I'll say it upfront: I like #blockchains. I think that they're exciting #tech and that there'll be use cases for them — and I have invested a little bit in a few crypto projects (eg, $BTC).
However.
The amount of nonsense in the #crypto world in general, and around #NFT's in particular, is astonishing. Proponents and advocates should be the first to call BS, for our own benefit.
I listened to [this recent #episode of the #Bankless #podcast with #KevinRose (of Digg fame)](http://podcast.banklesshq.com/95-how-kevin-rose-invests-in-web3), and in that spirit, I'll mention here five idiotic or at least naïve ideas expressed in the show:
Think that paying to have the #blockchain say that you are the “owner“ of a JPEG everyone can see on the internet was often silly enough? Think again. #KevinRose shares the good news that legendary collectibles can now be sliced into tokens so that we poor late arrivers can pay to have a blockchain say that we are the “owners“ of a _little piece_ of what _another_ blockchain says is the legitimate instance of a JPEG everyone can see on the internet.
Progress!
