Getting in a debate this morning with a buddy who thinks NFT's are retarded and worthless and just ponzi schemes.

Says they have "no intrinsic value" and can "just be copied by anyone" and that proof of ownership is irrelevant because it's not a physical item. Doesn't seem to care that anyone can copy the mona lisa as well.

Not sure how to get through to him that just because he thinks it's dumb and doesn't assign value to digital ownership of art, doesn't mean everyone does.

Sure most NFT's will go to 0, but not all of them will, and their value isn't entirely determined by people who think they are stupid.

I agree with your friend. Unless the nft grants you access to something unique, like an in game item, it's grift

I disagree, art is art. Doesn't matter to me whether it's on a digital canvas or a physical one.

@127 doesn't seem to feel grifted and in fact seems to enjoy collecting NFT's without being sure if he'll profit or lose on them in the end. There's of people like that out there. These things have value to people.

Retardation is prevalent in the space. It's not a very good supportive argument. But if you feel this way buy some more and hope for them to appreciate. And if they don't at least you can look at them on your phone when you need a pick me up

I don't like speculating on NFT's at all, I think most will go to 0.

Another point I just made to him is "What if a famous artist released an NFT collection, would they be worthless?" What if da vinci, or banksy, etc, released an NFT collection? People would value them. They would retain their value and appreciate, actually. Doesn't matter that they can be "copy pasted", there's still digital provenance attached to the originals, there's still true ownership.
