Shit was all a scam. It was trying to get a bunch of dumb people to invest money into something made up and just pull the rug and run away with the cash. It's why so many cryptos never take off because they never get mass backing

There was nothing that a blockchain could do for gaming as a feature that couldn't be done better in other ways unless you absolutely had to have a data layer that relied on distributed trust. It would certainly be possible to implement and could even have some small security benefits to protect against bad actors, but I think it has too much technical overhead. All of the wanking about items transferring between games from different companies has nothing to do with blockchain and more to do with a trusted third-party inventory shared between games. If people wanted such a thing then developers could implement it today using something like steam inventories as a medium.

>>725987197
It was a scam, and never was anything but. The people who started it were just out to make money. The content of the art was irrelevant; it was merely a way to make money. The people who bought into it early on were either also in on the scam, or actual retards who thought they were getting in on the ground floor of a fad. But it didn't gain popularity on a truly large scale because anyone with half a brain realized how absolutely fucking retarded the entire NFT concept was. So you saw a lot of coping and seething from NFT owners because it started to dawn on them that they were going to be left holding the bag, instead of earning bag like the people who started the whole scam

NFTs were supposed to be the next big thing, how come even companies like Square Enix who invested billions of dollars into blockchain technology haven't incorporated NFTs into major projects?
They could've made back their billions and then some by, for example, adding a Bored Ape race into FFXIV where the player character's appearance is determined by the original NFT and impossible to replicate without owning said NFT.

What they were hyping it up to be was that hey, wouldn't it be cool if multiple games were connected together by block chain? So you'd grind in one game to earn one item and you'd use that same item in a different game to progress or try and get something else.

In other words, the absolute worst kind of Pay-2-Win hypothetical scenario possible. With the severe lack of regulation around crypto-currencies, however, most people realized that making a game, let alone connecting multiple games would be a logistical nightmare and that it was much easier to just do the good old fashioned pump and dump scheme, which is illegal. Someone hypes up a stock or in this case a currency, people invest, if enough people invest and say something has value then yes, it has value. Investors clearly know that it's bullshit, but they play along and hope that they can keep it going until they can cash out and then leave the poorer idiots coming in late holding the bag when the scheme collapses. Then they try to play it off with "Hey, it's not my fault you believed me, if you put that much faith in what someone says about a stock, that's on you. You just got unlucky/greedy, dude".

It got so bad at one point that people were trying to stake claims on e-property in virtual game worlds like in Meta when they tried that shit.

It's like a "digital seal of authenticity" that cannot be disputed or counterfeited.

>>725986605
The "ideal" use case for it in gaming is it's an unregulated, unalterable version of a Steam inventory page. It hypothetically protects you from the concept of Valve deciding to close Steam one day and destroying all of your hats. It was also ludicrously expensive in terms of computing power compared to just doing what any non-blockchain inventory tracker does, had no protections from theft (e.g. someone phishes your password and transfers everything in your account to theirs) and cost real money to make transfers, potentially tens or even hundreds of dollars depending on the chain in questions, but the above was the supposed upside

Then people began hyping up pic >>725986941 where you could have single items work in multiple games, and they revealed they didn't understand the first thing about how video games work because nobody is going to support items made in games not their own for no personal profit and gamers don't want to have to grind multiple games for one item in one game

all it is is a mathematical way to prove someone owns something, because everyone on the network keeps the list of who owns what.
so for someone (even government or the people that made the chain) to steal your shit they'd need to change absolutely everyone's list ,unless they steal it the normal way by getting your password)
that's it, that's the whole technology.

then people were like "well X and Y are lists, so they could be BLOCKCHAIN lists instead!?" even when that didn't make sense.
99% of the time you dont need a blockchain, even the shit people were saying with cross-game items didn't require blockchain.
it was the biggest inflation of expectations in modern times, probably even worse than AI.

NFTs are effectively digital trading cards, while the reason AI hasn't been regulated into the absolute fucking ground the way any other "dangerous technology" gets, regardless of chat-bots encouraging people to kill themselves and other stuff that would've gone to immediate tribunal twenty years ago, is because the people that would be regulating it are all using it as a digital crystal ball and don't want it regulated in case the funny words say something good to them.

because NFTs looked ugly, had no purpose besides to be yet another token on another shitcoin cuckchain, and completely disconnected from their perceived value

>>725993659
It was a literal scam with absolutely no function outside of being a scam. AI actually can be used as a tool outside of its scam functionality so it's a much better investment, but it's very close to reaching its ceiling and popping the bubble in two more weeks.

