My problem with NFT’s is that the people who sell them don’t do it because they love art or drawing, but because they see it for its base value: money- so they tend to not put in much effort, so most NFT’s look mid compared to actual art.
@@JackfromIreland How so? I don't understand the logistical cost of cryptocurrency or NFTs and therefore their environmental cost but stuff like Bitcoin surely costs more than images of badly drawn monkeys.
Honestly, I feel like NFTs are worthless. They only seem to gain value simply because they're being pushed by a popular person or they're trending in some way. If you really want a piece of art that actually has value, commission someone. At least then you'll be getting something of value (to you at any rate), you help support someone that actually makes great art and you get something that doesn't look like it was drawn 5 minutes before closing on a Friday.
Nft's are literally just screenshots but given value by some rich douche. You could easily just save a picture of any NFT, and you just saved a ridiculous amount of money.
scam or not, the sheer amount of art that's been stolen to be sold as NFTs is what pisses me off the most about them. also the hacking of big art accounts especially on twt to be turned into nft accounts. the whole thing is definitely scummy as hell, if nothing else
That actually scares me. If animations can become NFT's then I'm screwed because someone could steal the content from my channel and sell them as NFT's, or hack my account. I'm really nervous about all this NFT bullshit
Tbh I disagree with NFTs for three reasons: A: Theft. As an artist I have heard around my community, the quick spreading of theft and resell, as well as false chains being tied back to the original creator to hide the theft. This not only is illegal it’s unethical, especially when the artist may not have made any money off of it originally and now it was sold for thousands of dollars somewhere they may not be aware of. B: The art community as a whole. We have already found streamline ways of selling, protecting, and reselling our art and original characters that are actually functional. Not only that, if you choose to instead, commission an artist you can get a customized character or piece of art while your funds go to an individual who actually needs it, not a multi-million dollar company run by bots. C: The effects on the environment: This is a big one, whether you can empathize with artists or not, you should care about the sheer amount of energy usage and heat caused by running block chains. It’s MASSIVE. Etherium is especially horrible about this and that is also the primary type of crypto used to buy and sell NFTs. The average blockchain facilities use up a months worth of power for a whole city in a few days to run the hardware that stores the blockchains. So please, just commission artists and creators for actually good media instead. Be smart, and think ethically where it’s possible.
Even though i own a couple of NFT's myself and love the concept of it, this comment is the only one i actually agree with. Well worded and actual knowledge on the subject, instead of the typical "hehe screenshot"
They’ll counter with “but cars take energy too”. When noting the environment arguement the NFT peep do, remember to note that they are using NFT unnecessarily unlike cars
Really glad that everyone on the comments is pointing out how laughably terrible this NFT frenzy is. I feel like Andrei wanted to play the _enlightened centrist_ with this one, but this just ain't it.
Oh I'm glad someone else commented this as well. We don't need NFTs, as they are not a necessity, and they create so much pollution. It cannot be excused.
The biggest Problem with NFTs for me is the damage it causes for the environment by using alot of energy to use it. Regardless if it's legitemate or scams
There's that, and also that it's absolutely one huge money laundering scheme. Like most crypto. There is a reason every damn ransomware ever demands payments in bitcoin.
@@UnSlayd bro games use less energy power than Netflix, so don't go saying things like this to just make something look Evil and besides, it makes you look like a brainwashed adult from Facebook
In some countries it's illegal to advertise to kids. I wish there were something we could do here to prevent kids from getting involved in an NFT racket their brains are simply not developed enough to understand
I feel like I should mention that there is a pretty big downside to NFTs and it's their negative effects on the environment. I can't remember any of the specifics bc it's been a while since I thought about it, but yeah. If I'm remembering correctly, then NFTs get their irl value from some ore. It's also really bad for tge art community as people from that community keep getting their art stolen and turned into NFTs, including art from ppl who have died and it's basically impossible for the stolen art to be taken down. Though if you post in Deviant art, apparently for the first 3 months after you upload they'll tell you if ur art has been made into an NFT so... yeah🤷🍊
The environmental argument is so lame. You wouldnt levy that argument against other companies running cpus all day and you wouldnt say that about the countless of people that run their pcs all day either. Turning on a lightbulb is technically already bad for the evironment. As for artists. NFT can actually help artists operate more independent and make money over their artpieces. All the art thievery going on is nothing new, its just a new way for people to be a scummy human. That being said, there are still a bunch of issues with NFT but the most common arguments against it are trash. A lot of people know 0 about NFT and couldnt even tell you what NFT stand for as an abreviation.
