As a digital artist one of my biggest concerns about NFTs is art thieves. I wouldn't want people getting tons of money off of art that I spent hours on, and wasn't planning on selling.
the smallest thing you could do to piss them off is to screenshot the nft that "they own", and joke like "guys look i do nft's now lolololol" what would they do? say to delete the screenshot? its originally made by you anyway
Exactly, it shows no ownership at all. It just means you purchased a digital replica to look at or listen too. It literally has no value other than someone else paid that much for it once before. However as an artist and being able to go through companies that mint the art and track the sales giving me a percentage of each sale is fantastic until the hype dies out. All it takes is one piece of your art making it into a rich collecting group where they fight over the rarest of the your minted works.
But realize the hype is generated by these companies minting stuff... The hype never was "rich people" investing like a stock... They invested into it to create the hype... It will be a short lived thing like beanie babies as these companies can only sucker so many people to play the losing game of paying to mint art... Some parts of the market might stand through it because of sports using it like animated ball cards. Beyond that i don't really see much of a reason outside of collecting. Its a question of how many fans a specific nft market can keep, end of story.
So NFTs don’t really have value for what it is, they only have value for what people give it. Which is why in the months since this video was posted nfts went from stuff like the first tweet to a couple thousand random drawings of a monkey
@@sonnykensenhuis8562 Kind of like that but if you own one of those for example some companies use ownership of one of their nft's as an exclusive membership card into a private group that hosts events with members only. And since some have a minimum purchase requirement of around 200k its pretty inclusive
Yes the value is only what people are willing to pay. I treat it kind of like comic or sports trading. So if it’s a drawing by an artist that I already collect in the tangible world. I find it amazing ( through nostalgia) that I own the first digital print of Spider-Man #1 or my Lebron James moment. I see more video games implementing NFTs into gameplay as well. When I play XBox and purchase a skin or certain weapon this is essentially an NFT . I can see game makers creating many items with rarity involved in the future. Then they will all set up secondary market places where players can buy, sell or trade these items. Imagine a COD market place where you could buy an item that gives you even a slight edge over your competitors… and this is just one example. it’s mind boggling how big NFTs will get. The NFT market is in it infancy stage kind of like Bitcoin in 2016 with implications to dwarf crypto in marketcap size and user adoption. Happy trading… 😊🚀

There are a bunch of Artists I follow who are deeply effected by this. One in particular is against NFTs because of the geoimpact, and some one, or group of persons are taking her art and making NFTs of it against her will. it just brutal. And there doesn't seem to be any way to hold these people accountable because it's so decentralized.
as an artist, that genuinely sounds so annoying and sad. imagine putting your hard work and skills, finally having a piece you're proud of then posting it to your social media account but a random person just steals it and has the potential to PROFITS off of it.
Artists can make a slogan im digital art they make that acts like a watermark showing the person who made it in reality against NFT. Lhotoshop #NFTScheme or something over a tattoo or beard.
I agree with most of that, but I do dislike when people talk about the geo-impacts of blockchains. Why is the focus always on this new technology disrupting things and causing climate change and not on the fossil fuel plants literally polluting out the CO2? As civilization advances, more and more electricity will be consumed, and blockchains are just a part of that new future.
I wish you brought up how nft's created a boom in art theft where people were selling things they didn't own and didn't make, like how many artists have found their work being sold on nft websites without their permission, or even their knowledge and receiving 0% of the money from the sales
The thing I don't get though, is they don't have a physical copy of it. It's like if I posted a photo on facebook, and someone tried to sell it. Well, on Facebook it's a super low, shitty resolution, whereas the original in my computer is 40MB of raw detail, that the buyer nor the seller have.
Anyone else just feels like Johnny's explainer content is one of the most creative on the platform? I’m always left wondering how he makes the most “mundane” topics seem so fascinating
That’s why it’s better to own something physical like gold. They cant make gold magically disappear or change its amount. 1lb of gold will always be 1lb of gold
@@paulshaju2806 Except, gold is a real, physical, finite commodity with tangible utility. It cannot be replicated or mass produced at will, therefore it will always be rare, and since value is associated with rarity, it will always be valuable.
@@ntuthuko3175 it has utility but if you think about it almost every mineral or metal has utility. What I'm trying to say is that gold is definitely rare but why is rare considered valuable? It's because of human perception On the other hand why is food or grain considered valuable it's because it's human need it's a necessity Gold is not a necessity we can live without gold Real necessity is food ,clothing etc And these were a lot more valuable than gold during early ages

