Ai has real applications and uses that can help us. NFTs do not
NFTs also have legitimate uses. The problem is people treat them like an investment instead of, y'know, a token.
Everything an NFT can do other tech can do better and for less energy, NFTs are worthless
Ok, show me every single holder of an Ame72 piece and the respective market in real time.
(by the way Ethereum, the largest NFT chain, uses less energy than your dishwasher now)
Easily done with a registry that one could do on paper ffs, significantly less energy than my dishwasher
There's nothing an NFT can do that other tech can't do better and with less power
Ok show me every single holder of an Ame72 piece and the respective market in real time.
Nah, don't really feel like doing that
Keep pretending your bullshit tech isn't smoke and mirrors, dipshit
No. You can't do that because it's not possible.
Ahh there's the ad hominem! Classic crypto-hater retort when you know that you're wrong and you're too stubborn to admit it. It's not smoke and mirrors, it's literally open source. You can check everything onchain. You can check the code.
Ethereum currently uses 0.0026 Annual Energy Consumption in TWh/yr. That's for everything that's on the network: all of defi (lending/borrowing, CDPs, insurance, mortgages, payday loans, exchanges, derivitives, etc), real world assets (RWAs, Blackrock's BUIDL fund alone is up+364.65% YTD), NFTs/collectables, social media, gaming, identities, etc. This energy consumption is less than orders of magnitude less than netflix, paypal, gaming, etc.
Get blocked troll.
The battle cry of the pathetic loser who can't handle someone staunchly not falling for their bullshit
"AI" doesn't exist. You're just recycling grifter hype.