@@Naalders but most artists don’t like them because you’re art could be stolen and you wouldn’t know about it that’s why nfts don’t even benefit artists
Honestly NFT’s are a dumb concept as a whole imo, they’re trendy right now but so many people are gonna regret their financial decisions from buying them down the line, also not forgetting the terrible impact they have on the environment.
The minting, transactions, and other processes involved with NFTs require a ton of computing power, which directly results in insane power consumption.
To be fair, would you stop trying to scam people if you've had some of the most blatant scams on the platform without facing any major backlash apart from a handful of RUclipsrs talking about it?
@@AikiraBeats I honestly think it's because the platforms he uses (YT and Twitter at least) don't do anything to punish them. That not only makes them more money from the controversy and uptick in users/defenders but also tells their fans (children) that this isn't actually a bad thing they did. "Ignore and it'll go away" is frighteningly effective
i genuinely became upset after seeing the amount of subs he has like what makes people think that he is a good guy how pathetic can you be if you are scamming from the same people who like you i guess he is teaching them a valueable lesson to choose your model carefully
"NFT's are neither good nor bad" in their current state I'd say they tilt more towards the bad with their environmental cost also since they basically do absolutely nothing but serve as trading cards for rich people, I'd say they are at least somewhat bad. The technology was a good idea to protect artists but it became something entirely different and absolutely failed.
Not to mention that now cryptobros are stealing Art from small or even DECEASED artists and then sell them as NFTs and because it's such a new concept there are no regulations nor laws about it. But suuureeee NFTs are made to help artists not to launder money mhm.
I don't know that we can separate NFTs from the pushers at this rate. They're a scam by design. If you buy it because you like the art, fine, though there are cheaper ways to get art, and you get to tell the artist what you want them to draw so you don't have to settle for what a computer crapped out. NFTs are only seen as worth a lot because they're hyped that way. Influencers push them on the idea that the NFT can be resold for more later. Someone has to end up with the bag. There is no central entity where you can cash it in - someone has to agree to take it off your hands for a price. And with how it's gone, the busts happen sooner rather than later.
With the environmental impact NFTs have I would consider them bad. Specifically because they hold no use factor and people don’t buy them simply because they enjoy the art
The papyrus analogy is false because papyrus (and what’s written on it) exists in the real world. When you buy a papyrus with stuff written on it you have the papyrus, while when you buy the NFT, you buy a token that allows you to get to a server displaying a pic. Does the token exist? If the specific blockchain it belongs to goes down, not anymore. Do you have a right to the image? Unsure. No clear legal framework means obscure rights and duties. So is it a scam? Let’s just say it has many negatives aspects with next to no positive ones.
I’d say nfts can be considered to be inherently bad when you consider a few aspects; for one, the transactions use up a shit ton of energy, which is pretty bad for the environment. Plus, there’s no inherent value you get when you own an nft. What’s the point in owning an nft if everyone else can see it and use it just like you? Plus, there’s already a way for digital artists to get compensated for their work, commissions allow the customer to get full control over the art and don’t use all that electricity.
@@thatlawnmowerguy9 Well, that's what gives them value but its not "real value", its just a number that people put on it (just like the value of currency).
Like bro if you want good art just commission an artist for like 200 bucks and you get unique one of a kind and special customized artwork just for you. it's yours. no blockchain reciept needed, you literally own the copyright to that image. but naaaah 5 million bucks for a bored ape thats better.
Omg I'm so happy to hear this. I was at a party and a girl was preaching these while beating around the bush, I knew she was talking NFTs. I wasn't sure if maybe I was just too dunce to grasp the concept, but looking into them it just sounded flawed and ridiculous to me. How can you sell secure, digital copies of art?! Is it encrypted in the file somehow? Like?? What can you do to retain value with that? A genuine painting vs a print has tangible and visual differences, how is an NFT worth more than a copy? I don't get it.
basically its like you are paying to own it. Like you can say “I own this art” people can screenshot it all they want but the one who buys the nft officially owns it, if that makes sense
I love your videos, they‘re amazing! Everytime i see that you uploaded a new one i get soo excited. You hardly find videos with a quality such as yours!!
ive spent quite a large amount of time figuring out what nfts are but your concise and quite unbiased explanation and analogy greatly helped me. thank you!!