I outbid @@thomasduffyjr by ฿1! 😉 (That's 3 US cents. I don't know why Johnny used the baht symbol to represent Bitcoin. I hope that's not what the cryptonutters are doing.)
One thing about NFTs that's rarely explained well is that NFT's are essentially a reciept of ownership. In other words, if you buy a jpeg as an NFT, you don't own that jpeg. What you own is a public receipt indicating ownership of the jpeg, and a link to that image. You own metadata. The image itself is NOT hosted on the blockchain. Because of this, while nobody can change the ledger indicating that you own the jpeg, somebody CAN change the image itself, or simply erase it. If the domain that's hosting the link goes offline, or if the owner of the domain changes the image, as the owner of the NFT, there's nothing you can do about it. Blockchain is impressive technology, but NFTs are a scam. Don't buy the hype.
I'm still fairly ignorant on the subject, but one of my issues is this concept of NFT's being infallible proof of ownership or something. There is no such thing.
@@catisreckless4647 well, listen to your hunch that perhaps you are ignorant. This guy is right that NFT's are a scam, but the method and technology for proof that you own "it" are sound, provided the blockchain itself is sound. In order for a transaction to be approved on the blockchain, the entire (or perhaps only a majority of 51%) need to approve it. Even if you manage to defraud one part of the system, the rest of it immediately recognizes the transaction as fraudulent. And when it is a cryptocurrency with hundreds of thousands of miners processing these transactions, you can't simply defraud the majority of them. The system is decentralized, making it impervious to fraud if it has proliferated enough. That said, the current cryptocurrency craze is a lot like the dot com bubble. People hyping up worthless domains as if they'll be the next big thing. Most crypto is that right now. And whatever blockchain your NFT works off of could be one of those trash coins nobody uses or could easily be hacked.
@@catisreckless4647 yep and the biggest irony is, who owns the art piece more? The one that screenshotted the jpeg or the one that bought the url/metadata of hosted on the Blockchain. At least I can look at the picture whenever I want lmao
@@dihanmustakeem4089 As I said, I don't know enough about them to say "Ooo, Bad, BAD!!" But I do know that as far as I'm concerned, they are amazingly pointless. This notion that they'll "change the future" is also pretty questionable. They are merely just another fad for people to latch onto. Monkey see, Monkey do at it's purest form.
Everything has value, that's why it was created. Whether or not it has monetary value is another story. Now excuse me while I pirate all of these nfts. brb
yea and this isn't doing great things for the environment. we always want what we don't have. by sticking with what we have already and focusing on meaningful relationships with others, i think we can be happier and live more fulfilling lives as well as helping the environment.
I’m still confused about the implications of NFTs on intellectual property rights. As I understand it, the purchaser does not own the underlying asset, right? The copyright is not transferred. So does this mean that the buyer of Jack Dorsey’s NFT can’t put the tweet on a T-shirt and sell it without Jack’s permission? I feel like this part of the equation is never thoroughly explained, either in the media or elsewhere
You're right, copyright is not transfered (unless the original author of the asset transmits rights to the owner of the NFT). In general, people can only claim ownership of the NFT itself, not the asset. People still give value to it because they can prove the provenance of the NFT. Consider it as being able to prove that famous basketball player xy signed your basketball, I guess.
Think of it like the black market. There is no intellectual property because there are no laws and regulations yet. It's just a big ledger of people agreeing about who sold what to who

Its good that people are so aware of the environmental impacts of NFT's/Crypto. Prices literally fluctuate depending on how healthy the crypto is for the environment.
That fact you believe humans can affect the Earths climate is so laughable, methane gasses has been releaded for MILLIENIA and the earth always makes it thru. Climate change is just another scam the Marxists use to get you to give up your rights and more power to them.
@@Gh0zT-777 the changes we are seeing today are too sudden and rapid to be attributed to orbital changes. ocean temperatures and CO2 levels have simply increased way faster then ever before in Earth's history. scientists know this because the CO2 molecules released by human activities are literally different from the CO2 molecules released naturally by plants and animals. using carbon dating, they are unable to identify any other period in the Earth's history that has warmed this fast without the presence of human-caused greenhouse gasses

Except this video didn't teach anything and just threw around some buzzwords. I still don't know what the T in NFT means, which is the whole reason I clicked on this video.
I finally understood what NFTs are, and where the environmental impact argument comes from. Now I see why it's a serious problem. Thank you for the good explanation.

i can make a nft that says WHATEVER I WANT. it isn't even possible to imagine a world where nfts mean ownership, because you would have to validate every nft's minter, which you need a central database for.

