--- Quote from: nctnico on January 16, 2022, 01:29:32 am ---The value of a NFT is based on the (digital) object it represents. It seems to be gaining quite a bit of traction in the (digital) art world because it allows multiple people to become part owner of a piece (*) and the artist can choose to receive a kickback for every transaction.
* There are organisations /systems which allow people to invest in expensive objects (art, historical, etc) and trade the ownerships like shares. NFTs bring the ability to trade ownership without needing a middle man like auction houses etc.

The theory behind NFTs was the artist would get a portion of the money as the digital asset increased in value.
Reality is there are bots (on twitter for example) that steal digital artwork, and sell the NFT w/out permission.
Given how crypto currency works, you can't even cancel or take ownership of the stolen item.
Whole Cryto currency thing reminds me of the quote:
"No trees were killed to send this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced."

NFT and cryptocurrency madness are just a modern digital form of tulip mania
unlike tulips though they cause a great deal of environment damage both from energy waste and fast hardware turnover
