    There are two things this video forgot to address in regards to NFTs 1. Gas and minting fees, they are high, and volitile and it seems to me the only people who are safely making money from NFTs are the ones in charge of that. 2. NFT does not legaly bind anyone to owning anything, There is no ties to copywright or any other legal way of defining ownership using them.

    • @GeorgeHashesThoughts
      @GeorgeHashesThoughts ปีที่แล้ว +9

      This couldn’t be further from the truth, it binds by all means legally since the ownership of the token is registered in a public immutable ledger. Of course you can get sued. Whether you are pro or anti crypto NFTs etc, it’s a indisputable proof of ownership.

      @@GeorgeHashesThoughts Do you understand the maxim of law "no tertium quid" (no third way)?
      What that says is that, to have enforceable legal ownership over a thing, there are only two options: a chose in possession or a chose in action. "Chose" is a French word meaning "thing", so it is "ownership of a thing via possession" or "ownership of a thing via the right to bring an action in court". A $100 is an example of a thing that you own because you possess it. As soon as the person who gives it to you lets go of it, you own it. Problem is, you don't possess any part of an NFT in this way - only the private key that controls it. A chose in action CAN be had over a ledger asset. Land title is a good example, but that's because of the land title act (in your specific jurisdiction). There's no blockchain act or NFT act that gives you this kind of right in ownership.
      Most people are confusing "control" and "ownership". They are not the same thing at all.
      The UK Law Commission has been looking at this problem for some time, trying to get around the no tertium quid problem. It's a real issue.

      I completely agree. Also anything that was mentioned as a “use case” in this video can also be done with current tech. Also Blockchain isn’t decentralised either, if you have enough money (let’s say a government that wants control over a Blockchain network) you can either own more machines (bypass proof of work) or buy more stake (bypass proof of stake) so the whole model is broken, more money wins more ground. At least no one can “own” the current internet

      As for decentralization, I can't be sure completely as I'm not knowledgeable enough on blockchain and crypto, but it sounds reasonable to me. If Satoshi and/or Winklevoss twins or other big holders can get the majority stake - they're basically controlling the blockchain if I understand it correctly. And they're not regulated and can even be completely anonymous.

    The refund policy concept is poorly thought out, a company can easily put in their terms of service something akin to "Refunds of goods purchased with BTC, will be refunded equivalent to their original USD price at time of purchase".

    • @pharoah327
      @pharoah327 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Actually I think you are the one not thinking this through. The price of bitcoin (and all alt coins) fluctuates within milliseconds and is reported differently by different exchanges. At the exact same moment in time, one exchange may report $10,000.00, another $10,001.00, another $10.005.56, and so on. And I'm just showing it rounded to the nearest cent when actually decimal places go further than that. So which exchange do you trust? Will customers argue that the price was different at time of purchase? You may say that the differences are only a few bucks but I've seen people argue with Walmart when their refund is a few pennies short of what they think it should be. Large merchants will mostly just tell customers to deal but small merchants that rely on every customer will get screwed by these discrepancies and will ultimately lose business because of it.

      @@pharoah327 you raise a good point, but further terms and conditions would obviously hammer out those other details, “refunds will be equivalent to their USD price, on Coinbase at the blockchain timestamped time of txn” (or any exchange but just to specify a value), alternatively, depending on the purchase, you’d assume the vast majority of places would accept cash & crypto, therefore if you bought a shirt Bitcoin and want to return it, you’d be returned the USD price they were charging for the shirt at the time. However, I will say that in general, I’m against Bitcoin as a payment system, 7tps can’t handle the global economy, it’s better off as the niche store of value/speculative asset.

    Even if there was slight use cases for NFTs the state of the market has removed most peoples ability to take it seriously. The gimmick of owning digital art isn’t strong enough to have a valuation anywhere near the amount the speculative market puts it at. A lot of the functionality people argue as a selling point for NFTs is already possible without the blockchain without really adding any real value just for being apart of the blockchain. Crypto and NFTs at this point are to me people trying desperately to be ahead of the next big thing without realising the market is held up on stilts with little practical value.

We're so fast to jump on the next profitable concept that we disregard fundamentals in the process.

