In Response to My first impressions of Web3
This response is technical and appears a little naive to me. The reason why NFTs are currently hot is because there&#x27;s a gold rush and people fear missing out. I don&#x27;t think anyone who buys an NFT wants that NFT; they just hope to flip it for more money than they spent, or maybe diversify their portfolio (use it as a store of value). I could be wrong of course, but I seriously doubt it.<p>Which means, the technical solutions to the questions raised in the original article this responds to, will probably not have time to be implemented before the rush is over.<p>Also, one of the main points of the first article, if not the main one (and certainly the first one) is that <i>centralization is a feature, not a bug</i>. People want a central authority and not bother themselves with running their own server&#x2F;infrastructure.<p>So the only way for OpenSea to &quot;die&quot; is if it&#x27;s replaced by a different, but similar, central authority.
