So uhhhhhh I think I'm gonna need you guys to explain something to me.

It's been my understanding, throughout the comedy of errors and collapses that has been the crypto and NFT world over the past however many years, that the whole idea of NFTs is that they are unique. Like, those Bored Apes were all supposedly valuable because each one was unique and only one person could own the one in the sailor suit, only one person could own the one in the salmon fisherman's slicker, only one person could own the one with lipstick and big rainbow frightwig, etc. And if you claimed to have a copy of one of those that someone else said they owned, they would say "hey you stole my ape".

i.e. NFTs cannot be "collected" in the same sense as baseball cards.

Baseball cards work like, I bought some gum and I got five baseball cards, oh look I got doubles of Goose Gossage, want to trade?

But NFTS HAVE NO DOUBLES, that is like the entire god drat point

You can't "collect them all". You can't "trade with your friends" until you have "the complete set".

Am I fundamentally misunderstanding this poo poo or ....??

Did someone, in a desperate attempt to get Trump to understand how NFTs are a good grift train to get on while the getting's good, use the analogy of baseball cards or Pokemon and he latched on to it and insisted on releasing "digital trading cards" which somehow found a way to fundamentally undermine the only dubious claim to "value" NFTs ever had in the first place, by making multiple copies of each card available which is the only "argument" NFT idiots ever had against people going "lol right-click-save" ??

You become the "owner" of the image, registered as such in a blockchain or something. There's nothing tangible to own, there's no original, anybody can copy it as many times as they like, but you remain the registered "owner". You can sell the ownership of this intangible arrangement of coloured dots (usually for dramatically less than you paid for it) to some other gullible idiot and they now "own" it and will be registered as such in the same place, but of course you can make a million copies if you want to because it's just a file on a computer.

In a way it's a bit like those "Star Registry" scams. Send me $100 and I'll say that Betelgeuse is now named after your late grandmother and I'll write it down in my ledger that nobody else cares about.

Right but my point is that with "collectible digital trading cards", you can have MANY owners of the same NFT.

Theoretically at least with the apes there was supposed to be only one "owner" of each specific AI-generated ape drawing.

With these he wants to sell as many $99 copies of each one to as many people as possible, defeating the entire purpose (as I understood it) of NFTs. Now it's literally just $99 for a jay peg.

Physical pictures require expense to produce and distribute. NFTs cost you nothing and you can sell them repeatedly which is why they're such a good grift.

I'm sure they're already analysing them in minute detail looking for hidden secret messages and Q references.

And if you count the number of scales visible on the alligator and divide them by the number of rippling muscles on Trump it's a clear signal that he will be reinstated on January 3rd and arrest Hillary and Brandon the same day.
