Think cryptocurrency is bad? NFTs are even worse.

Yes. NFTs are such a terrible thing. It is so immature right now with ridiculous NFTs being minted like an epidemic. Humanity's dark side is on full display with it. But I have hope that it will mature, and pave the way for the metaverse.
This is a good opinion about NFT. Indeed, it is a trap. https://seths.blog/2021/03/nfts-are-a-dangerous-trap/
I acknowledge and am now aware of the cons of NFTs. However, I would still like to explore it for the creative aspect. Also, I believe it is inevitable and necessary for the evolution of the metaverse.
My exploration into #NFT has taken me to #decentraland. I know javascript and some 3D stuff, and I love virtual worlds / metaverse (I dabbled into SecondLife years ago), so it was kinda natural for me to pick decentraland scenes as my new playground.

I just see it this way: we, and everything else is interconnected, and are all part of something bigger than the sum of everything.
I'm still new to NFT's.
What the funge is an #NFT?

Memory Without a Brain: How a Single Cell Slime Mold Makes Smart Decisions

This single slime mold already makes "smart decisions". Now imagine thousands of them communicating with each other. The emergence of something bigger than these conglomerates is inevitable.
Lots of people are forgetting (or does not know) what 'Free Speech' really means.
SMH when stupid celebrities cry censorship when they get fired for saying idiotic things.
Remember:
"free speech" DOES NOT mean "the freedom to say whatever you want without any consequences."
This old-ish article is worth reading even now:
