My problem is that declaring something a Ponzi scheme means saying there's absolutely no value in it, in no circumstances, for no use cases, nada, zilch. While there’s a ton of valid criticism, I don’t see that being the case. But I’m happy to agree to disagree.

I know how PGP works, Dan, but I fail to see how “let’s do more key signing parties” is an alternative. We already tried that, didn’t we? The fact that I neither have to sign up anywhere nor get anyone’s approval is the actual innovation IMO

Sure, you can view both Ethereum and Bitcoin as being not really decentralized. There still much closer to that ideal than any centrally hosted approach. Not sure how valid a comparison to some non-existent PGP-style variant is :)

There’s a ton of fraudulent stuff happening in that space, but there are actual, legitimate use cases, e.g. when the actual owner connects an actual right to it, when some other service validates ownership, etc. And I’m not aware of other decentralized ways to achieve that.

I agree technically, but PoW is killing Ethereum’s chances of adoption for a huge number of people (see above)
True, a ton of simple digital signing use cases are now automatically (and often wrongly) addressed with blockchain tech

I know. I’m not convinced, as that is 100% a scam, and there are some actual artists involved in that NFT thing, which makes it only 95% comparable IMO :)

Interesting thought. The fact that a lot of people place value on wearing brand originals instead of fakes is weird, too (assuming quality were the same). Maybe NFTs are only as stupid as the stupid real world concepts they’re inspired by?
Think of it as limited edition adidas shoes that you can only „wear“ in a game if you proof nft ownership. Of course there might be copies, but other players can easily see if the signature of that shoes you are wearing belongs to adidas

Assuming you’re talking about digital clothing brands, I can see how it would be easier to prevent fakes in the digital world than in the real one. Interesting point.

I think signed receipt with some information on is still the more accurate description.

Coming to think of it, putting “n/100” and the artist’s signature on a print, and then considering it more valuable, is not really a lot weirder than an #NFT
The closest way I’ve found to explain the weirdness of #NFT for art: They’re like a signed, numbered limited edition print, but the signature is not on the actual print, and not necessarily even by the artist

Ich bin es ja auch leid, mich ständig über Deutschlands Digitalisierung oder Berlins Totalüberforderung mit ungefähr allem lustig zu machen. Aber wenn sich eine Behörde so viel Mühe gibt, zum Meme zu werden, dann muss ich das würdigen.

Natürlich gehört Facebook zerschlagen,
natürlich ist der Konzern Gift für die Demokratie,
aber diese paar Stunden Downtime werden einfach nur lächerlich dramatisiert.
