  • Not OP but in my personal experience I’ve talked to countless people that had no idea watching YouTube without ads is possible (without paying) and their minds were blown. With Google calling out attention to it like this, I’m sure many will get curious. Most people don’t use their electronics beyond basic functionality…

    And tbh you’re gonna be hard pressed to get real data of how many ppl are suddenly finding out about it.

    Because it’s a drug that gives you a feeling. Some people enjoy the feeling that smoking gives them, the addiction slowly follows after.

    The same works for just about any drug. I can assure you that heroin and crack addicts didn’t suddenly decide they wanted to be addicted to those drugs. Curiosity gets the best of people sometimes.














  • I’ll just use a small example… Let’s say you have an NFT for a online casino project. Simply holding the nft in your wallet will give you a weekly payout (certain percentage of profits for that week/month)

    I use this example because nfts can have many different uses. Another would be gated communities/gated access to online services. Hope that helps it make sense a little


  • Honestly, right now it’s like the wild west. The markets need a form of regulation. For that reason, I’d never recommend anyone get into nft trading without some serious research put into it. But as the space evolves, there will likely be thing put in place to solve this issue.

    Also wanted to say I also very much appreciate your response. Most here have decided to attack me instead of actually holding an intellectual conversation. Hope you have a great day!




  • Totally fair. I just see at as one of the many uses that are possible. Let’s day you couldn’t make it to an event and wanted to sell your ticket. It would be pretty easy to get the other users wallet address and make the exchange. Also, not all blockchains have high transaction fees. On the Solana network, for example, you can make the exchange for a fraction of a cent. It would cost you roughly. $0.0021 to make the trade.


  • I fail to understand your point. What extra step? You either get ownership or you don’t based on the asset you’ve acquired. NFTs don’t have alto be a once size fits all kind of thing. You are just oversimplifying it. The same can work for physical objects that you purchase. Vehicle manufacturers make it to where you can’t service your own vehicle sometimes because of special tools needed… So do you really own it? Hmmmm
