Actually, NFTs and decentralized finance on Ethereum are crucial to the Meta. It allows for decentralized ownership of virtual assets.

This happens outside of NFTS, this happens with everything, US dollars, physical contracts, licenses. They can all be faked. NFTs actually do a better job at allow people to identify fakes, lmao. Do better research.

Are you serious? Artists aren’t getting paid? XCOPY a London based artist has made over $10 million on royalties from his NFT artwork. Please supply evidence to back up your bogus statements.
NFT provide trust less royalties directly to the creators wallet with no middleman.

Here’s another artist, Clon, he used to barely sell physical art at festivals, now he’s a multi million dollar art studio, because of NFT royalties. https://twitter.com/cloncast/status/1457425724860633090?s=21
Most people on Hacker news aren’t doing an ounce of research into the potential of NFTs and it’s clearly recognizable when i read all these comments. Reading a few articles by Bloomberg is not sufficient. You will all be left behind.

In-game items are a great use for NFTs because they provide ownership outside the game and can traded on 3rd party markets.
For example, i purchased a plot of land on cryptovoxels. Each individual plot of land is linked to a unique NFT. When i log into the game with my ethereum account (web3), then i gain build access to the plots of land that i own the NFTs for.

Let’s not forget that when the US governments prints money, it increases asset prices across the board. The government would then tax those “gains”. The problem is that those aren’t gains, they are only keeping up with inflation.

I find it beyond fascinating that people on this forum who are deeply involved with Web 2.0, completely disregard Web 3.0 as a scam. Technology is growing exponentially during our lifetime, if you are not open to the idea of new technology you will be either late or completely left behind.
Many people thought Web 2.0 was a scam and it would never amount to anything more than an online newspaper. Imagine putting your credit card on the internet, Heavens no!
It’s easy to punch down that what we do not understand.
