NFTs

@ruihildt I guess that's the point of all contracts, finding two parties with the same belief for a complimentary exchange and immutable record of agreement of those beliefs at that time.

There are some amazing stories of auctions for digital items as NFTs with 7 figure outcomes. People are excited about the potential. Even betting on future events.

@jdaviescoates Nice read and onward links! Thanks for sharing! The developer of Loomio too, so makes more sense of his thinking, experience and open-source sharing too.

Just going to go ahead and throw this here: https://web0.small-web.org

I'm 100% ready for the NFT and crypto craze to die off. "Decentralized" tech that prioritizes and encourages profit is not good for the open web.

@atridad I read that Monero is the only crypto in the top 300 coins that's actually private by default — the rest is just giving away public analytics for your transactions.

@marcusquinn Fair enough. Idk maybe I'm unnecessarily skeptical but I cant help but see crypto and NFTs as one giant money-making scheme.
