Its not a jpeg man its an nft it uses blockchain man it can't be replicated its totally the future now let me plug in 50 gpus I got to start mining
It's funny you say this because in the near future once blockchain usage becomes more mainstream, you're going to see NFT tech used for things like concert tickets, sporting events, movie tickets etc.. because they can't be counterfeited and produced at a fraction of the cost of traditional tickets. As long as the NFT sits in your crypto wallet, you're granted access to the event.
People tend to forget how much the original web was plagued with scams and such, or maybe some are too young to even know much about it.. Crypto is new and will take some time before it matures. But I believe decentralization is the future and is one of the reasons I'm on Lemmy.
Crypto isn't new. Bitcoin's initial release was in 2009. Two versions of MS Windows have been released and EOL'd since then. Five Star Wars films have been written, filmed and released since then. Intel released all 13 generations of their Core i# processors since then.
Allow me to clarify... Crypto itself isn't new.. But the way in which we interact with it is new. All sorts of platforms, metaverses, etc.. are still being developed through the bear market. These things take time to develop. Also, crypto usage is not exactly used by everyone right now, so I respectfully disagree with you.
