In reality, the odds would be worse than this as the number of non-empty wallet is far smaller than the 18 million bitcoin. Still, better odds than England winning the Ashes
As a side note, a lot of countries and big tech firms are sinking billions into quantum computing. China has invested 15 billion.

have you seen the energy consumption of the blockchain?
also, at this stage people are minting NFTs of art that they don't even own, so not only are they making money of the back of others' work, they are actively preventing the original artist that same opportunity.
It is a huge money laundering scam

While there is an abundance of nonsense there are some great projects out there
Some of the biggest contemporary artists are NFTers.
Beeple and Pak have both sold works in excess of $100m.
Lots of innovation within the metaverse going on too, making online virtual galleries where artists control the gateway.
I'm launching a poroject quite s00n , so stay tuned for that. If you are history fan you'll love it.

Virtual galleries are just a way for someone to curate digital content
...as NFTs also prove ownership, then it can also act as a flex.
Maybe interactive experiences can be made on top.

most of the biggest contemporary artists aren't
NFTs aren't artwork, they aren't ownership of art. they are an unregulated register of ownership of a virtual token referring to a single instance of a digital file.
(artificially inflated prices are already a feature of the art trade - it's a really telling indicator of money laundering - not a good thing)
online virtual art galleries already exist in many forms
real art can be hung on walls. I'd be interested to know how many NFTs assets have been printed out and framed

I kind-of understand people collecting them in
the same way I still buy MP3s, and collect badges on things like Duolingo. Virtually owning makes sense.
I even quite like the idea of people owning virtual art galleries (even if most NFTs are tasteless shit).
People willing to pay for art is great.
It's the blockchain stuff, though. I can't see how it adds anything except perhaps making people buy a hacker image off-the-shelf without actually having to be smart.
And the movement is full of fash libertarian cunts, too.

Ignoring the quality of the work,
and all the copyright theft, they are surely paying for art in the same way as paying for an mp3 is.
It's giving money to be able to go "this one is in my collection", even though you could just illegally download / stream and give the person who made it nothing.
I mean, I still don't know *why* you would (there is so much awful stuff about them), but I suspect a big market is in people at an age where they want to express a personality via the media they consume. Paying for things does increase that feeling of ownership.
Professional dealers buying them just shows what a load of bollocks the art market has always been.

because the ownership model is different to mp3
if you legally download a song you have rights to play that file.
an NFT does not confer ownership of the image. You get to register that you 'own' that one digital instance of the file (not a download).
The register is unregulated and unenforceable, and gives you no control over what you 'own'. So in a very real and legal sense, you don't.
(, Tue 21 Dec 2021, 14:23, Reply)
Yeah, but you still curate a personal collection.
You can then show them off to other people who care.
Surely people buying them know what they are buying by now, so legal ownership can't be why they are doing so (and my question is why are they doing so, not why are they shit).
Admittedly, Pokemon might have been a better example than mp3. People like to collect things and follow fads.

Decentralized Finance is probably the strongest usecase
...u effectively turn a piece of digital art into a yield bearing instrument, that can be collateralized (according to whatever User X will pay for it) and borrowed against, fractionalized, lent out, etc.
Other uses include
- to pass on royalties or copyright (could be useful not just for art, but music as well)
- a ticketing system, or proof of attendance
- pair NFTs with physical assets, to give digital representations or ownership rights
- gaming , eg. ownership of in-game assets/items
NFTs are just smart contracts, that essentially execute if / when rules.

I’m a digital artist/illustrator myself
and NFT’s are the scourge of all online discourse on this at the moment. Scammers taking other people’s work. Fuckwits offering tediously implausible get rich quick schemes, and the odd middle aged woman thinking she’s at the cutting edge because she scanned a bad acrylic painting of a horse.
Of course it’s all bullshit - there’s no audience. Who looks at NFTs because they want to see art? Nobody.
I’d be very interested to see a bit of digging into the actual reality of these massive prices. Is it actually the case that this Beeple guy now has access to $100m dollars? And it’s now removed from the system and just in his bank account? Great for him if true, but I smell bullshit

Beeple raised $69m thru one piece
But Sotheby's took a good portion of that.
He probably still has close o $100m thru his other sales though. The valuation is crazy, but equally, the artistic endevour is also quite impressive. He created something every day, for 5000 days. What have you done every day for 5000 days?
Sure, some internet character who got stupid rich from cryptocurrency certainly overpaid for it. But is it any more bizzare than an owner of a car company or online bookshop planning to colonize outer space?