He always manages to scratch that particular itch in your brain that you didn't know existed. Half an hour later you find yourself down the rabbit hole.
I think another point worth mentioning is the impact NFTs are already having on independent artists. People can anonymously tokenize artwork that simply does not belong to them, and sell the "ownership" to someone else, often making far more money than the original artist could've ever charged for the artwork, effectively stealing their intellectual property with no repercussions.
This same issue occurs on any media posted to the internet though. It isn't strictly an NFT issue. It is a media issue. How many people use a jpg of a copyrighted image or screenshot from a movie as their google account icon, for example?
@@anthrosaurian the issue with that example is that no one is selling those jpegs meaning the artist doesn't lose anything, however in the example that the og comment provided the artist is losing out on a whole bunch of money tht is now going to someone who didn't put any work into the art at all.
To me, the main difference between NFTs and other non fungible things is an NFT have no real added value. You can look Mona Lisa on the internet. It's fungible, therefore it has very little value (in this case, none). Or you can pay a ticket to go see it an experience the real thing. Added value = more expensive. Or you coud buy it (if it was for sale), and then you could experience it every day. More added value = way more expensive. It's a pretty basic economic principle that people buying NFTs are forgetting. If it's more expensive, it's because it has more value. Sure, for a lot of things, it's 1) subjective and 2) there is a part of perceived value. But only a part. There is some real added value to possessing or experiencing the thing. Possessing Nyan Cat's NFT brings no more value than just watching it on the internet for free. That being said, people do whatever they want with their money. To me it's just foolish but hey 🤷♂️
People don't buy valuable things like the Monalisa to experience it everyday. Even if they did, they'd have to spend more to secure it and make sure it's not stolen or damaged. They buy it for perceived value. NFTs have value because it's secure and verified. You can own an item for it's perceived value and not worry about someone stealing it. The part I'm unsure about is, these memes are floating. You don't know if people will care about Nyan cat in 20 years. Monalisa held value for 100s of years, we don't know what people will care about in 20 years.
@@vibez2806 Not much difference in terms of experiencing art. But you buy it for 100M and sell it 120M in a few years, show off to your friends while you have it.

Meh, I wouldn't go that far. He's style works for many people and for others like me it's a bit too "stretched out". I feel he can easily condense this into 5 minutes and still keep his style and format.
This started as an NFT video, then went down the rabbit hole of the ultimate purpose/direction of humans. Once our needs are met, we seem to create imaginary value at the expense of real value. We create psychological excitement at the expense of the planet.

Money and riches are temporary, learned skills are permanent. One day your tweet is worth millions and next day the market crash and its worth nothing. But your skills, if valuable enough, will always retain their value.
It’s not always true. Let’s say that you know how to drive a truck. Right now it’s a valuable skill, but two decades from now it may not be valuable at all. Technology can depreciate the value of your skills. Self-driving truck would eliminate the value of your skill.

the "basics" are.. this is a money laundering scheme. made to transfer wealth from person to person, from country to country. it is also a money syphoning con, designed to part money from fools who dont understand that. and think that like Jack Dorsey, they also can "make huge profits" from "investing" in it. it is also a ponzi scheme.. where the growth in value is coming from more and more fools pumping money into the system. and the moment the flow stops, it WILL collapse. just like Bitcoin.

@@kalma8216 Because they have added value. If there's a group of people that believes in the value of something, then that item must be valuable (that's the theory). That's why "the mona lisa" has its value: it's just a painting, but we recognize its value because "it's one of a kind" and it's been sold for a lot of money. Well, nft happen to be in the same spot. They are something new, a new way to sell digital art, so people grab some nft and sell them so expensive because "it's one of a kind" and because of hype.

I watched so many videos on TH-cam in order to understand NFT; but you are the only one who could make me understand this very clearly. Thank You Johnny!
It's literally the opposite, it proves that poor people can finally create value from nothin and aren't limited by what rich people deem expensive, for the first time an aspiring artist can create something and sell it on the Internet without having to sell a kidney to have it auctioned off at Sotheby's! This is liberation from the capitalist machine that has placed value on paper and disconnected the world from gold which in itself is an NFT ! Think about that for a second!
You should clarify that the "public record" doesn't actually have people's personal information on it. It has the account name which is generally something like a string of 24 random letters and numbers.
Honestly I think that will be less and less anonymizing going forwards in the same way that ip adresses have been replaced by urls. Its just easier to use with domain name services.
First the McDonalds video being adjacent to right to repair by Louis Rossmann, now NFT being adjacent to Benn Jordan and NFT in the music industry. Seriously love these deep dives and explanations into niche things, they help me explain it to others in a more reasonable way!
What is great is that if we are having food insecurities issues then it would be more economical from both a monetary and resource standpoint to just use a bartering system or go back to our current local currencies. The resource and energy overhead for NFT's is only culturally viable because we don't care about burning readily accessible fossil fuels.
What makes this even more crazy is game industries we know and loved are getting into NFTs which is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. A good example is Ubisoft started a thing called Ubisoft Quartz, mostly about selling NFTs. Luckily though, they failed miserably. Edit 1/2/22: Square Enix gave us a middle finger for the new year. I loved them because they make good games like Tomb Raiders and Nier. It’s so sad now. At this point, I’m making a switch to indie games. Edit 2 1/7/22: I have a bad feeling Rockstar is getting into NFTs…
Art is SO MUCH MORE then just a number of people deciding that something is valuable. No one "decided" that Mozart, Miles Davis or Beatles were great -- rather there music SPOKE to people and their genius radiated through their work. Similarly, no one DECIDED that da Vinci, Monet and Picasso were great -- rather their art SPOKE to people and their genius radiated through their work. I remember years ago walking through a museum in Italy. It had all sorts of artists that I had never heard of as well as some famous ones. Lots and lots of paintings. I decided after a while that I was only going to look at the artist's name of a work if it spoke to me. I walked past dozens of paintings and finally found one that really struck me. I took a look at the name -- it was painted by a certain Leonardo da Vinci.
My marriage of 7yrs is about to crash. I am so much depressed right now and wish I never used the money I and my husband have been saving to buy our first family home.

