pretty sure this is another instance of:
-coiner spots a vulnerable/untapped market of users with money that hasn't been parted with

-coiner poses as member or ally of said community looking to give them "control of their finances"

-coiner moves on to next community to scam once it's clear this group doesn't care or is too smart for it.

I want to make sure I understand NFTs wrt Tweets/posts. You make an excellent post. I pay someone else, not you the excellent post-maker, and now I can say I own that post. The only person that recognizes my ownership is the person who sold me your excellent post. The way I would make money off my ownership of your excellent post is by selling that ownership to someone even less intelligent than me. Is that right?

OP can also realize that you bought their post and delete it leaving you with nothing.

Like I unironically thought that getting the nft version of the tweet left you with an undeletable version of the tweet, because IMMUTABLE BLOCKCHAIN, but lmao nope it doesn't, because extra hilarity and fraud opportunities.

someone also needs to pay the middleman to register the excellent post into the postchain (they call this "minting" the post) before you can pay the middleman to buy a certificate saying that you now "own" this registration according to the middleman

presumably that "someone" is supposed to be the excellent op but i currently don't know/care if the middleman does any identity verification (kyc/aml? in MY postchain???) when they get paid to "mint" these mildly tagged/structured pieces of data

and then that presumable-excellent-op also needs to pay the middleman again if they want to try to cash out i guess

that's what screenshots / copypasting / web archives are for, which are useful technologies without middleman grift and have been around for decades, and they're therefore old and busted and not fintech magic disruptive blockchain be your own bankscam

"owning" in this case is very different from normal concepts of ownership

I doubt there's anything whatsoever stopping you from selling the desktop URL repeatedly, or someone else doing it too.

there's not even anything stopping you from selling it multiple times, just start a new NFT whenever you want
e:you don't have to start a new NFT to sell it multiple times but it's probably more lucrative to do so

see here i have the first twitter post by elon musk certified on the bitcoin blockchain, there's only 1,000 of these in existence so it's very rare and expensive. and over here is the first twitter post by elon musk certified on the ether blockchain, i got that at a yard sale last year for 50 cents, there's billions of them. now here is the crown jewel of my collection, the first twitter post by elon musk certified on the now defunct bitclassic blockchain, there's only 5 of these in existence and this one is especially rare as the one that certified it misspelled the name as "elno musk"

the only way you'll find out what topshots is actually selling is by reading the legal terms. they certainly won't tell you anywhere else on the site

https://www.nbatopshot.com/terms

tldr: they're selling the address of a web page that can be loaded only in the topshots app. the address is transferable between people on a particular blockchain and the app will show the web page only to the current owner

people buy the address to launder money, or to impress their rich friends on yacht trips, or to sell it to someone for either of those purposes