You should talk about the pet sim x nfts. Everyone forgot about them but the dev never gave the items to the people who bought the nfts so he just scammed them out of 150000$
I have to say, NFTs are in fact bad. Most of the time buying one NFT has a worse climate impact than driving across the entire continental united states. EDIT: This is because they require every computer on the blockchain to use an immense amount of power to prove aren't a bot. That happens thousands of times a second.
@@FZ-bk9kh To prevent bots, they require every computer to use an immense amount of power to prove they actually belong to a person. That happens thousands of times a second to everyone on the entire blockchain.
This whole thing with NFT's is incredibly stupid. People can just screenshot their stuff because it's literally not worth anything more than any other image online lol. It's a string of 1's and 0's that may or may not look good or bad. People who fall for people Scamming literal *images* that don't even look good are just plain stupid. I'm sorry but if you invest money into Internet screenshots then you're stupid in my eyes. Also, I don't hate all Crypto currency because some-most can be money sources that are not all bad. Crypto currency is like gambling but a lot safer I suppose. You choose the money you put in but the difference is you can take it out and put it in at any point depending on the economy and stock prices.
@@messagefamilystyled1101 some things aren’t about utility, it’s about how u can exchange it and it’s demand. If hypothetically nobody in the world wanted money, it becomes worthless. Though I agree that nfts are kinda stupid
Tbh I disagree with you; NFTs are inherently bad. Paying tens of thousands of dollars for a database entry with an IPFS link to an image file? That's incredibly foolish, because whoever is hosting that file can just... stop, and now your NFT points to a dead link and is effectively worthless. Factor in the environmental/energy costs of NFTs, and you realize we're literally destroying our environment and converting the very air we breathe into what amounts to "artificial scarcity technology". They're inherently bad, they serve no purpose, and they actively harm our environment. They are _bad_ as bad gets. Even if the actual files were stored immutably on the blockchain itself (which they never are, cuz storage costs on the blockchain are absurd), they'd still be pretty useless, and they'd still be actively detrimental to humanity as a species.
I have been thinking, and the only NFTs that i would consider even decently worth it are artist collections. They would be so much limited than all the random procedure ones that i see put out daily. Also, due to it being a more reduce number it would actually be worth it. I feel like random procedure ones are just... a way for people to scam each other

I know these animation can’t come out every week and they take a lot of time and planning to create, but can I give you an idea: coco melon. It just purplexes me.

As someone who watches a lot of Art Streamers on Twitch i've heard a lot of NFT stories But a good chunk of them are Their art getting stolen and used for NFTS which is fucking disgusting
I'm not sure the "NFTs are the future" argument holds up - because they don't seem to have any positives at all. The people producing NFTs aren't doing it because it's "the newest, coolest way to sell art". They're only in it for the money, hence why nearly all of them look like the by-product of hitting the random button on a doll maker. If they are good-looking, they're probably also stolen artwork - because the people selling NFTs likely aren't artists at all, and it's so much simpler to use a (dead) artist's work, without credit or knowledge, than make even the 'doll makers'. There's also the massive, extremely detrimental, cost to the environment - though that's also a problem with crypto in general. It isn't possible to create something out of nothing, after all, even digital currency or art. In fact, they kind of need the ridiculously massive warehouses full of expensive super computers working 24/7 to turn the power (equivalent to the total power usage of a small country, such as Ireland) into digital money. They wouldn't have backing otherwise, or the "unique string of binary code" that makes up a NFT. Then there's the cultish (pyramid scheme-like) devotion to the practice. The fact is, there aren't a lot of people actually buying NFTs. In reality, in order to make money, the seller will recruit a "down-line" of regular buyers, who, in turn, will seek to recruit their own buyers - because that's all the NFT is good for, to sell for more money than you bought it for. Once in, you will seek to justify your purchase, and will get easily provoked when someone dismisses it as "just a picture" or "a really poor decision". Then there's the sour taste whenever someone - be they a celebrity, company, studio or friend - "falls to the dark side" and starts promoting NFTs or crypto like it's their newest MLM 'business' (it kind of is). You will feel betrayed and might even attempt to steer them "back to the light"; but this will be 'too little, too late' and will only make you hurt more, especially if or when they lash out at or dismiss you and your concerns.