I feel like killing myself right now😭😭😭😭
Yes Beatrice is right. Julia Mac has been trading for me since last year. I even use some of the profit I made through Julia Mac to open a company worth $85k. That woman is perfect when it comes to trading
I terribly sorry this happened to you. My advice would be to wash your hands of nfts and crypto in general and show your husband that you were scammed and that you've learned from your mistakes. Trying to get the money back by trading in more nfts would be the equivalent of a problem gambler who lost everything at the poker table say there going to win it all back by playing more poker. It would just show him you haven't learned anything.
Thanks dude I knew something fishy was going on with these NFT Craze. I can actually see the flaws that this can be used as a way to do illegal things and without a human being trying to do a check in balance on this giant ledger my fear is that this NFT craze would lead to another financial crisis.
No you didn't. He gave you a unit of energy. It's like saying "2000 bananas. That's the same as the country of Serbia uses". Like, what? Uses per what time period? Per day, per year? If he'd just given a unit of TW instead of TWh, fine, but in that case 10 TW seems a bit high...

I get the comparison with "art", but let me ask for further explanatiin since I didnt understand 100%. So if you buy Mona Lisa (the actual painting, not a picture of it) then you will have THE Mona Lisa in your living room, and nobody else in the world has acces to it or can put one in their own house. But why would anyone buy a digital anything (short video, gif, jpeg) since literally anyone else has the same acces to it over the internet as the person who spent actual-real money? I mean, that guy spent 200k on Lebron scoring a point on that short video. I have acces to the same video, for free. Hell, I can see the whole damn game for free if I want to.

I might have some sort of mental disorder, because everything has no value to me with the exception of people, memories and experiences... things have no value other than their utilitary value that is...
a lot of people think like that really, but smetimes we attach memories and eperiences to objects, so we want to have them close, so the fond memories are always with us, its not that stupid honestly.
No, not at all material things are ultimatly futile, and can only give temporary bursts of happieness, or sustinance. It is our realationships, and experiences, as you said that are truly important. The mentality that we need things to be happy is rooted in a model of success based on our possession of a vast amount of lifeless objects.

And that's not how much has been laundered.. that's the fines banks have had to pay over just the last 20 years for facilitating or enabling the money laundering. Shady things happen everywhere. The changes that will come from this new technological revolution are going to far outweigh the few shady things that can happen as a result.
Thank you for this video. I admit that I still struggle with NFTs as an asset class. I can't accept that a stoner's scribble of a lion gargling mouthwash is worth more money than I will make in a few decades of honest work. But even more than the total lack of effective or reasonable value assignment to art assets that are shockingly devoid of artistic merit, I can't wrap my tiny brain around the concept of buying and selling "ownership" of the token itself. If I were to buy a car or a house (or even the Mona Lisa), through the blockchain or the traditional collection of banks and dealers/realtors, I would be able to take exclusive possession of the car/house/irreplaceable-artwork-by-a-master-whose like-is-not-in-the-world-today. I would gain the rights to modify and dispose of it as I (within the bounds of the law,) saw fit. If I wanted to I could destroy the property or abandon it, and have every right to do so. So far as I can tell, that is not the case with NFT "ownership." I don't have sole possession of the NFT. I cannot modify or destroy it, I cannot prevent people from making identical copies, I don't have anything I can actually resell. I've paid for ownership without any of the rights and benefits of actual ownership, and I struggle to accept how anyone could conceive of that kind of asset as having any value whatsoever.
i believe that's where regulation and law will help enforce the ownership from NFT. From what i understand, in the end for that kind of problem, NFT will only replace notary and/or any other certificate as a legal base in enforcing ownership. can't say it would be any better in doing so, though.
This is what I wrote, 12:28 This is the part of the whole NFT argument that is sickeningly untrue. Its the human expression imbued in the work of art that gives it it's value. Commerce tries to quantify that value with money. The value is NOT the money, it is the art. This is why NFT's, as they stand now, is insipid. It's very premise, due to today's infrastructure (one where the actual art is made readily and freely available to everyone), is absolutely stupid. It states that the measure of the art, ergo the money, is what is valuable, and not the art itself, which is an essential disconnect that those obsessed with commerce are deluded into.
@@zumabbar This where why mention infrastructure in my original comment. If this happens, the internet would literally no longer be a free place. We would have robbed ourselves of equal access to information for all, for the sake of commerce. The internet is already not a free place, but this would be the nail on the coffin for sure
@@AubreyLinks a photocopy of a painting is not even remotely close to the original thing. The texture of the brush strokes are not there, the colors are not true, and is still restrained by pixel resolution. Even a skilled copy of a painting, though it has the copy artists touch and craftsmanship is still far removed from the original. Even if one today is able to generate a perfect copy, stroke for stroke of the original, it still would not have the physical history present in the art piece. An NFT is literally data. There is absolutely, positively no difference between one purchased for an absolutely ludicrous price, and one downloaded for free with a right click. It's the same exact pixels. And worse off, the planet has to pay because of this madness inspired money grubbers.
This video made me finally understand Bitcoin mining, they pay you in crypto for having your computer verify these transactions and contributing to the blockchain (and contributing to climate change). It makes so much sense now, thanks Johnny!

