Not sure if this is true, but there is one where they would put trees on the blockchain, and then charge people who walked by for the oxygen inhaled made by the tree.

Short version is that the plane tickets would have poo poo attached to them like NFTs. So Delta commissions some artist to do the art on their tickets, and then that ticket becomes a collectable after the fact. We could even have special art for flights going to places on special occasions, like Olympic Games tickets! There were similar ideas floating for all forms of tickets, with a lot of people pointing to the fact that surviving physical Woodstock tickets have become valuable collectors items, totally ignoring a) the massive cultural significance and b) the scarcity of physical items designed to be disposable that combine to make that happen. You also had some other hair-brained ideas like using the blockchaing-nft art-ticket thing to tie to other poo poo like travel insurance, and then some real ghouls pointing out how electronic assets survive so notorious tickets might become collectors items, like 9/11 widow(er)s could flog their dead spouse's American Airlines Flight 11 NFT ticket to pay for their now father/mother-less children's college. All of this ignoring that people who want digital art can just buy digital art right now, and insurance exists already, and trying to turn everything into a digital pog is dumb at best and  at worst.

The NFT logic seems to be: scarcity in physical stuff creates value (sometimes, of course), so simulating scarcity for digital stuff should create value equally Like, a big perfect diamond is very rare so its very valuable. So a picture of that diamond should have the same value, if the diamond no longer exists and that picture itself cannot be reproduced (this is the famous example of that crazy woman). Except the picture (besides, well, being only a loving digital picture), can always be copied, and the NFT cant change that, so only stupid crazy people care about NFTs believe they have to have value Same goes colectibles for any kind Elias_Maluco fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Sep 7, 2023 |

IIRC it was Gary Vee who made the comment about airline tickets being distributed as NFTs. I always interpreted his statement about a blockchain future with airline tickets becoming priceless NFTs as his just straight up not understanding the difference between an NFT as a collectible and an NFT as merely a non-fungible vehicle for an everyday transaction. I assumed Gary overheard someone talk about moving airline ticketing into NFTs and he was too dumb to realize it was the latter and not the former.

The idea of a digital collectible isn't really any worse than any other kind of collectible, but like most things, it would be flat-out 100% improved by not being on a blockchain. The only benefits of it being on the blockchain are a.) scamming and b.) not having to be legally responsible for operating a second-hand trading marketplace.