Because AI has immediately apparent returns. Type in prompt, get slop of your choice spit right back out. And it can be anything you want. It won't be good, but it'll be something

I have no interest in the financial scamming part of crypto, I just find the technology very interesting, albeit almost useless.

And the more real money you invest in something like BTC, the more of the empty room you can say you own.

No they don't, [BRAND]s don't need to do a DAMN thing since cattle eat up whatever's in front of them and a 12-pack of coke cans is going to have more tangible influence on a person than a cucka-cola NFT. Don't forget that dozens of corps already tried making their own NFT slop a few years ago when that shit was "big" because it was the lamest version of Pascal's Wager. Doesn't matter if KFC's "bitcoin bucket" was ever going to "appreciate in value" or functionally *do* anything, the whole point was to get a cup in that cash pool and get even a single penny off some retarded nigger customer.

it was pretty funny seeing companies trying to capitalize on NFT's when they were still prevalent in modern discourse, only for ALL projects relating to the blockchain being silently put down; symbiogenesis from squeenix comes to mind. whether or not companies were just trying to appease shareholders by supporting the hot new thing or if they predicted legitimate value in it, looking back at that time's always good for a laugh

You know when you buy something you get a receipt? That's what blockchain is, if only you could ever have the receipt and be proven to own said receipt.
No it does not mean you are proven to own anything but the receipt, and whatever the receipt is for can just be copied/cloned by other people anyways.
Tl;Dr
Bunch of techno-retards thought they were clever by scamming retards into buying receipts.

>>725996785
Way too much cherrypicking. Also, crypto is about to enter a bear market so news like these will keep coming out. Truth is there was a golden era from 2021 - late 2024 where you could've made a fortune with crypto, I know a lot of people who retired by trenching on DeFi. That said, it was always just a grift, a cool infinite money glitch that they already patched.

>>725996947
Crypto is unironically becoming a very convenient way to move money around countries, did you miss BTC reaching 130k recently? Also banks are openly investing and looking into crypto stablecoins to create a sort of global currency, dystopian shit but it's not useless tech. The fucked up thing is when you realize most fiat has no real value and because of it there will be no end to the inflation that's making everyone poor.

>>725997493
I genuinely don't care about what bitfuck is worth. It could be worth 10 quinsquillion USD per full token and I still wouldn't buy into your bullshit.

>>725993659
NFTs were kind of a hard sell to investors. You couldn't really dumb them down to simple terms they can understand. The whole AI craze on the other hand is built on a very, very simple lie.
>We're going to build thinking machines just like in all your favorite science fiction shows!
That's it. That's the sole reason why these companies are valued at something like 15 trillion fucking dollars. You can promise the dumbest boomer investor that you're gonna build smart robots like Rosie from the Jetsons or whatever old show they grew up on that can replace expensive human workers and they'll fall all over themselves throwing money at you.

>>725993585
Not necessarily companionship, rping is just fun, and ai chatbots is just rp that is purely catered and centered around you instead of having to rely or deal with other people.
Cyoa has been populasr for the longest time too, and thats another thing AI is extremely good at recreating (if you have access to a decent model)

BTC isn't bullshit, you can call NFTs and the rest of the metaverse grift bullshit if you want, but very real money is entering crypto. BTC is worth more than several countries currently and is definitely here to stay. By this time next year BTC should bottom out and it'll be a good time to buy some if you want to make some money over the next year, the economy is a very obvious cycle. I know this is unwelcome advice anyway.

I remember when faggots online kept trying to equate the NFT bubble to the AI "bubble" just because le tech le bros kept talking about both of them.

What still baffles me is how bad all of the games are, there is not a single vaguely good idea and it all looks terrible. Even anything produced in crypto like animations and marketing art is just shoddy and poor.

I've been sitting here trying to understand what the fuck this could possibly mean and I think I might be close.

Things like combining factors and formulas only ever scrawled in shit by one guy on an asylum wall, with elements made by mashing other elements together under conditions no one could have ever considered. Like if it turned out throwing a live hamster into a particle accelerator created a ball of infinite energy.