Victor Chaos introduced me to NFTs
As a digital artist one of my biggest concerns about NFTs is art thieves. I wouldn't want people getting tons of money off of art that I spent hours on, and wasn't planning on selling.
Hey that's a nice nft you got there
It would be a shame if I
Screenshot
the smallest thing you could do to piss them off is to screenshot the nft that "they own", and joke like "guys look i do nft's now lolololol" what would they do? say to delete the screenshot? its originally made by you anyway
You thief using my name. Now prepare for trouble
their copy of your work would not have the same id as yours and will be obviously fake and you could sue them . thats wht nft does .
Do artist still use watermarks on their online images?
No matter how well this was explained, I still feel I’m missing something fundamentally important as to why people are spending money on this shite
Same bro 😂
Exactly, it shows no ownership at all. It just means you purchased a digital replica to look at or listen too. It literally has no value other than someone else paid that much for it once before. However as an artist and being able to go through companies that mint the art and track the sales giving me a percentage of each sale is fantastic until the hype dies out. All it takes is one piece of your art making it into a rich collecting group where they fight over the rarest of the your minted works.
But realize the hype is generated by these companies minting stuff... The hype never was "rich people" investing like a stock... They invested into it to create the hype... It will be a short lived thing like beanie babies as these companies can only sucker so many people to play the losing game of paying to mint art... Some parts of the market might stand through it because of sports using it like animated ball cards. Beyond that i don't really see much of a reason outside of collecting. Its a question of how many fans a specific nft market can keep, end of story.
Bc it's gambling
Imo, it's just so someone can brag about being rich or owning something widely admired.
So NFTs don’t really have value for what it is, they only have value for what people give it. Which is why in the months since this video was posted nfts went from stuff like the first tweet to a couple thousand random drawings of a monkey
Actually they have made games and private clubs out of them now which does have value
So just like normal art? Some modern art pieces are literally some colors on a canvas and people buy it for millions
@@sonnykensenhuis8562 Kind of like that but if you own one of those for example some companies use ownership of one of their nft's as an exclusive membership card into a private group that hosts events with members only. And since some have a minimum purchase requirement of around 200k its pretty inclusive
Yes the value is only what people are willing to pay. I treat it kind of like comic or sports trading. So if it’s a drawing by an artist that I already collect in the tangible world. I find it amazing ( through nostalgia) that I own the first digital print of Spider-Man #1 or my Lebron James moment. I see more video games implementing NFTs into gameplay as well. When I play XBox and purchase a skin or certain weapon this is essentially an NFT . I can see game makers creating many items with rarity involved in the future. Then they will all set up secondary market places where players can buy, sell or trade these items. Imagine a COD market place where you could buy an item that gives you even a slight edge over your competitors… and this is just one example. it’s mind boggling how big NFTs will get. The NFT market is in it infancy stage kind of like Bitcoin in 2016 with implications to dwarf crypto in marketcap size and user adoption. Happy trading… 😊🚀

There are a bunch of Artists I follow who are deeply effected by this. One in particular is against NFTs because of the geoimpact, and some one, or group of persons are taking her art and making NFTs of it against her will. it just brutal. And there doesn't seem to be any way to hold these people accountable because it's so decentralized.
as an artist, that genuinely sounds so annoying and sad. imagine putting your hard work and skills, finally having a piece you're proud of then posting it to your social media account but a random person just steals it and has the potential to PROFITS off of it.

