Topic: Am I the only one who loves BTC but hates the Metaverse idea and the NFTs? - page 4. (Read 704 times)

Well, this is just my own opinion --I have never been interested in the metaverse since I am currently focused on constructing a better future for myself. However, the fact that many people now live in the virtual world and play online games cannot be denied. I am still perplexed as to why NTFs matters most to the majority of us. But, whether it is a waste of time and money or whatever, I don't care. I support art however, I would prefer to spend most of my time on the value of bitcoin because I am aware of the benefits it can provide for my better future.

Well, i do get your point and do understand on how you do feel which i  do some sort have the same feeling with these current hype and interest in the market today which you could really raise up some

questions on your mind that whats the total relevance of these digital artworks and games or something called NFT's in bigger picture or overall aspect.?

Yes, you do love BTC and majority is been eyeing to accumulate this which is normal but there are people whom do really love to engage into something
even though we do call it dumb things.

There will be some type of restrictions here because if not this metaverse concept is dangerous for youngsters especially if they are not guided by their parents. Though I am not into NFT or metaverse, but I believe, these concepts are helping the awareness in crypto among people. I also like the fact that some never-heard good artists can sell their arts now. Because the reality is only popular artists can have their art exhibits. There are so many artists that are underrated and now, this is their chance to show to the world what they have done in a very economical way.

It is a choice whether we want to love which one.
And I think that it is not only you. Somebody else out there may also have the same opinion. The thought is that Bitcoin is the only one.
Moroever the metavere and also NFT may be cosndiered as a hype.
But forme, I love Bitcoin so much
But I am also following the NFT project (although starting haha) and also the Metaverse project. Of course, not all projects will be interesting. This is also like what we are considering when choosing the altcoins, needs some analysis to check which is actually worthy enough for hold.

yes animated porn will be a thing, but then porn is available on the web already.
im sure facebook will ask for ID to age check who can enter certain zones

I don't think you're alone, I don't like it,but  I don't hate it, the metavers project doesn't interest me in all respects, just like you humans will look stupid with their virtual glasses, I hope metavers fail because I as a parent are afraid if my child uses glasses that, can't control what he sees in the glasses

most NFT auctions are not real

they are where people purposefully bid high on their own product to get a high price, enough to be news worthy and go viral. so that they can set a mindset that NFT are worth alot more. then their second product they sell to real people knowing that the bids would be high.

it used to be a thing in brick and mortar auctions and even on ebay. people sell things to themselves to create value.
much like in the 1990's many people would sell a 50pence UK currency(£0.50) for £300($400) to themselves. to set a perceived value. and then try palming off lots of 50p's to unwitting people for anything above £100($135)

so dont base NFT auctions on value investment.

i see metaverse as just a more interactive retailers website. where they can look at things in 3d rather than a 2d 'click to buy' image.
where by virtual landscapes will become a virtual real estate industry

much like how NFL, NBA video games sell advertising space on their ingame billboards
heck even live TV coverage of real sports now can replace a billboard with a different advert for different regional tv stations where businesses pay to get their logo seen by local viewers of the on tv stadium grass verge

There's even far more worse than just a drawing of a bird, as just few days ago I recall a post in Facebook pertaining that someone sold a selfie/photo of their nips in OpenSea. I can't quite recall how much was it, but it cost more than a hundreds of dollars. I forgot to include it in my recent post in here, as I just recalled it when you mentioned "crayon drawing of a bird".

First i like the fact that you are not the type that follows the mass without an opinion, because many who are constantly acting as activists for NFTs and the Metaverse, creating the hype, do not actually understand the concept behind it. Unfortunately, many are just intrigued by the hype and want to act up to date. I don't have anything against NFT's and Metaverse, i feel they have created opportunities for artists and graphic designers/others in that field to stay relevant, but although they are an investment to consider, do not use all your btc for NFT's.

People have widely varying definitions  for what they mean when they say "NFT" and "metaverse".

As far as the world of "digital tchotchkis" that everyone is buying right now, those NFTs are an economic dead-end waiting to happen. A ponzi scheme at best, where early adopters and creators get to take advantage of FOMO gripping the digital investing space right now and squeeze money out of the ignorant and greedy.

Tokenized investment vehicles, however, which will be in the form of tokens that will be unique and non-/minimally-fungible, are the future of real estate and commerce globally.

But the value in all this crap passed off as "digital art" will make its way near zero over the medium term.

Regarding the metaverse, it's similar. Any value that will be created in the gaming space will come from established studios that know how to make fun games. They will find ways to add NFTs and tokens to their games, not some random blockchain jockeys selling a token and saying "give us your money we'll build a good game, how hard can it be?"

Current blockchain/ metaverse games:
(1) are awful;
(2) have no communities; and
(3) are built around blockchain first, token-selling second, and gameplay far down the list.

For gaming, that's a guaranteed bankruptcy. Because its blockchain, there are $billions of sucker investment who will FOMO into it, apparently, and keep this space funded...  for now.