I think the biggest problem of NFT’s is how it hurts artists. Someone can steal someone’s art, make it an NFT, and to get it back they’d have to send out a lot of personal info to get the NFT taken down. Which… Yeah. It’s incredibly scummy and I feel I’d hurting a good lot of the artist community
If there's one good thing about youtube removing the dislikes, it's definitely the fact the Paul Stans can't just mass dislike this video. I mean, they still can, it's just that the general public won't see the dislike count.
In early 2018, after the Logan Paul Japan issue Jake was seen as the better Paul brother but Logan Paul really matured and involved to be more stable and honest than Jake
@@ronibarlund4464 yeah thats the one thing now i hate about Logan.

When you buy a papyrus with stuff written on it you have the papyrus, while when you buy the NFT, you buy a token that allows you to get to a server displaying a pic. Does the token exist? If the specific blockchain it belongs to goes down, not anymore. Do you have a right to the image? Unsure. No clear legal framework means obscure rights and duties.
So is it a scam? Let’s just say it has many negatives aspects with next to no positive ones.
well said my friend
The wait is always worth it, keep up the great work : D
I’d say nfts can be considered to be inherently bad when you consider a few aspects; for one, the transactions use up a shit ton of energy, which is pretty bad for the environment. Plus, there’s no inherent value you get when you own an nft. What’s the point in owning an nft if everyone else can see it and use it just like you? Plus, there’s already a way for digital artists to get compensated for their work, commissions allow the customer to get full control over the art and don’t use all that electricity.
The real value is that people think it has value. Just like actual currency today.

@@thatlawnmowerguy9 Well, that's what gives them value but its not "real value", its just a number that people put on it (just like the value of currency).
Like bro if you want good art just commission an artist for like 200 bucks and you get unique one of a kind and special customized artwork just for you. it's yours. no blockchain reciept needed, you literally own the copyright to that image. but naaaah 5 million bucks for a bored ape thats better.
Omg I'm so happy to hear this. I was at a party and a girl was preaching these while beating around the bush, I knew she was talking NFTs. I wasn't sure if maybe I was just too dunce to grasp the concept, but looking into them it just sounded flawed and ridiculous to me. How can you sell secure, digital copies of art?! Is it encrypted in the file somehow? Like?? What can you do to retain value with that? A genuine painting vs a print has tangible and visual differences, how is an NFT worth more than a copy? I don't get it.
basically its like you are paying to own it. Like you can say “I own this art” people can screenshot it all they want but the one who buys the nft officially owns it, if that makes sense
I love your videos, they‘re amazing! Everytime i see that you uploaded a new one i get soo excited. You hardly find videos with a quality such as yours!!
Some kid out there took their parents card to buy one of those NFTS, probably wasting a lifetime of savings on some pixels.
You don’t actually own the art when you buy an nft, you just own a receipt

ive spent quite a large amount of time figuring out what nfts are but your concise and quite unbiased explanation and analogy greatly helped me. thank you!!
Long time subscriber....but always catch myself binging all the classics due to loving this animation style.
The thumbnail is very accurate. Right after reading the title I exclaimed in a laughing manner, "again?"
You should talk about the pet sim x nfts. Everyone forgot about them but the dev never gave the items to the people who bought the nfts so he just scammed them out of 150000$
Over 1mil?
I have to say, NFTs are in fact bad. Most of the time buying one NFT has a worse climate impact than driving across the entire continental united states.
EDIT: This is because they require every computer on the blockchain to use an immense amount of power to prove aren't a bot. That happens thousands of times a second.
How so?
@@FZ-bk9kh To prevent bots, they require every computer to use an immense amount of power to prove they actually belong to a person. That happens thousands of times a second to everyone on the entire blockchain.
@@skyboioldchannel Its to prove they aren't double spending
I want Jake Paul to replace the guy in the “You try to steal my nft? Property theft is a joke to you?” meme.
I always have this thought in mind
If so many people agree nfts are stupid why are so many people buying it?
because there's still potential to make some serious money.
@@ytyoungrichnhigh they sure are hypocrites
@@MasterIsabelle mhm.
This whole thing with NFT's is incredibly stupid. People can just screenshot their stuff because it's literally not worth anything more than any other image online lol. It's a string of 1's and 0's that may or may not look good or bad. People who fall for people Scamming literal *images* that don't even look good are just plain stupid. I'm sorry but if you invest money into Internet screenshots then you're stupid in my eyes.
