What do you guys think about the future of nft?
Many people think that nft is useless digital trash, but I have a different idea from them.
This is because many famous companies and platforms around the world employ blockchain developers and create related nfts in various fields such as art and sports.
I think it's now Nft's turn, just as Bitcoin has been treated as digital waste and its price has been upward.
Tell me what you think
You shouldn't really compare Fungible tokens or coins with non-fungible tokens. They serve a different purpose. Like comparing stamps to fiat money.
And i don't see it's NFT's "turn". NFT can coexist with fungible tokens, they are not fighting for the same space.
I still think NFTs are pretty pointless. Someone just might make an NFT using art os someone else and make money out of it. But NFTs can't be fully protected by the government, because it's crypto. But if it's not verified and protected by anyone, then what is the point of it and why the price of some of them is so high?
First we would need to understand why people view scarcity valuable in anything culturally semi important, then turn that scarcity to digital scarcity and you have your answer.
But what do you mean by not being verified or protected? Their whole deal is selling collectables with an easy verification. That someone is stealing art is more of copyright issue, not the NFT issue.
Flipping physical collectables in ebay means you would need to be sure they are original, how are you going to do that? You need just trust the seller, you can't check the smart contract being correct one. Not to mention you would need a dry storage space to store them.
With nfts it's impossible to sell digital counterfeits that could be confused to be part of the original collection. You can sell copies for sure just like in ebay you can sell cheap chinese knock offs but no one wants to buy those and you could check them way more faster then physical copies.
I guess your question should be why price of altcoins is high as this is all about concept of digital scarcity.
Marketcap of BAYC is around 1 billion dollars while marketcap of doge is 11 Billion dollars. So maybe better question is why dogecoin has over 10x value to the biggest NFT collection out there. It doesn't even have links to pictures attached to the tokens
