| NFTs btw have plenty of uses, just most of the ones out there
| getting attention IMO don't. Most of the NFTs now are like
| trading cards, at least the successful ones. Why is there so
| much hate for digital trading cards?
|
| As for actual productive uses of NFT, personalized tokens that
| sell time are one. Several prominent people in the space have
| self tokenized and sell hours as tokens. Linking NFTs to real
| assets also shows promise. It makes sense for proof of
| ownership a large, immutable record of ownership.
|
| NFTs could additionally enable individuals to sell many goods
| and services with the built-in benefit of price discovery.
| Let's say I'm an instagram influencer, instead of selling posts
| through a broker who takes a large cut, I tokenize them and
| sell them online. If my price is too high, no one buys them. If
| my price is too low, the market gives me information about how
| much I should actually charge.

|
| No it doesn't. I wouldn't want my house tradeable on NFT's
| and it causes more problems for something that's already been
| solved.
|
| Like crypto coins it lacks a central authority and legal
| consequences. It's a nice fantasy though.
|
| Additionally, there are plenty of marketplaces to sell
| products and services. So they aren't solving any problem.
|
| No Amazon that is doing a lot of real world marketing and
| spending money for that will give much "power to others" that
| won't help them succeed ...
|
| Ever.
|
| At most, if any would really get popular ( i doubt that),
| marketplaces will drop their rates and that's it. But this
| ain't a replacement for eg. The app store either. Since the
| delivery of a product or service is the easy part. There's a
| lot of functionality not included in NFT'S, eg. Update of
| Software or screenshots from a computer screen to proof they
| spend 10 hours on the service.
|
| All there is now, is a link to an URL...
|
| It's the whole blockchain vs crypto thing. If there idea
| becomes interesting, it will be developed per country, will
| not be decentralized or based on top of ethereum.
