    The sad thing is the concept wasn’t.

    Selling NFTs with no physical existence is what is pointlessly stupid.

    Before they came along i considered the idea of a blockchain linked video camera where metadata of footage gets written into the chain to combat fake news and misinformation.

    The goal would be to create a proof and record of original footage, to which media publishers and people who share can link towards to verify authenticity/author.

    If the media later gets manipulated or reframed you would be able to verify this by comparing to the original record.

    It was never a finished idea but when i first read nft i thought this is the right direction.

    And then capitalism started selling apes and what the actual disgusting money possessed fuck was that.