I never liked shitcoins and I don't like NFTs. They're nothing but a gambling opportunity where you buy trash hoping that you can sell it to someone who doesn't understand it for more, or that there will be someone who is like you but thinks he still has a chance to fetch a higher price.

Like think for a second. If I gave you a crayon drawing of a bird would you pay me $1k for it? I'd promise that it's one of a kind and that I'll never try to sell a drawing of a bird like that.
If you wouldn't then the question is why people do it? Why do they think a stupid 16 bit pixel art is worth a million dollars? You have to be crazy to think you can keep making money selling pictures of animals in hats drawn in paint.

We share a common feeling towards NFT stuff but I admit it, even if people hate it and look at it as useless and just a waste of time and money, thinking the profit it can give by taking advantage of people's idiocracy, I think is good enough reason for profit loving wise people to indulge themselves in participating on these so-called profit-generating venture.



It has been since the beginning.  Only people with super big funds in their pocket can shine in NFT games.  Well, it is actually the custom in any pay-to-win game.

You are not likely to be the only one who has nothing toward NFTs.
Personally, i just love bitcoin and two other altcoins. I am not OK with all the waves that came with the expanding growth of the Blockchain technology, including NFTs and Meme coins.
About NFTs, i think it's a wave moved by Hype and it still haven't any real utility or use cases. I would never be a fan of nonsense called "Digital Arts" .

I recently heard that NFTs has become a game for the rich. Don't get me wrong, anyone can invest but then, to get NFTs with some real value or to put yours out, the funds are huge and for what!? That's the biggest surprise, for what! What's the point in actual of having some virtual art. Something that is easily pirated by just anyone and everyone. Not like it's being displayed in some digital museum or something or you would get some monetary value per view on the piece. Its just there and getting overrated. I think, its time would pass because, its idea isn't concrete enough.

Bitcoin have survived so long and even taken some other forms to it because, if was supposed for an everyday life or usage but then, its value turned and even at that, its original purpose is still maintained. Though, its really used but NFTs, I can't say!

Aren't people already living in virtual fake universes even without the called metaverse hype? Every mmorpg or dumb mobile app game are a kind of metaverse where people put hundreds or thousands of dollars on their accounts to upgrade their stats or make their characters look cooler. And it really works for developers, otherwise many popular online games which are alive for decades already would be dead at this time.

NFT just upgrades this ecosystem a little bit. So instead of only putting money on games without cashing out anything, now you will be able to sell your stuff as well if you wish at some point. For me there isn't any cons on it. That is actually pretty good and rewarding for people who spends their whole lives on virtual environments playing videogames.

Never really cared about Metaverse aside from just hearing it a lot here in the forum in the Altcoin Discussion. About NFTs, I never really bought any NFTs nor I have the plans to do so in the future. People are now looking at NFTs as either an artwork being sold in OpenSea or just another in-game item/s in a random game. I am still curious about these two you mentioned, but from how it is being seen and used by my friends in social media, I don't think I am getting way further from what I knew about it.

I think that the general ideas of the Metaverse are sound, and having a unified virtual space for various experiences could be a good thing. But for that to be actually nice and useful, it should be a decentralized system, not something built by Facebook Meta or Microsoft. If you're talking about VR, it's actually pretty good and allows experiencing things you're not going to experience otherwise (walking around bizarre worlds of video games, flying a helicopter and things like that).
As for NFTs, I don't hate the idea of them, but I think there's way too much hype over them, and they are not very useful for anything apart from supporting those who create art.

I am not so much a fan of NFTs but why I should have to hate NFTs!! 
I don't like NFTs cause it seems useless to me, all of these are hype,

ICO, STO, IEO, IDO, meme coin, NFT all are hyped projects and evolved from time to time.
I've heard people say that NFTs are very popular with artists, maybe it will play an important role in preserving the art of future generations. Many people collect NFTs as a hobby. I don't like NFTs because they are of no use to me, so I don't hate them.

I strongly support bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies but when it's about metaverse I cannot really place my bets on there. For me the whole idea of NFT is legit at many places but I would never own an NFT for sure, NFT'S are definately becoming a big part of everyday routine and at the same time they are getting a lot of recognition from everywhere as well. Something that might be valuable in a few year's time is definately a good investment. Also it's providing a lot of artists recognition but then again always receiving those notifications on the Instagram is quite annoying people are turning it as a scam and also tracking the people down as well. I think it's a 50-50 thing, the metaverse.

Everyone has their opinions. If you will ask any artist whether they like the NFT or not ? Then obviously given the chance to put their artwork online and get paid they will always say yes for it. It’s their wager you know?

Obviously personally we can always put forth our decision to like bitcoin or NFT or metaverse; but things do not work on individual opinion.

For anything to be successful both sides need to be thoughtfully learnt and in this case usability of coins over blockchain and the user himself.

Let’s not forget the waste of money for you became someone daily wage because of NFT.