They seem to still be working on it, the website has updated since I last spoke to any of them. Not going to name it because I don't do advertising.

At least those are serving their conceptual purpose of simplifying trade by abstracting a share of the company. Get enough and you get more concrete benefits. The speculation on the openly traded stocks is a consequence of the original purpose.

One is accepted everywhere, the other is accepted almost nowhere. That's about as 'real' as it gets. Fiat currency does not have value, but society at large has agreed that it does, which gives it legitimacy. In the realpolitik sense, it is significantly more real than BTC.

>>726027930
Well most things can be faked. You can print a very convincing copy of a Black Lotus and play it on a table. It functions in the game just the same. Only when inspected does scrutiny show its a fake. Same with art collecting, and that extends to nft art. Anyone can copy it easily down to the pixel but the owner has a way of "verifying" theirs is real

Sounds dumb but most things are dumb if you abstract them enough. People have convinced themselves that cardboard rectangles of Pikachu are worth thousands and devote their entire free time to collecting them.

Because beneath all the scams, crypto does serve a purpose. Despite the article being written around debunking the "cash being banned" exaggerations, but even in the article trying to make it sound like no big deal you can see the potential problems:
>From 2027, buying a car in cash is not automatically a crime, but it could be an illegal transaction depending on who you buy it from.

>For example, if you're looking to buy a car over €10,000 from a dealership, they can't legally accept that amount in cash. You could, however, still buy the vehicle via bank transfer or card.

>Otherwise, Europeans will still be able to save, hold and withdraw any amount of cash they like. Daily transactions, for coffee and groceries, for example, will remain unaffected. So it's incorrect to suggest that the EU is killing cash.

>As the new regulation largely impacts transactions involving businesses, two private individuals will still be able to buy and sell something up to any amount using cash, unless a given member state already has stricter national limits. Some EU countries, such as Italy, already limit cash transactions between private individuals.

>The main change under the new regulations is that large cash payments to businesses will be capped at €10,000. Businesses won't be able to accept an amount of cash above this threshold.
The world is increasingly moving towards monitoring all your transactions. Crypto gives you more control over your money and how it's spent. Yes, illegal stuff is a big use for that, but anyone who doesn't want to risk their wealth being tightly controlled in the future can see the value of it.

Most of crypto can be monitored as well, and is in fact more public than anything else. But private crypto options have a purpose at least, and Bitcoin needs to exist as the stable reserve asset for the crypto ecosystem.

99% is worthless scams tho

>>726028772
Btc is 100k we're still waiting for you to be right, dumbass

Crypto solves a lot of problems that deal with centralization. Visa, MC and PayPal censoring games? Bitcoin fixes that.

In terms of games, it fixes the issue that the publisher controls your ingame data, items, character, whatever

>>726025709
The difference is people actually wanted hats and skins because they had a use in a game they actually play
Sure you will get speculators but without people wanting the items in a game that is played you end up with how NTFs went. Useless shit only for investors and retards.

>>726028820
>The world is increasingly moving towards monitoring all your transactions.

to be fare, I have had steam inventory items that have been poofed by Valve.

IMO even if a game closes down, you should be allowed to keep your items. Those are little trophies for me. I like having them.

Alts are way more selective about which ones pump now. Shit that would've gone to 1B+ market caps easily in previous cycles struggles to get over 200m now. There's simply too many alts now - and more every day - so you can't have the same "alt seasons" where every coin pumps together. Congrats on holding the right ones, but you can be holding something that isn't dumb and still not be making any money off it.

>>725986605
Do you trust Valve, Epic, EA etc with your ingame items? Or are you OK with them being deleted, or do you get bored with games and don't care about your item collections and shit? Then you don't need to care about blockchain. Few people care about these things or feel effected by them.

If you don't trust authority and want to have custody of the things you earn in games, or the right to trade or sell them, then blockchain offers a lot that official/regulated/centralized platforms can't. Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is just stupid and doesn't understand.

it's all manipulated, you know that right? nobody is actually using these things. not even BTC and ETH is being used (not counting using ETH for altcoints/tokens existing inside ethereum, it's so dumb).
and Tether is backed by literally nothing, they print USD out of thin air. they don't have $183,924,107,571 in some vault somewhere. i'm surprised the US government haven't gone after them for printing money to be honest.

