in 5-10 years someone will bump this thread and it'll be like the bitcoin thread being bumped in 2017. y'all been warned.

What’s stoping someone from coping the code/encryption and saying, “No..THIS is the original!”? Plagiarism is my main concern with this.

I don't think it matters since it is all logged on the blockchain so you can always tie it back to the real owner..

Just freestyling here... Think of game developers. Maybe they’ll release a finite number of limited edition expansion packs for a game. Those with the NFT can then use it or sell it. And every transfer of ownership can have a small kickback to the developer. Maybe GME can find a way to establish a resale marketplace for digital game titles?
Again, just trying to throw concepts out there to help people think beyond Top Shot and memes. There’s something here...

As someone who's been looking to take photography more seriously this could be a god send. Minted my first Photo yesterday using the Open Sea App.
there was an initial charge to mint the first being around $40+ at the time (its based on the price of ETH so it varies) & i believe it's free to mint afterwards

Read a bit on the elephant in the room y'all. Just be conscious on what we'll do for money nowadays. I know we all want to make a quick buck, but there's repercussions doing so. Hoping the platforms can move more to a proof-of-stake

NFTs Are Hot. So Is Their Effect on the Earth’s Climate
The sale of a piece of crypto art consumed as much energy as the studio uses in two years. Now the artist is campaigning to reduce the medium’s carbon emissions.

i just wanna know where silva got the hoodie from... as a creative, there's something about scale. seeing monet's water lilies online paled in comparison to seeing the triptych in person. seeing kehinde wiley's work in front of my face, warhol, hebru brantley's work. we can look online all we want, but until you see things in person, you won't get the full concept of the work, that a human did this massive scaled piece of work. there's a reason people cry at the rothko chapel, surrounded by the work from his black period, online/digital art is nice, but it could never give me that feeling, that emotion that allows me to cathect & relate.

what i dont understand is..lets say you have a copy of a photo, you are not the person who took the photograph but you happen to have a copy of the photo. Can't you just make your own NFT with it? and whoever else owns a copy of the photo can do the same. so how do you know which NFT is the original lol im confused

Duplicates without it arent worth the same.
Its about the official certificate.

Very helpful read to understand the concept behind NFT: https://justincone.com/posts/nft-skeptics-guide/
Assuming the photo is taken by a famous photographer, the token would be able to show whether the photo was issued directly by or at least originated from the photographer. Yes you can mint an unofficial copy of a famous photo but it won't be valued anywhere near a copy issued directly from the photographer. Anyone can dig into the metadata to show where the photo came from.
I don't like framing the NFT concept around photos/images because I think it limits our imagination to the other possibilities. At the same time, these NFT art marketplaces are proving the concept that people value verifiable, original authentics - both physical and digital.

First got hip to these once the NBA topshot started to pop off & initially thought these things have no real value to them, but most markets have "no value" outside of what people are willing to value them at.
Also i do agree about the difference between seeing a real art piece up close as opposed to online, however artist are starting to do things with online work that just can't be relicated in the physical that are equally amazing

I could, but better to hear from the experts. It's basically a ledger that keeps transactions and is extremely difficult to change/disrupt. This prevents tampering.
Here's the simplest video...

Everyone should read that (or watch the video above). When you understand blockchain you’ll understand why it’s way harder to steal or scam in the NFT world compared to a lot of the things we normally buy/own/use/sell. And that makes them even more attractive.

Just buy what you like and want to own that isn't ridiculously expensive. If you like trading cards, go after those packs, if you like Top Shot, go have fun. Don't sit here and drop 50k though and try to make a come up. The idea of NFTs will be here forever, but the prices of these assets are insane.

NFT art makes more sense to me than the NBA Topshot cards/moments.
