this a bad thing? Is it something nefarious, or is it just because paying money for a JPEG is dumb?
I love (making money on) Crypto, and people are generally in favor of it. Why are NFTs so reviled?
I checked one of the listings for "Bloody Tears". They're literally selling a rip of the BGM as a NFT.tbh I don't understand what the fuck are they selling
With the restrictions given, how can I make a healthy profit with any NFTs I win at auction without having to re-sell them? Couldn't I license them out as is done with other media properties?
I’d love to know who was controlling the character in these NFT’s. The computer? I’d also like to know what it feels like to own these things. Can you print it or put it on a thumb drive as a copy?
