yeah, those aren't actually mutually exclusive. but I enjoy the idea that NFT people are essentially claiming to have effortlessly resolved one of the thorniest existential questions in philosophy by choosing an answer that makes them money today.
this isn't a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme is where you pay old investors with new investors money. This is more selling magic beans on the side of the road to everyone stupid enough to buy them
Every cryptocurrency ultimately amounts to paying old investors with new investors money: PW because early blocks are easier to mine, and PS because that's literally what defines a 'stake'. NFTs are just kind of a side bet on the base Ponzi scheme.
idk, its mentioned multiple times that you are half in one place and half in the other. if your consciousness exists in two points at the same time and can still interact with both parts, i dont think it kills you as it slowly transfers itself to one place.
Owning a picture of the Mona Lisa isn't the same as owning the Mona Lisa :very-intelligent:
Imagine being an NFT loser and being traumatized by Star Trek because you think the characters die every time they get beamed up.
(Just to be clear, this isn't directed at you. I'm building on your dunk.)
I think NFTs are dumb, but I also do think everyone dies when they're beamed up.

That's fair, there's no limit to how much NFT people need to be dunked and/or shit on

Ah it's been a long time and I never watched a ton of it.
its not traumatizing it's just a fact and it doesn't change anything, still a sentient me-ish creature, the same as next-month me will be
Like our body chemistry is constantly replacing us al la ship of Theseus anyways, just slower than a teleporter does.

It’s a digital record on a hypothetically permanent data structure that you paid to have that digital record recorded!