>>726031550
Of course, all markets are manipulated. But you're wrong about some things. ETH is actually being used, expecially in defi, and tether isn't printed out of nothing. Market makers give money to tether in exchange for the same sum in tether. When they do, new tether is minted. Where do you think they get the usdt needed to trade at high volume on exchanges like binance etc? Buying it from you? lol. You're believing poor people from reddit instead of thinking for a moment.

I wonder how NTFs market would look like if these pictures weren't so ugly

>>726030356
Save up and wait for an opportunity. I don't know whencrypto will tank super hard again. I spent a few hundred funding an account on binance around 2019, and spent way way too many sleepless nights paying attention to teh charts and doing little microtrades. Eventually I felt confident enough to be able to tell what would pump and what wouldn't, and I bought low and got lucky.

While everyone was crying about ETH and power consumption, and suddenly crypto because this partisan issue that everyone on twitter was seething about, that was the best time to get involved and start buying things that were cratered. That got me alot of money then I got involved in defi which was more risky but again, doing little microtrades, the wins were way bigger than the losses. It was hard work and stress at the time but atleast I don't have to work anymore.

>>726032452
it was these ugly pictures, constant spam ads on social media from bots and losers trying to get everyone to buy their own version of them, and also a whole media cycle about how crypto had a high power draw. Combine that with innate jealousy and you had the perfect cocktail for people to hate it

>>726031550
>it's all manipulated, you know that right?
Obviously most of it is manipulated to hell and back. That has nothing to do with my post though. You can't manipulate 1000s of alts up to 1B+ like you could with 100s, and as a trader it's harder to know which will be manipulated. So making money off of it becomes harder, manipulated or not.

NFT game licenses. You can bring your video game library with you to any digital storefront. You validate ownership of the game and they'll let you download it from there.

IMO gaming communities and profiles should be federated anyway. I can only show steam achievements and playtime on my steam profile. I can only add Steam users to it. Steam's chat features suck. I would like to show if I'm playing my gog games and other stuff too. If Steam ever starts censoring the community as hard as the UN wants it to, then I'd want to be able to pack up my profile and set up somewhere else.

Crypto genuinely isn't usable for everyday transactions because of the power and time requirements used to process a single transaction, and most exchanges and chains want you to pay a fag tax anyway that just goes up the ass of the chain/exchange holder, it's just a carbon-copy of the shitty economy we have today except there's NO privacy, NO protection rights and ALL of the power is concentrated in the biggest holders. No one can just drop a picture of child porn or your dox into your bank account, unlike a crypto wallet where there's no confirmation step for receiving transfers. Also, no one can just drop a MALWARE BOMB in your bank account that you actually cannot interact with in any way (even to delete) without it draining your entire stash, unlike a crypto wallet.

You missed the topic anon. People assign value and authority to things in illogical ways.

I can gen a shiny of any pokemon and trade it to you. It is byte by byte identical to a "legit" one. Does that stop people from spending thousands of hours of their youth shiny-hunting? Some Louie-Vitton knockoffs are almost indistinguishable, but people desperately want the real ones. You and I could print our own vintage mtg decks and have fun playing, but if we did so in the wrong venue, we'd be kicked out because a company says there's only a right way to play the game.

All of these are examples of ways that people share hallucinations about authority and legitimacy that aren't natural. NTFs are the same way. People who strongly believed in crypto wanted those collectibles. Not saying it's smart, but they gaslit themselves into believing that narrative likely how you do for the above examples.

In crypto's case its basing it on strong encryption and a decentralized network as opposed to a centralized authority

>>726043810
strong encryption only helps the chain from having shit injected into it, it doesn't protect from the myriad of easier to pull off fraud that happens daily still, and the "decentralized" part of the decentralized network is for all intents and purposes a mirage
chain holders can rollback or fork the chain whenever they want like when they got fucked in 2016 and had to force ETH classic, they are the only ones that *actually* have any sort of protection when it comes to holding digital tokens pretending to be currency, the fact a chain can even fork and create an irreparable fundamental schism in the first place is an absurd red flag for anyone looking to store their actual holdings and not just speculative unregulated security "investments"
