I think we already know the answer to that question...

Come on, this NFT crap is just plain stupid.

When we all get uploaded in computers, we will be able to touch it. Then cardboard will have no more meaning to us since it will be in the physical world.

I got involved in NFT's and made lots of money. I think it is silly, but it allowed me to take the profits and buy some nice cardboard.

There can be infinite copies of NFTs. Literally the only constraints are power and storage space.

I didn't see the attraction of the internet or cryptocurrency at first either

The funniest part is you get to chat with mickey mantles sons. Like...who cares?

SupermanBrandon · 02-10-2022, 04:19 PM

Looking forward to watching the owner "trade/sell" it between his multiple wallets over and over. While the morons claim NFTs are making bank.

You'll probably care after you realize that's who you were bidding against.

Based on your last two comments, I'm convinced you own some NFT's...

Yes. I’ve bought and sold many in the past year. And I’ve bought and sold a lot of cards

rogueriver · 02-10-2022, 05:50 PM

A fool and his money will soon be parted.....So basically you are buying a digital item that does not exist and people call that value, crazy times we live in.

monkeymcgee · 02-10-2022, 05:56 PM

I'm 45 and own many NFTs, so don't blame your age for a lack of interest.

The internet is a wonderful tool that opened up the world to everyone. You can research anything in a blink of an eye. Cryptocurrency is just a Ponzi scheme. Big difference.

By that definition, so is cardboard. It will only go up in value as long as people want to pay a higher price. People who get in early have more potential gains. You trade fiat for paper images.

And it's a greater fool scheme, not Ponzi. There's no money flows to early holders--they have to sell.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the money laundering that happens with the Mickey Mantle NFT.

I love how you guys act like this doesn't happen with cards. Hate to ruin the fairy tale, but you too participate in a market full of fraud and criminals.

Skipscards · 02-10-2022, 06:44 PM

Dumbest thing since unsliced bread.

Gustomania · 02-10-2022, 07:37 PM

Stupid, let me take a picture of a card and sell it

These are the dumbest things Ive seen

Worse yet, it’s a picture of a picture that anyone else has access to and can act like they own it and enjoy it as much as you, but for free…