Also, I don't hate all Crypto currency because some-most can be money sources that are not all bad. Crypto currency is like gambling but a lot safer I suppose. You choose the money you put in but the difference is you can take it out and put it in at any point depending on the economy and stock prices.
That's not how it works tho. If you screenshot an NFT, that won't make you money lol. You can't just sell it after taking a screenshot of it.
@@spacemann1425 You missed the point entirely.
@@spacemann1425 but if you can easily gain access to it like that then it's worthless
@@spacemann1425 why would I ever buy it if I already have a screen shot of it?
@@messagefamilystyled1101 some things aren’t about utility, it’s about how u can exchange it and it’s demand. If hypothetically nobody in the world wanted money, it becomes worthless.
Though I agree that nfts are kinda stupid
I swear I could watch Andrei for hours, his videos end so fast.
I don't even fallow Jake's antics anymore but thanks to your channel I'm still able to comfortably hate him
Tbh I disagree with you; NFTs are inherently bad. Paying tens of thousands of dollars for a database entry with an IPFS link to an image file? That's incredibly foolish, because whoever is hosting that file can just... stop, and now your NFT points to a dead link and is effectively worthless. Factor in the environmental/energy costs of NFTs, and you realize we're literally destroying our environment and converting the very air we breathe into what amounts to "artificial scarcity technology". They're inherently bad, they serve no purpose, and they actively harm our environment. They are _bad_ as bad gets. Even if the actual files were stored immutably on the blockchain itself (which they never are, cuz storage costs on the blockchain are absurd), they'd still be pretty useless, and they'd still be actively detrimental to humanity as a species.
What happend to Andrei Terbea ? He has closed his instagram, twitter,
He died
@@presobug1825 Yep, he died. the family channels finally got to him.
It's cool to see battle cats getting more recognition, slowly but surely
I have been thinking, and the only NFTs that i would consider even decently worth it are artist collections. They would be so much limited than all the random procedure ones that i see put out daily.
Also, due to it being a more reduce number it would actually be worth it.
I feel like random procedure ones are just... a way for people to scam each other
In my opinion the problem with nfts isn’t how much people pay for the ugliest shit it’s the fact that it hurts the environment
These greedy rich guys are gonna go live in Mars while leaving us to rot in earth😔
@@manhaasif1748 shit you just proved to me that buying a jpg of a monkey worth millions of dollars is worth it

As a person who used to play battle cats I can say this game is VERY WORTH CHECKING OUT it’s so fun and if you like grinding that game is def for you
why just save the image of a NFT wait, someone is knocking in my door
I know these animation can’t come out every week and they take a lot of time and planning to create, but can I give you an idea: coco melon. It just purplexes me. Why did pewdiepie take so long to reach 100m when coco melon has overtaken him at 125m in online year or so and has over 155b views. Why is it so big and addictive and what’s it doing for kids. And if you do make the video, if you could, please can you tell people I came up with the idea as well as a link to my channel. Only if you want of course. Sorry. Anyway, there’s another idea and you’re doing great! Keep animating cause I love it
Heyyy Andrei!! Welcome back!! We love you!! Also, where can I send fanarts of you?? I have flashfloods in my area at the moment.. Stay safe!

Thanks for pointing out that NFTs aren't just art or scams
Honestly, if you really are a Jake Paul fan, you deserve to get scammed at this point...
As someone who watches a lot of Art Streamers on Twitch
i've heard a lot of NFT stories
But a good chunk of them are Their art getting stolen and used for NFTS
which is fucking disgusting
THanks for all the hard work, I hope you have an awesome Holiday and a great new year!
I'm impressed that battle cats still sponsors people, it's great to see.
It's sad to see that NFTs have become so abused that artists can't even do commissions without getting hate anymore.
I never seen normal artist with Beautiful art style getting hate. Hate gets these shitty 10000000 copies of the same thing with few changed things.
This being recommended a year later is such a fucking omen considering Logan's latest "business venture"
I'm not sure the "NFTs are the future" argument holds up - because they don't seem to have any positives at all.
The people producing NFTs aren't doing it because it's "the newest, coolest way to sell art". They're only in it for the money, hence why nearly all of them look like the by-product of hitting the random button on a doll maker. If they are good-looking, they're probably also stolen artwork - because the people selling NFTs likely aren't artists at all, and it's so much simpler to use a (dead) artist's work, without credit or knowledge, than make even the 'doll makers'.
