  • I was just talking shit about NFTs since they are specifically non-fungible. I have a dim view of them, and have yet to see a use case that couldn’t be done more elegantly through account ownership, like owning a game on Steam for example. I know proponents like to argue that they own their token, and I don’t own my games, but I feel like enacting laws over software ownership can fix that, where NFTs are fundamentally valueless without a company providing value. Like the Nascar mobile game NFTs that became worthless once the game was canceled. I own the token for a virtual car, but it now does nothing and has no value. And I wouldn’t mind that, except for the fact that the lock chain is inherently resource intensive, so we wasted a lot of electricity and clean water to prove someone has a now useless Dale Earnhardt.
