You may be out a 100 K but you have a happy rabbit. 🐇 That makes the receipt more valuable. After all, your rabbit doesn't want your NFT! 🙄 Like omg.

      To some degree locking access to certain areas behind a paywall could be brushed off as some kind of DLC-type thing. Mobile games do that already. But it could be even worse than that my guy. Think about it like this; imagine if games start putting out skins or weapons or anything of that nature, but they're unique, only one of that "thing" exists in the entire game, and the people playing will have to bid on it to see who wins that item. RNG is already a cruel bitch, but imagine if something was ultra-rare not because RNGesus wasn't on your side, but instead because there was only one of that thing and some asshole basement dweller spent 25000$ to buy it. THAT is the kind of shit that scares me in all this.

    NFT’s perceived value is purely based on the “greater fool” principle, which is in the core of most financial bubbles. People pay a lot of money for something based on the belief that there will always be someone willing to pay more. It’s a self (un)sustaining process and it falls apart as soon as the hype goes away.

      The real problem is due to the concept of an NFT in the first place. An NFT, regardless of what it is linked to, does not confer any sort of ownership for anything other than the actual NFT itself. So selling an NFT that is linked to a piece of art that you don't own isn't "technically" theft, because you're not selling the piece of art, nor are you selling any rights for that piece of art. NFT's as a general concept aren't necessarily a scam, but their application and the vast majority of the way they are currently used is absolutely scam-like.

      The problem is that it's now 2022... meaning many young people literally grew up buying intangible things.
      Hell, in a way, stocks themselves feel intangible. But we buy digital music, digital games, digital shows etc....
      And the very idea of copyright and ownership itself is intangible...

      First of all, you must differentiate between buying and paying. Paying for something doesn't automatically mean you are buying it. Not every payment means you are the owner of something.
      And about ownership itself, that's something you fabricated... Again, you cannot just redefine words to fit your perspective. Ownership is well-defined, that's why courts are able to make decisions about who is the owner.

And now, collection games and cars still have steady growth/decline, but they will alive for years due rarity and conditions will affect the price.

      Actually, I think it's a very clever way to package the brutal criticism this scam deserves. Today, a lot of people can't tolerate criticism anymore, to the point that everything needs to seem "fair and balanced", even if something doesn't deserve fair and balanced treatment at all. Like racism. Or medical scam products. Or flat earth ideas.
      So if you want to get the brainwashed people to listen to what's what, what do you do? If they leave their filter bubbles at all, they are wary of everything that could pop their bubble. So you need to be respectful towards their bad ideas and criticize them in a friendly way instead of tearing them down. If that was actually Arun's goal, I admire the result! Regardless of his intentions, it makes it much harder to dismiss his message.

As an artist yea your art might sell on a shitty tshirt on a janky website and may sell a few copies for $20 a pop(all of which requires work to print, sell, ship) with nfts its insanely easy to mint someone’s art, be completely anon, sell someone’s NFT, maybe make $50 maybe $10000, then create a new wallet and peace. Not to mention there’s already sites selling nfts that either don’t offer take down options or make it insanely difficult. I know artists that have over 100 pieces or art being sold as NFT. Do you know how long that’s gonna take to file over 100 dmca’s and how much wasted time that is. The magnitude of ease to pretend to be an artist and sell their art for lucrative amounts of money with ZERO consequences is massively increased in the NFT space right now.

And there are literally no sites that dont offer takedown, because guess what, the stolen artwork isn't hosted on the blockchain(which is immutable) but it's on some centralized server, and if they don't take down the artwork that has nothing to do with NFT, but it's problem of the server.

    This is such a good video, Arun, thank you for making it! I will most definitely use it to inform people who are unaware of what NFTs are.
    That being said, I just can't understand why NFTs even ever became a thing. I'd much rather support artists by commissioning them. That way I get a one-of-a-kind piece of art and most artists will make sure that the commissioner gets the high-res version of the picture and everyone else just gets access to a low-res version. Or supporting artists on Patreon, where I pay a monthly fee and have access to their art. I see much more value in that. NFTs just seem so stupid when you think about it and the fact that many NFTs include stolen art on top of the heap of other issues makes me never want to be involved with it.

      I know most people don't buy actual art with the intention to sell it so this income would be small in most cases. It's still more for the artist though!
      I say actual art because 98% of NFTs are your standard 10000 collection made from random combinations of the same assets. I personally don't think of this as art.

      Many artist who are now creating NFTs - especially those who are creating one off pieces are also offering the physical artwork to the first buyer of the NFT - so literally kinda reverse to what you've suggested. This is what I will be doing with my first NFT collection later this year. The NFT will be a high res image of an original oil painting or mixed media painting. The first buyer of the NFT will have the option to receive the actual artwork shipped to them.

      depends really , been in the industry for about 11 years and let me tell you companies like to redo assets a lot even within the same teams between newer instalments of games. not sure how Cod operates internally but yeah that would be the one area where there's the possibility since its the same visual style and probably the same engine running it so its going to be a little more straight forward on how to port it over.
      The fidelity of the model will look dated in a few years though, or new shaders come along, better rigging techniques to have better tactile feedback and animations etc... And thats just a gun, probably the more easily swapable asset.
      Also if its an nft does that mean they can`t update anything for that gun even if they decide to port it over to the newer games? because technically they`re changing the content of your nft if they try to make it work in newer engines.
      also lets say you own a ww2 style gun in 1 cod and the they release a scifi one. its going to look very out of place in that setting so they need to make the deliberate decision to port that gun over for you to be able to use it. It always takes work to do so even if its relatively easy in some cases but usually it isn't

      Alternatively, you could participate as a positive and honest actor to stand against the misuse of the technology, you can clearly state contract ownership and IP terms and set reasonable prices . There is nothing stopping people from being good-faith actors in the system. Letting scammers and fools run amok and ‘own’ the idea is a far worse outcome imho. This is like rejecting the idea of patreon or kickstarter because there are bad actors willing to take advantage, as long as you let them be the only people using a system it will continue to look and operate bad.

    NFTs are basically like being married but every other man can sleep with your wife and you can't say anything about it but she's your wife because you're the only one who has the marriage certificate

      I greatly appreciate your honesty and how this worked out for you. I’m trying to learn this and integrate this strategy into my portfolio, just wanna do it right. This helps a lot. Learning what not to do is as valuable as learning what to do, this video provides both but later on I was convinced to try out packages of Vcorpinvest🟣Com which have yielded lot more profits all to my bank account

    NFT's are an issue but there is so much money to be made in crypto. Example i invested in an altcoin called market MOVE and i literally made 20x and will probs make another at least. So many opportunities that it's hard not to dip your toes in
