  • For once it would be nice for crypto bigots to actually have their own ideas instead of parroting ridiculously wrong meme talking points

    When was the last time the Average Joe had a problem with illegal subletting or a complicated discovery process?

    There are tons of processes that the ‘average joe’ isn’t aware of that affects their life. Illegal subletting drives up rent prices and causes fire hazards (that affects EVERYONE), I have had friends who rented an illegal sublet without realizing it and were thrown out by the original owner.

    Illegal subletting is a big enough problem in my state that the state has a literal funded task force to address it. If everyone adopted NFTs as ownership marks, this task force would be largely unneeded.

    Also: you are cherry picking like a mofo

    The NFT IS a contract

    No, it is not.

    Yes, it is, as all parties can clearly be identified, the document cannot be altered after creation without the participation of both parties, and is a matter of public historic record.

    The PROBLEM is you think that I’m talking about copyright law, which is what 90% of the blog posts on NFT contract legality covers, and I’m not at all but property law.

    More importantly, though, if crypto advocates’ claims are valid, then it shouldn’t matter whether a smart contract is a legal contract.

    This sentence alone has convinced me you really don’t have any clue what you are talking about, and you are just using every meme you know to create a firehose of lies to protect your fragile ego.

    Just accept you made the wrong choice about crypto based on some funny memes and zero understanding.











  • actually having to pay off extra passengers can get expensive, up to 10k per seat, so even one willing passenger without a seat is a loss, but they accept that possibility based on a curve over time of profit across all flights calculated on historical outcomes. Some flights will be overbooked and they accept that as the cost of making sure that other flights are more filled

    The reason they overbook is that there is no human way to seamlessly transfer ticket ownership between pass holders down to the moment of boarding, across all venues and services where the tickets are sold.

    NFTs add a platform that is universal, secure, and publicly accessible. No other database offers that


  • You know, when reddit first started, no one minded long replies, in fact they were considered a mark of excellence and understanding. Long, accurate replies were almost always the top comment in non-meme subs.

    Then smart phones became popular and every idiot gained access to the web

    Suddenly, around 2012, you started seeing comments disparaging long replies as being ‘nerdy’ or ‘tryhard’. On FUCKING reddit, the HOME of the nerds!

    It was a real emotional whiplash to me for a place that once welcomed detailed discussion to start mocking users for creating quality reply content

    That’s when I realized the internet was fucked because of people like you.


  • You can do this with a database.

    Yes because blockchain is a database. What it brings that other databases CANNOT is 1) Unfalsifiability baked in to the product at a fundamental level and 2) A universal framework for enacting contracts that are secure enough to use in court as a legally binding document (adobe paid and passed on to the customer a ridiculous cost to make their product compliant with this, for blockchain it is already baked in

    You can do this with a PIN code.

    A horse will take you to the grocery store too, but the NFT of the apartment also comes with the legal documents that show you are the valid resident unlike just a pin code. This also protects the customer from brokers and services from using illegal subletting as you can only get the ‘pin’ from the last valid owner, and that access can be traced back to the initial moment the property entered the blockchain. Also in court, discovery is stupidly easy as all transactions are public and secure

    You can do this with databases.

    Yes and every company has their own database system and almost NONE of them talk to each other and none of them are public ledgers and absolutely none of them operate on consensus polling, meaning trust needs to be established directly, custom APIs need to be crafted for every paired trade instance. Nearly every blockchain comes with that baked in, and has been actively tested and attacked for a decade and a half with zero failure of the underlying blockchain technology.

    it’s not the NFT that’s binding, it’s a contract, and the NFT is just a proxy for the contract. The NFT adds no value.

    The NFT IS a contract, this is what you are missing, and the value it adds is immense which I have demonstrated thoroughly in counter to every weakass claim you have made and you still adamantly refuse to admit your failures

    You are so welded to your meme identity it blinds you to a useful and functional thing



  • So an airline wants to sell every single possible seat on every plane, but not have too many people on the plane on takeoff because buying off those customers costs money, but plenty of customers cancel last minute so it is inefficient to only hand out just as many tickets as seats. The number is arrived at by sophisticated behavior algorithms that aren’t very accurate, but are more accurate than current human estimations

    There are also 3rd party sellers that receive segments of ticket and can and do act as brokerages in a grey market that if the idiots in washington understood would be a lot more heavily regulated

    What NFTs bring to the game: New classes of tickets: Quantum Tickets. They’re not really tickets till you board.

    So you have normal seating for the existing classes, 1st to coach that are NFT guaranteed and once you have your ticket you KNOW you will be getting that seat. You can also transfer ownership of this ticket yourself for any reason, automatically and seamlessly through the app

    Now we have a pool of quantum travelers that for the savings of a bit on the price, enter a randomized allocation of the remaining unused tickets, late cancellations, and other non-check ins.

    ALL seamless, all on the app. From the outside it looks like any other boarding situation but now we have a very good chance every single sold seat will be taken.

    Can’t do that with existing systems, the methods of transfer are platform locked and even ones that offer API refuse to play with other services.

    NFTs make a universal contract language that any business can use to transfer assets automatically and programattically in such a way that CANNOT be falsified

    There is literally no other open source, cross platform solution that even comes close to offering 30% of this


  • Sure, but this is not a positive argument for your position.

    So now you’re just going to discount the time I spent setting you up several use cases?

    You can prevent overbooking without blockchain/NFTs. Airlines overbook because they want to,

    And the reason for their overbooking, maximum profit, would be achieved seamlessly with a blockchain based ticketing system as there is no human input lag that causes double booking

    You keep arguing that there are other ways of doing the things that the programatic nature of NFT contracts offer but NONE of them provide it all in one ridiculously transparent, unfalsifiable open source way that can be literally implemented on every platform

    That’s why I used the car and the horse example, you are the one saying: “Yes we already have horses already, why do we need a car? And how would a horse even USE a car you silly billy?”

    The really sad thing is I’m waiting for a moment of realization from you that it is blatantly clear you are incapable of achieving. Pretending to be open minded is intellectually dishonest