I agree with most of that, but I do dislike when people talk about the geo-impacts of blockchains. Why is the focus always on this new technology disrupting things and causing climate change and not on the fossil fuel plants literally polluting out the CO2? As civilization advances, more and more electricity will be consumed, and blockchains are just a part of that new future.
@@reyalfa18 correction. Copyright laws still apply here. You can sue them
I wish you brought up how nft's created a boom in art theft where people were selling things they didn't own and didn't make, like how many artists have found their work being sold on nft websites without their permission, or even their knowledge and receiving 0% of the money from the sales
That is an excellent point. Crazy that it is a flip on the typical art theft of how easy digital stuff is to copy.
i saw one on twitter where a recently dead arttist's work was sold as an nft and none of the money went to the family
The thing I don't get though, is they don't have a physical copy of it. It's like if I posted a photo on facebook, and someone tried to sell it. Well, on Facebook it's a super low, shitty resolution, whereas the original in my computer is 40MB of raw detail, that the buyer nor the seller have.
@@cubeography Are you talking about Qinni (@QinniArt), the artist that died last year? Yeahhh shit's fucked

@@paulshaju2806 Except, gold is a real, physical, finite commodity with tangible utility. It cannot be replicated or mass produced at will, therefore it will always be rare, and since value is associated with rarity, it will always be valuable.
@@ntuthuko3175 it has utility but if you think about it almost every mineral or metal has utility.
What I'm trying to say is that gold is definitely rare but why is rare considered valuable? It's because of human perception
On the other hand why is food or grain considered valuable it's because it's human need it's a necessity
Gold is not a necessity we can live without gold
Real necessity is food ,clothing etc

One thing about NFTs that's rarely explained well is that NFT's are essentially a reciept of ownership. In other words, if you buy a jpeg as an NFT, you don't own that jpeg. What you own is a public receipt indicating ownership of the jpeg, and a link to that image. You own metadata. The image itself is NOT hosted on the blockchain. Because of this, while nobody can change the ledger indicating that you own the jpeg, somebody CAN change the image itself, or simply erase it. If the domain that's hosting the link goes offline, or if the owner of the domain changes the image, as the owner of the NFT, there's nothing you can do about it. Blockchain is impressive technology, but NFTs are a scam. Don't buy the hype.
I'm still fairly ignorant on the subject, but one of my issues is this concept of NFT's being infallible proof of ownership or something. There is no such thing.
@@catisreckless4647 well, listen to your hunch that perhaps you are ignorant.
This guy is right that NFT's are a scam, but the method and technology for proof that you own "it" are sound, provided the blockchain itself is sound.
In order for a transaction to be approved on the blockchain, the entire (or perhaps only a majority of 51%) need to approve it.
Even if you manage to defraud one part of the system, the rest of it immediately recognizes the transaction as fraudulent.
And when it is a cryptocurrency with hundreds of thousands of miners processing these transactions, you can't simply defraud the majority of them. The system is decentralized, making it impervious to fraud if it has proliferated enough.
That said, the current cryptocurrency craze is a lot like the dot com bubble. People hyping up worthless domains as if they'll be the next big thing. Most crypto is that right now. And whatever blockchain your NFT works off of could be one of those trash coins nobody uses or could easily be hacked.
@@Theviewerdude There is no such thing as infallible proof of ownership. That fact has nothing to do with NFT's.

I’m still confused about the implications of NFTs on intellectual property rights.
As I understand it, the purchaser does not own the underlying asset, right? The copyright is not transferred. So does this mean that the buyer of Jack Dorsey’s NFT can’t put the tweet on a T-shirt and sell it without Jack’s permission? I feel like this part of the equation is never thoroughly explained, either in the media or elsewhere
I would like to know how that works, in the digital world it would be easy to track, on the material workd it brings in new regulations right?
You're right, copyright is not transfered (unless the original author of the asset transmits rights to the owner of the NFT).
In general, people can only claim ownership of the NFT itself, not the asset. People still give value to it because they can prove the provenance of the NFT. Consider it as being able to prove that famous basketball player xy signed your basketball, I guess.
I don't, i will start printing this art and say it i own the paper.

I think another point worth mentioning is the impact NFTs are already having on independent artists. People can anonymously tokenize artwork that simply does not belong to them, and sell the "ownership" to someone else, often making far more money than the original artist could've ever charged for the artwork, effectively stealing their intellectual property with no repercussions.
This same issue occurs on any media posted to the internet though.
It isn't strictly an NFT issue.
It is a media issue.
How many people use a jpg of a copyrighted image or screenshot from a movie as their google account icon, for example?
@@anthrosaurian Wow, I didn't know Google monetizes their fucking profile icons. /s
😒
Thankfully, copyright laws ignore NFTs completely.
@Mee Acownt because anyone can make NFTs, not just the copyright holder.
@@anthrosaurian the issue with that example is that no one is selling those jpegs meaning the artist doesn't lose anything, however in the example that the og comment provided the artist is losing out on a whole bunch of money tht is now going to someone who didn't put any work into the art at all.

