I dont understand how techbros cant see the difference between the provenance of a digital file and the provenance of a physical object in physical reality?
A file remains the exact same at all times and can be transferred or copied nigh instantly, it doesnt change in hue or pick up a unique flavour from the type of hard drive its stored on, it doesnt get stinkier. There is literally no purpose to its provenance because you can get the identical thing with literally no hassle.
As opposed to a real object which has to move through space with physical transportation, which based on this transportation and storage will change and become unique or harder to replicate without an equivalent process in time and space. Christ I swear these are the kind of people that think you could be uploaded to the internet and it would be just like the real world except shiny and neon, absolute baby brains, theres no other way you could find people who dont understand the difference between physical limited reality and digital formats and files.
But surely they must understand what physical space and reality is? Surely no one can be so indoctrinated into bullshit economics and capitalism that they think they can just transplant factors of physical reality into digital space and think it works the same because its just a product?

Read society of the spectacle. I didn't understand it but maybe I will and I bet it will be relevant :very-smart:
I don't think it matters. I'm pretty sure it's just a get-rich-quick scheme, they don't really believe in the NFTs themselves, they believe it will gain in value because it's crypto-related and they will become crypto milionaires. It's a gold rush, everyone wants to be the first one to adopt the next bitcoin before it blows up and be set for life.
I think a lot of them do, they're just desperately hoping other people don't, so they can sell their license to brag about having paid twice the average worker's paycheck to say they own a jpg for 10 or 100 times what they bought it for.

Ditching that fancy "provenance" word whatever it means; paying an artist for their work and the copyrights of it makes sense, but this is not that.
