There wasn't a way of showing status online? Is that why Notch is still depressed in his candy mansion?

Nothing says "Status" like possessing a palette-swapped digital image of a cartoon monkey created at less time and cost than it would take to bottle up your own sneeze.

It’s been a decade since user post counts were visible on every SA post, and since reg dates were important. But now we may once again proudly show our internet cred, all thanks to NFTs. I have waited so long for this moment.

When the Regchain reaches tier 2* implementation you'll be able to purchase that valuable status symbol for your own, no need for jealousy. The date is not fungible but the ownership is! * tier 1 was an Initial Date Offering of 9/11

If you scroll down her twitter page a bit, you can see where she references a poll from February where she asked "do I need to learn about NFTs" and the slight majority answer is "no". Then she repeated the poll on 19 DEC and the answer is about 67% "no".

New money has always had no taste, but it's pretty amazing how on top of NFTs doing literally none of the poo poo they say they do, they're pretty much the opposite of 'a way to show status online' for the reputation they instantly and deservedly gathered.

Maybe I’m being dumb but isn’t “showing status” predicated on everyone accepting that what you’re showing is “status having”? You don’t have to be into cars to know that Lambos cost a lot, therefore anyone who owns one is likely well off. Same for Patek Philippe etc stuff (although fancy watches can be passed down so aren’t necessarily indicative). For Bored Ape poo poo or other NFTs to be a sign of wealth or status it would have to mean something in the wider world, to the uninitiated. I can’t see how that could ever realistically happen when 100% of their “utility” can be appropriated simply by copy and pasting them. If I copy and paste the most expensive Bored Ape then I’m just as rich looking - which is to say not at all - to anyone on the periphery as the “owner”. Only in the inner circle and amongst a very small number of people does that ownership actually mean anything. Durzel fucked around with this message at 10:25 on Dec 21, 2021 |

They're rejecting the reality that bitcoin will be a million dollars per by the end of year. Well, maybe next year. But that just means it's time to buy the dip! This can only be good for bitcoin.

While I feel like a Lambo is not a good use of money, they at least look kind of nice and I'm assuming they drive pretty nice. You are at least getting something high quality in return for your money. Even if you believe that an NFT confers ownership, what do these people even believe they are buying? Really bad, low-quality artwork, that isn't even unique because it was generated procedurally. I wouldn't pay a dollar for this artwork that they are "buying" for many dollars. Normally, when you own something, that means you have additional power over it that non-owners of it don't have. If I own a car, I can drive it. If I own a painting, I can display it where I choose and if I want, I don't even have to let other people see it. What additional power over something does being the "owner" of its NFT give you? Nothing. This was something I wanted to ask: Let's say an NFT exists in the blockchain, pointing at some url. Does anything stop someone from minting a new NFT in the same blockchain, pointing at the same url and claiming it is the "real" one? No, right? No one is actually buying lovely monkey artwork on the blockchain for $1,000, right? It's just one guy selling artwork to himself to make it look like there is a market, right?

It helps that nice houses and cars and watches and paintings and such are usually nice to look at, though not always. Bored Apes are loving hideous and those arent even as bad as the Lindsay Lohan furry NFTs that even the furries thought were so ugly they laughed her out of town

People already have their private avatars stolen in VR, right clicking 3D avatars literally already exists. There is nothing stopping people from stealing them, sticking a bunch of dicks on them then duplicating them a thousand times and flooding their precious metaverse homes until the server crashes.

That's why his argument pivots almost immediately to "being in a club", with one of the replies asserting that you'll need the right NFT to get in the door of some future exclusive area. The initial argument is thin, so they immediately throw in an (unprovable) appeal to belonging and FOMO.

Lol remember that photo of the Bored Ape "club" meeting where every single person in the photo looked like a minor variation of the same base douchebag? Slightly different facial hair, hat, or shirt but still clearly the same template.

The lambo at least will do it's given job of being a good gofast machine. And it's not like the car's VIN is what makes it valuable. That's what NFTs are in the example, they're not the luxuary good, they're the unique identifier to the luxury good and it turns out simply wiriting down the VIN of a lambo doesn't give you full access to a cool go-fast machine. But guess what happens when I copy an NFT! E: I'm picturing a scene in a metaverse where a guy is arguing with someone behind the counter about how the database says it's his car and we zoom out and pan about outside and everyone is driving lambos, wrapping them around fire hydrants and whatever just having a good time.
