My current way to explain to non techies is that it's like those "Name a star" sales:

* Artificial seeming scarcity out of something that's inherently abundant

* No actual ownership of actual thing

* Instead, a overly-detailed focus on mechanics of the process: We will send you a gilded certificate; we will put your entry into a leather bound book; this cook will be registered with United States Copyright Office; it will be added to Library of Congress, etc etc etc - giving seeming legitimacy to the endevour

The only thing that's missing, and it's a critical difference, is the complete lack of secondary market for named stars :D

Most NFTs are pretty much a scam, but: This is the kind of joke for people that think they are clever but don't really understand the situation. Its kind an ignorant position, reminds me of a 'brb downloading RAM' joke. Or sending someone a plastic Bitcoin. or Faxing dollar bills. Someone made a web site, ok. Guess we don't need fancy Blogging platforms now.

C'mon now.

The point of this joke site is to say "look NFTs are just a set of records", while missing the whole point of

trustless, censorship resistant, append only, peer to peer ledgers

The thing is, we saw these jokes about Bitcoin 10+ years ago. Its easy to point fun at things that one doesn't really understand. I imagine lots of people see this joke and go "Ha! See! You dont need a blockchain" while missing the point entirely.

Please don't post generic flamewar comments to HN. We've been through this hundreds of times at this point. It's tedious.

All: please keep threads like this from degenerating into the same-old-flamewar we've already had hundreds of times at this point. It has become super tedious. Also, tedious threads inevitably turn nasty (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...).

If you have something genuinely new or curious to say, great. Otherwise please move on.

My understanding is that this is not correct, it conflates all NFT transactions without nuance, if one buys intellectual property via NFT and can prove it (which is ostensibly NFT's raison d'etre) then I see no reason why they couldn't exercise their rights to it (i.e. sue for copyright infringement, ect)

Are you arguing that you purchasing a picture from me on Opensea does?

No. You are the random guy and Opensea is the street. (And it’s not a picture/wife that you sell, is an NFT/certificate.)

Sure, but how am I different from million other guys on the street or Opensea.

Lets start at the beginning. You have analogy wrong ( which is a problem with analogies - they are open to interpretation ). The joke part says the following:

1. You have a wife. 2. She is not behaving like your wife. 3. You have a marriage certificate saying she is your wife

And NFTs follow the same pattern, because:

NFTs say they are your wife. They do not behave like your wife ( everyone can have them ). You have a digital certificate saying that NFT is your wife regardless.

**

As a guy on the street, I only see a value of selling fake wife certificate. I do not see value buying it.

I hope I explained it right.

Vile hatred? It's a joke website. Also, if you truly believe in a technology and its future, doesn't "everyone hating it" just widen the inefficiency gap for some folks to make a bunch of money on a technology they are certain will be valuable one day?

I'm not criticizing this particular submisssion but rather the fact that there is now *every* single day a thread where people hate on crypto.

What is the benefit for the community if a place which used to be about acquiring knowledge now spends their time on hating the same thing over and over again every day?

The bulk of which are probably still valid today, but you can’t understand because you have conflated price with value.

It's not like it hasn't been done a million times. So what is the added value in repeating this hate-fest every day?

There is no value in the endless repetition. There's also no value in getting worked up about it. The only viable response is to accept it's going to happen and have meaningful discussions elsewhere.

That is precisely why I said Hackernews is doing itself a disservice:

This makes people leave the site, like you just proved by suggesting it.
