a regular collectible is something physical, something you really own and enjoy

an NFT is a digital receipt, literally nothing. things that already pollute at least provide some benefit at a cost (with greener solutions); a car pollutes but can take us to A to B faster than walking, a computer can calculate and solve problems in seconds (like pollution ). an NFT pollutes just for the sake of polluting on a huge scale, where is the benefit of owning a digital receipt?

You can literally turn a physical object into an NFT, let's say Mona Lisa could become an NFT. All NFTs do is registering a token into the blockchain which shows that whatever you are buying is legitimate. So yes, NFTs can be good. In terms of physical items, it can be verified immediately without the need of a middle man to verify it for you which takes days.

Also since everything is becoming digitalized why not turn digital items into NFTs if they have worth anyway? We don't live in a physical world only anymore and the source of power becomes greener with time. I am pretty sure most people consume more power than what it takes to mint an NFT. I don't see anyone react this way to worse things that pollutes our planet, people's priorities are whack.

Y'all are nuts, its a free image in essence. 

Don't claim it if you don't want it?

Well if I do go, I wont be using it, I'll just pretend it's not there lol.

this happened with me earlier this year with a show i was supposed to go to, but couldn't go to the show. still gave me an nft from the show. i guess if they're giving it away, it's cool. but i don't support it

The concept of a new way to sell digital art is interesting but the execution of NFTs is a mess. They hold no real value or legitimacy. All they boil down to is a receipt of ownership over something you most likely don't even own. 

When it comes to legitimacy, Artists everyday are having their work stolen and minted on the blockchain as NFTs. One of the most popular sites opensea is notorious for being mostly stolen work. Unless there's a change in only allowing verified art to be minted then NFTs will never be a solid source when it comes to checking if something is legitimate.

To me I think if you want to buy digital artwork then just go directly to the artist and buy the copyright or a license from them directly. NFTs have a lot of conceptual, legal and environmental issues to work out before I'd even consider them a viable option.

You, too, can become part of this huge money laundering racket

But NFT isn't all about digital tokens though. NFTs were made to one day be used as a way to tokenize and verify physical objects. NFTs will be exploited until we regulate it.
