As for the NFTs, I think it's important to realize that the vast majority of people aren't buying into it. The game only earned $54 million because there are some very "rich" and bored people in the crypto space and they have nothing else to spend their crypto on after they bought their Tesla with BTC and their Bored Ape NFT with ETH. To ask us to "make up our minds" disingenuously implies that the wider gaming community as a whole, or near enough, contributed to that $54 million. We didn't. The game only has 4,661 plots total, and as of writing this comment only ~150 are left. So, ~4500 people bought in out of millions of gamers, and there is strong argument to be made that the majority of those 4500 aren't even gamers. They're more likely crypto investors and speculators with a lot of spare crypto and nothing else to spend it on and a hope that their "land" purchase will appreciate in value just in time to sell it before it tanks to almost nothing.,(reply>), @( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) You're missing the point. Crypto bros never admit it's just a get rich quick "investment"... they say things like "it's the future of economics" and "I'm just getting in early" and "the deed to your house will be an NFT some day"...<br><br>I put "investment" in parenthesis because really the whole thing is a grift, a giant expensive game of hot potato and like 90% of them know it is. Nobody wants to be the guy holding the spud when it blows up in their face, but everyone wants to be the last guy who tossed it before it blows up in the next guys face.,(reply>), @Leander Uka I would rather ask media including LTT to stop promoting this crap,by normalizing it. Starting from this "news" that mislead people adding them legitimacy and recognition,to things like "ape brains" and "diamond hands" that Linus got personally involved in.,(reply>), I know friends who are in fact gamers who have bought legacy land...,(reply>), <i>You know how many people it takes to drive the price of a digital JPEG monkey to 1 million dollars?</i><br>Two people. They both compete giving higher and higher values till finally it's sold for 1M dollars. Then they go out and advertise that a digital monkey is worth that much. Yes, it's worth 1 million dollars to the two people who've are crazy enough to pay that. Then they go out and convince other people to join their mental asylum because they're financially incentivized to do so...<br>I've never seen in the history of the world something being pushed so hard and it's still not even close to mainstream, because collecting stuff has never been mainstream. To the few people that want to collect digital art in a space that no one cares about, go ahead do that. Please stop trying to convince others that it's "the future".,(reply>), @( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Yes, but assets usually have underlying value. If you invest in real estate you own a property to rent out. If you buy stock you own part of a company. The same goes for basicly any other financial product.<br><br>Since most cryptocurrencies aren't accepted as payment anywhere and are completely useless as currencies due to their massively fluctuating prices their value goes to Zero if you can't find an idiot to dump them on. It's a bubble.