To me, the main difference between NFTs and other non fungible things is an NFT have no real added value.
You can look Mona Lisa on the internet. It's fungible, therefore it has very little value (in this case, none). Or you can pay a ticket to go see it an experience the real thing. Added value = more expensive. Or you coud buy it (if it was for sale), and then you could experience it every day. More added value = way more expensive.
It's a pretty basic economic principle that people buying NFTs are forgetting. If it's more expensive, it's because it has more value. Sure, for a lot of things, it's 1) subjective and 2) there is a part of perceived value. But only a part. There is some real added value to possessing or experiencing the thing.
Possessing Nyan Cat's NFT brings no more value than just watching it on the internet for free.
That being said, people do whatever they want with their money. To me it's just foolish but hey 🤷♂️
People don't buy valuable things like the Monalisa to experience it everyday. Even if they did, they'd have to spend more to secure it and make sure it's not stolen or damaged. They buy it for perceived value.
NFTs have value because it's secure and verified. You can own an item for it's perceived value and not worry about someone stealing it.
The part I'm unsure about is, these memes are floating. You don't know if people will care about Nyan cat in 20 years. Monalisa held value for 100s of years, we don't know what people will care about in 20 years.
Its the exact same as art, has no actual value apart from how it makes us feel. Same with wallpaper and buying designer gear.
I screen shot jack doeseys tweet. Same fucking thing lol
I can look at the Mona Lisa online for free everyday. What is the difference?
@@vibez2806 Not much difference in terms of experiencing art. But you buy it for 100M and sell it 120M in a few years, show off to your friends while you have it.

This started as an NFT video, then went down the rabbit hole of the ultimate purpose/direction of humans. Once our needs are met, we seem to create imaginary value at the expense of real value. We create psychological excitement at the expense of the planet.

NFTs aren't an investment. It's a scam!!
this was literally so well explained like I had NO IDEA about this and now I feel like I understand the basics of it
the "basics" are..
this is a money laundering scheme. made to transfer wealth from person to person, from country to country.
it is also a money syphoning con, designed to part money from fools who dont understand that. and think that like Jack Dorsey, they also can "make huge profits" from "investing" in it.
it is also a ponzi scheme.. where the growth in value is coming from more and more fools pumping money into the system. and the moment the flow stops, it WILL collapse.
just like Bitcoin.
But purpose. I think its new form of corruption. And money washing
@@adamfirst3772 didn’t ppl say Bitcoin would collapse years ago😂

as a newbie, this is honestly the best explanation of NFTS. i get it now. it has value because its ownership is publically recorded on the blockchain
How do i get it
The issue is that anyone can take anyone shit and make money on it. That's all I see

@@Daxmacloi But why do they cost so much?
It's ridiculous
@@kalma8216 Because they have added value. If there's a group of people that believes in the value of something, then that item must be valuable (that's the theory). That's why "the mona lisa" has its value: it's just a painting, but we recognize its value because "it's one of a kind" and it's been sold for a lot of money.
Well, nft happen to be in the same spot. They are something new, a new way to sell digital art, so people grab some nft and sell them so expensive because "it's one of a kind" and because of hype.
@@kalma8216 they generally don't cost this much. Of course, if you are not in this business/not interested in these things, you will hear about cryptopunks and bored apes selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars, but really, most of the goods sold as « NFT's » have just as normal prices as the « real world things »

NFTs prove that rich ppl have so much money they will literally buy anything for the clout.

Maybe but NFTs are not just about rich people flexing. Alot of us who are interested in NFTs want to use the technology to even the field.
Yeah but the problem is the technology, and not the people using it.
It's literally the opposite, it proves that poor people can finally create value from nothin and aren't limited by what rich people deem expensive, for the first time an aspiring artist can create something and sell it on the Internet without having to sell a kidney to have it auctioned off at Sotheby's! This is liberation from the capitalist machine that has placed value on paper and disconnected the world from gold which in itself is an NFT ! Think about that for a second!
@@Glebean laundering & inflation at it finest.
You should clarify that the "public record" doesn't actually have people's personal information on it.
It has the account name which is generally something like a string of 24 random letters and numbers.
Yep, great point
Honestly I think that will be less and less anonymizing going forwards in the same way that ip adresses have been replaced by urls. Its just easier to use with domain name services.
I think that's why he put "(encrypted)" next to each name/entry on the public record section. Maybe it could've been clearer?

What is great is that if we are having food insecurities issues then it would be more economical from both a monetary and resource standpoint to just use a bartering system or go back to our current local currencies.

Art is SO MUCH MORE then just a number of people deciding that something is valuable. No one "decided" that Mozart, Miles Davis or Beatles were great -- rather there music SPOKE to people and their genius radiated through their work. Similarly, no one DECIDED that da Vinci, Monet and Picasso were great -- rather their art SPOKE to people and their genius radiated through their work.
I remember years ago walking through a museum in Italy. It had all sorts of artists that I had never heard of as well as some famous ones. Lots and lots of paintings. I decided after a while that I was only going to look at the artist's name of a work if it spoke to me. I walked past dozens of paintings and finally found one that really struck me. I took a look at the name -- it was painted by a certain Leonardo da Vinci.

