    Just realised how nonsense this all is!

    Battling to get on whitelists or to beat bots to purchase something that's "limited edition" yet the creator has made tens of thousands of them. It makes the buyer feel special but really it's just taking the piss!

    Meanwhile to create and sell these products we're fucking up the environment. Fakes and exploitation are rife.

    Are these REALLY collectibles? Are they worth their initial cost or even the price that ultra hype brings?

    Then we've got hip hop celebs, sports stars and athletes getting involved all releasing their own ranges or special editions.

    • Only sell NFTs, never buydrgs
    • NFts are speculation & conspicuous consumption laid bare. That's why they're a great comparison and mirror to all lesser forms.palimpsest

    • My trainers smell kinda fungible.mort_

    • It’s early days of this new tech and ecosystem. Give it time to iron out the creases. The underlying concept is valid, to make a digital item non fungible.shapesalad
    • Don’t dismiss it too soon. Instead find a way to navigate it and play it, as you’re early and it’s a rare chance to build a reputation in a new sector.shapesalad
    • In regards to nft. Sneakers are plastic shit. Get proper leather shoes and look after them, will last you a life time.shapesalad
    • NFTs are a flip game and hot potato. People making bank though, but will definitely be some heavy losers.BH26
    • ask anyone outside of your circle if they know what a nft is...ArchitectofFate

    • bots are jackin up prices and purchasing sneakers ? any links that substantiate that claim ?neverscared
    • "The underlying concept is valid, to make a digital item non fungible." As well as that may be, that is absolutely not what NFTs can ever (ever) promise.Nairn