There's also the massive, extremely detrimental, cost to the environment - though that's also a problem with crypto in general. It isn't possible to create something out of nothing, after all, even digital currency or art. In fact, they kind of need the ridiculously massive warehouses full of expensive super computers working 24/7 to turn the power (equivalent to the total power usage of a small country, such as Ireland) into digital money. They wouldn't have backing otherwise, or the "unique string of binary code" that makes up a NFT.
Then there's the cultish (pyramid scheme-like) devotion to the practice. The fact is, there aren't a lot of people actually buying NFTs. In reality, in order to make money, the seller will recruit a "down-line" of regular buyers, who, in turn, will seek to recruit their own buyers - because that's all the NFT is good for, to sell for more money than you bought it for. Once in, you will seek to justify your purchase, and will get easily provoked when someone dismisses it as "just a picture" or "a really poor decision".
Then there's the sour taste whenever someone - be they a celebrity, company, studio or friend - "falls to the dark side" and starts promoting NFTs or crypto like it's their newest MLM 'business' (it kind of is). You will feel betrayed and might even attempt to steer them "back to the light"; but this will be 'too little, too late' and will only make you hurt more, especially if or when they lash out at or dismiss you and your concerns.
I love how hard he works in each of his video, good job andrei
I think the biggest problem of NFT’s is how it hurts artists. Someone can steal someone’s art, make it an NFT, and to get it back they’d have to send out a lot of personal info to get the NFT taken down. Which… Yeah. It’s incredibly scummy and I feel I’d hurting a good lot of the artist community
He’s annoying but I can’t discount his grind.
This content is good, that's why I subscribed! :)
You got good taste bud
If people were buying andrei's video then that would make sense, but the art of Logan Paul nfts looks like a 10yr old drew it as a "fanart"
Jake Paul’s Fans: It’s not scamming if we can’t read.”
Didn't expect The Battle Cats to sponsor you lol
Great game!
2:18 skip sponsor
If there's one good thing about youtube removing the dislikes, it's definitely the fact the Paul Stans can't just mass dislike this video. I mean, they still can, it's just that the general public won't see the dislike count.
Big oof to people that fell for his scams.
Yup
OOF
Would never thought to see battle cats as a sponsor, I used to play this game so much during uni.
Anderi getting sponcered by Battle cats is epic
Viewer: Falls for the scam,
Jake Paul: Gets the Money,
Viewer: Calls The Suicide Prevention Lifeline
It's hilarious that people in the community called him out lmao
At this point andrei is basically my source of internet tea..
I didn't skip the sponsor because is a new one and it actually looks good
Me when Jake Paul scams a lot of people: i sleep
Me when The Battle Cats is sponsors someone: REAL SH!T
Don’t NFTs currently use a lot of energy

Im sorry but NFTs aren't innovative. Outside of this kind of trend going on, there is no other value.
In early 2018, after the Logan Paul Japan issue Jake was seen as the better Paul brother but Logan Paul really matured and involved to be more stable and honest than Jake
Logan does same NFT bs
@@ronibarlund4464 yeah thats the one thing now i hate about Logan.
I used to like him during his vlog days but after the KSI beef i hated him with a passion but after seeing Logan mature and seeing him being humble and taking losses to the chin and moving on i started liking him and actually now i find him really entertaining.
But yes the NFT shit he shares is c*ncer
Both are dirtbags, Logan hides it better.
Yeah I can't stand Jake, Logan is fine. I think it's hilarious how he and KSI are like great friends now, didn't expect that lol.
Omg man it’s been so long I been watching you keep up the grind

I thought this guy broke several YT guidelines and several laws in relation to advertising to minors...
Everyone does that. Even MR beast
@@yourgoingtohellyoutoo1282 I mean not declaring sponsorships and advertisements and treating it as it’s their regular content with no indication it’s a sponsor kind of thing.
Great vid, but considering the damage they do to the environment, the scummy behavior around them, and their unpredictable value, I would say NFTs are indeed bad.
Now it's Logan also
Runs in the family
"Oh nice NFT"

I wasn't even sure for a second if the game in the beginning was an actual sponsored mobile game ad or something from Jake Paul
its a real game I play it, ponos made it not jake paul
