Can’t wait until one of those NFT repository sites gets owned via basic sql-injection and someone replaces all the links to that .gif of the dude doing a flip while taking a poo poo. The world may be burning but I’ll have a hearty laugh.

Yeah but since NFTs are just people scamming or laundering, would anyone even notice if their expensive purchase turns into a gif of a making GBS threads flip guy?

But what even is an NFT game and why would people be demanding it? A game that you pay for and download? A game where you pay for extra items and stuff? Perhaps I have a brain tumor or something but I feel like these things have existed for a very long time

Counterfeit NFTs. Would that finally destroy them or would it somehow lend them more credibility?

I've had a meeting salesman for a ERP system last friday who claimed their software was powered by the blockchain. This set a number of alarm bells, until I actually looked at what they're selling and realized they're using a normal, functional SQL db. :psyduck:
The salesdude seemed to think "blockchain" was just a synonym for "database" or something.

People need a database for ERP-ing? How I long for the days when people would just meet up in Diablo

Yeah but allowing NFTs as items in your game means all the trading is done outside your game and you can’t get a cut of the transaction price

Can you take an address pointing to a blockchain entry and make *that* an NFT?

The blockchain itself as an NFT, on the blockchain.

Or what about NFTs that just point the the previous NFT?

Nobody knows and nobody will ever find out cuz it’s not like what it points at matters to anyone trading in them

If Crypto.com paid for, say, a 10 year naming deal but they go bankrupt in 2 years, can Staples Center get named something else or is it stuck as Crypto.com Center for 8 more years?

I remember like a decade ago, some bitcoin guy had this fantastic idea of backing bitcoins with TF2 keys. I can’t for the life of me remember what that actually entailed though. How would one back bitcoins with TF2 keys?

If you don't want to watch the whole cartoon (you don't), there's a twelve-second clip here. That's enough to tell that this is some amateur hour horseshit.

So is this show about how great NFTs are, or is it using those mascots just totally divorced from the cryptos?

I guess it will be pretty hilarious when it comes out that only Ubisoft employees bought any and they’re just selling them back and forth to inflate the price themselves. What I’m saying is Ubisoft Quartz is good.

Still lolling at Ubisoft using NFT but locking it down to the point it’s indistinguishable from the type of tradable and sellable in-game items TF2 and CSGO have had for years and years.