No copyright ownership of actual art comes with that token. Try to sue someone for using picture you "own" through NFT and see how quickly you will be laughed out of court.

    Backed currency is a horrible idea, whether it being gold-backed or having a cap on crypto due to the simply fact that government spending is inherently inflationary - which is why many/most modern nations ditched it for fiat currency instead. When you have a finite supply of something giving the currency it's "value," means that every time the government net spends causes it' currency to have less value. This makes it extremely difficult to do stimulus spending in the case of an economic downturn, like a recession or even worse - a depression. This is why when nations in these positions would usually suspend the gold-standard, like when it came to the New Deal and the rampant amount of gov spending leading up to an during WWII. With a system such as ours in the US, which is a fiat free-floating currency system, government spending isn't inherently inflationary. When the fed government has the monopoly over the creation of new currency, with the central bank, (the Fed), being the intermediary between the Treasury and the private market, fiat currency systems allow for massive amounts of direct government spending, and if targeted correctly and depending on the state of the economy - it can do so without much - if any inflation. This is due to the increase of economic output which can eat away the inflationary potential. Of course, if you get to a point where the economy is chugging along with full employment, and yet the Gov continues massive amounts of spending, you'll get to the point where there are simply too many dollars chasing too few goods, which can definitely cause hyper-inflation.
    The other thing that can cause inflation/hyperinflation even in a fiat free-floating currency system such as our own: is if say the governmental spending is targeted toward things that don't produce anything of real world value in the economy, whether it be physical goods or services, and is instead spent on corporations doing stock buy-backs and other forms of financial speculation, now that has a shit ton more inflationary potential. Due the lack of any economic output, and yet a massive influx of new currency into the economy. Which is of course what has happened to the US the last couple years. Most of the massive economic recovery spending under Trump first and then Biden second, and not nearly enough financial aid/support for the poor and working class, which allowed massive corporations and he rich in general, to just save that money or do massive stock buy-backs, this made the economic recovery extremely slow and extremely unequal because it didn't go toward purchasing anything with any real-world value, therefore rendering the stimulating effect - significantly neutered. Then you had many major corporations who made or were making record-breaking profits since Covid, began artificially raising their prices, which lead to smaller corps being forced to raise their prices as well, which when combined with everything else - is what lead to the current inflation. It did not have to do specifically with the government spending itself. A perfect example of this was Obama's econ recession-recovery stim-spending, (though paling in comparison to the amount of spending both Trump and Biden have done, (because the economic downturn as a result of economic shutdown over Covid - was going to far-far greater than even the 08 housing market crash that caused that recession), it still was nearly 800 billion dollars, and yet it didn't having any major inflationary impact whatsoever! None of this would work of course, if the US had their currency pegging to a foreign currency or if it didn't have a monopoly on the creation of new dollars.

    I don't understand how an NFT proves you own the quilt. What if you burn the quilt, or sell it, but still own the NFT. Or what if someone hacks your Metamask and steals the NFT but you still own the real quilt? The NFT does NOT prove ownership of a physical object in the real world.

      You are correct, technology is already at our feet and keeps getting better and adoption seems to be rapid as well. AI on the hand is also getting the public views and opinions and some projects like AIwork are also keeping us in the loop about how blockchain directly affects the use of AI. Won't be easy working these machines but will be worth it in the end.

My wallet address is anonymous as long as I don't publicize it after all. When I steal someone's art, there are no repercussions, and realistically nothing the original artist can do when they find out because it's not them who are written in the code as the original owner, I am.

    The utility in crypto is the ease and cost of sending large amounts of money.
    You can send a million dollars in minutes, try doing that at a bank and it’s the biggest pain in the backside ever. The value isn’t in small transactions but very large ones.

      Nfts are proof of ownership mechnism. It's often used for the ownership of an address which then points to a jpeg but the technology can expand beyond that.
      You can apply this to other methods of ownership. They've been used with physical products to verify ownership and authenticity.
      I've seen even more useful cases where NFT applications allow you to tokenize a stake and sell the ownership of that stake in the form of an nft. You can then sell the ownership of that stake. This opens up a lot of possibilities in an ecosystem. This is all done in a trustless manner with no middlemen intervention to perform the action.