I terribly sorry this happened to you. My advice would be to wash your hands of nfts and crypto in general and show your husband that you were scammed and that you've learned from your mistakes. Trying to get the money back by trading in more nfts would be the equivalent of a problem gambler who lost everything at the poker table say there going to win it all back by playing more poker.

“There’s some super strange stuff happening online right now.” That’s alright Johnny, you didn’t need to tell me that.
True, few years ago I used to know everything about internet, now it was grown wild, I've lost my grip from Internet and it's wierd new stuffs.
I might have some sort of mental disorder, because everything has no value to me with the exception of people, memories and experiences... things have no value other than their utilitary value that is...
Same here.
That view is called wisdom, and it's definately superior. I don't want to participate in a culture that portrays wisdom as a mental disorder anyways.
a lot of people think like that really, but smetimes we attach memories and eperiences to objects, so we want to have them close, so the fond memories are always with us, its not that stupid honestly.
No, not at all material things are ultimatly futile, and can only give temporary bursts of happieness, or sustinance. It is our realationships, and experiences, as you said that are truly important.
The mentality that we need things to be happy is rooted in a model of success based on our possession of a vast amount of lifeless objects.
Now, it's important to have a balance, as it is through these avenues that, people can foster their experices.

@@GTaichou Funny because there's been SIGNIFICANTLY more shady dealings and money laundering happening in traditional fiat, for hundreds of years and I don't see anyone complaining that cash is corrupt. It's been reported that all money laundering that may have occurred through cryptocurrency to date is about $1.5B. In the last 20 years alone, and just in the US, banks have been hit with a total of 395 money laundering cases/charges. And the result of those cases resulted in more than $200 billion in fines/penalties.
$200B. And that's not how much has been laundered.. that's the fines banks have had to pay over just the last 20 years for facilitating or enabling the money laundering. Shady things happen everywhere. The changes that will come from this new technological revolution are going to far outweigh the few shady things that can happen as a result.
Bro, I want to sincerely thank you, you literally gave me a new and simplified way to look at things! Saved my life!
Thank you for this video. I admit that I still struggle with NFTs as an asset class. I can't accept that a stoner's scribble of a lion gargling mouthwash is worth more money than I will make in a few decades of honest work. But even more than the total lack of effective or reasonable value assignment to art assets that are shockingly devoid of artistic merit, I can't wrap my tiny brain around the concept of buying and selling "ownership" of the token itself.
If I were to buy a car or a house (or even the Mona Lisa), through the blockchain or the traditional collection of banks and dealers/realtors, I would be able to take exclusive possession of the car/house/irreplaceable-artwork-by-a-master-whose like-is-not-in-the-world-today. I would gain the rights to modify and dispose of it as I (within the bounds of the law,) saw fit. If I wanted to I could destroy the property or abandon it, and have every right to do so.
So far as I can tell, that is not the case with NFT "ownership." I don't have sole possession of the NFT. I cannot modify or destroy it, I cannot prevent people from making identical copies, I don't have anything I can actually resell. I've paid for ownership without any of the rights and benefits of actual ownership, and I struggle to accept how anyone could conceive of that kind of asset as having any value whatsoever.
i believe that's where regulation and law will help enforce the ownership from NFT. From what i understand, in the end for that kind of problem, NFT will only replace notary and/or any other certificate as a legal base in enforcing ownership. can't say it would be any better in doing so, though.
is this what the metaverse is? or are the 2 things not related?
This is what I wrote,
12:28 This is the part of the whole NFT argument that is sickeningly untrue.
Its the human expression imbued in the work of art that gives it it's value. Commerce tries to quantify that value with money.
The value is NOT the money, it is the art.
This is why NFT's, as they stand now, is insipid. It's very premise, due to today's infrastructure (one where the actual art is made readily and freely available to everyone), is absolutely stupid. It states that the measure of the art, ergo the money, is what is valuable, and not the art itself, which is an essential disconnect that those obsessed with commerce are deluded into.
@@zumabbar This where why mention infrastructure in my original comment. If this happens, the internet would literally no longer be a free place. We would have robbed ourselves of equal access to information for all, for the sake of commerce. The internet is already not a free place, but this would be the nail on the coffin for sure
@@AubreyLinks a photocopy of a painting is not even remotely close to the original thing. The texture of the brush strokes are not there, the colors are not true, and is still restrained by pixel resolution.
Even a skilled copy of a painting, though it has the copy artists touch and craftsmanship is still far removed from the original.
Even if one today is able to generate a perfect copy, stroke for stroke of the original, it still would not have the physical history present in the art piece.
An NFT is literally data. There is absolutely, positively no difference between one purchased for an absolutely ludicrous price, and one downloaded for free with a right click. It's the same exact pixels.
And worse off, the planet has to pay because of this madness inspired money grubbers.
