TheNFTbay.org – The Billion Dollar Torrent (All NFT's from Ethereum and Solana)
I used to come onto HN and see crypto-coin news and I&#x27;d jump into the comments and ask something along the lines of &quot;But isn&#x27;t bitcoin and all the other things like it just a giant scam?&quot; and someone who believed in Bitcoin to be a transformative technology would jump in and explain the real potential. I personally still think it&#x27;s sort of a scam, but I&#x27;m happy for all of the people who used it to get rich....so, along those lines...<p>How is &quot;NFT&quot; not a gigantic scam? I&#x27;m looking at this image right now: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rarible.com&#x2F;token&#x2F;0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18a936f13d:9187?tab=details" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;rarible.com&#x2F;token&#x2F;0xbc4ca0eda7647a8ab7c2061c2e118a18...</a><p>There is nothing at all to keep me from screenshotting or otherwise downloading that image. I won&#x27;t have to pay the author $213 for it, I just take the image because I can. Now I won&#x27;t necessarily &quot;be the original owner&quot; of it or whatever but....I mean....I have the same image as the owner and I have $213 where the new &quot;owner&quot; simply has the image.....<p>Can someone, if such a person exists, that believes in NFT&#x27;s as having actual value please explain it? It just seems to me like a few thousand people have realized &quot;Hey people will literally give me $200 just because I told them to&quot; and are doing it at scale....<p>And according to that website, so far the author of those &quot;NFT&quot;s has made 13 million dollars......Is that true? If this person has made 13 million dollars because they drew a few monkeys....I&#x27;m pretty sure they will be President of the US one day.
