Hilarious. It's Second Life with an expensive video card. Stupidity is limitless.

“It’s important to me who wants to buy it, I will not sell this NFT to anyone because I do not think everyone deserves this NFT,” Estavi said.

Hahahahaha!

I think almost everyone has woken up to the NFT scam, one for the internet archives.

The rabbit hole.

[PhillipOrdonez]

Another reason to dislike the whole concept. Fuck neo-Nazis.

You missed a hyphen

Fixed it. Thanks avasopht.

It is easier to fool a person than to convince him he has been fooled. There are two kinds of NFT cultists, those who genuinely believe in it (mostly kids are susceptible to it, hence TikTok madness etc.) and those, who know what's up and in it for the money only.

Johnny Depp makes charity donation from NFT sale

Johnny Depp has donated nearly $800,000 to charity from the sale of NFTs.

The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor's NFT community, Never Fear Truth, raised a huge sum in donations and have split the money between the Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity, The Footprint Coalition and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles.

The company told RadarOnline.com: "We are pleased to be able to confirm that nearly $800,000 in total donations.”

The Children's Hospital of Los Angeles was one of two charities, along with the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), that Johnny's ex-wife, Amber Heard, pledged to donate her $7 million divorce settlement to when they agreed the terms of their split in 2016.

She said at the time: “The donation will be divided equally between the ACLU, with a particular focus to stop violence against women, and the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, where I have worked as a volunteer for the past 10 years.

“Money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves."

However, during the former couple's recent bitter defamation trial, the 'Black Mass' star's lawyer got the 'Aquaman' actress to admit she hadn't fulfilled her pledge, insisting she had been unable to pay because of ongoing court disputes with her ex-husband.

Wow, ... takes a special type of guy to donate to an organization that tried to do him wrong (presumably because he's more interested in the good that they do do).

Warner Bros. to Sell ‘Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ in Limited-Edition NFT Bundles, First for a Major Studio


Fanatical collectors of Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” will get the chance to buy limited-edition multimedia nonfungible token (NFT) versions of the fantasy epic.

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment is teaming with blockchain company Eluvio to launch “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” (Extended Version) Web3 Movie Experience, which will be available in two different editions that drop Friday, Oct. 21 at web3.wb.com. It’s the first time a major studio is releasing a movie as NFTs, which are unique identifiers that verify ownership of digital content.

“The Fellowship of the Ring” NFTs are the first ones to be available in the “WB Movieverse,” a new marketplace that will in the future include other titles from the studio. Jessica Schell, GM and EVP, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, said future releases are yet to be determined. On the platform, fans will be able to buy, sell and trade movie NFTs.

WB and Eluvio are minting 999 copies of the Epic Edition, priced at $100 each, and 10,000 of the Mystery Edition for $30. Both allow buyers to watch the extended version of the film (which clocks in at 3 hours and 48 minutes) in 4K UHD, along with access to more than eight hours of special features; hundreds of images; and hidden AR collectibles. The Epic Edition includes navigation menus for three film locations — The Shire, Rivendell, Mines of Moria — along with location-specific key art. The Mystery Edition includes one of them, assigned at random. The Epic Edition also includes extra image galleries not in the Mystery Edition.

To what? "Some people thought NFTs would…" ? I kinda like the unreal status quo.

I do not know. All i know is that it is such a ridiculous claim!

I suppose it's a matter of whether one finds such a ridiculous claim amusing.

The inevitable cryptocurrency collapse is not far down the line as is our fiat currencies. Back to bartering tangible physical commodities again guys once the power goes and all those 0s and 1s and your online bank accounts go bye bye.
Buy gold, buy silver, buy bullets.
See you in the streets.

If at any given moment throughout all of history someone in the world predicts this degree of disorder, eventually that person will be right.

But also a stopped clock tells the correct time twice a day.
