Actual NFT implementation outside of monkey pfps

What use case does an NFT even have outside of monkey pictures? Sure, the blockchain could be relevant, but NFTs, probably not.

True digital ownership can have incredible implications for the wider market.

Gaming is one example. If Steam or Epic Games store shut down you lose all our games and they're gone. But if your games in the Steam library was part of the blockchain as an NFT, you'd be able to keep your games, play them, or bring into a different service. They'd truly be yours, just like a physical copy.

Now imagine other things. Imagine having rental contracts in the blockchain, meaning no reliance on paper copies. You could have your high school diploma and GPA registered within the blockchain not having to rely on government services (which can be a pain to use).

NFTs offer the possibility of true ownership in the digital world, with some incredibly futuristic applications.

I fucking hate the monkey pfps though

>high school diploma and GPA registered within the blockchain
Okay, so what happens if it's found out post-graduation a student cheated on all of their final exams? There's no way to revoke the student's diploma without forking the blockchain which would be a hassle. The fact it's immutable is a huge fucking pain in the ass for a lot of theorized blockchain applications.

bitcoin/crypto didn't change a single thing about life for any society except clickworkers switching to crypto clickers for a week.

Could be used for instantaneous transfers of physical ownership as well. Instead of having a paper deed controlled by the government, you have NFT deeds which can be traded rapidly. Buying a house, or even renting a hotel room could be fully automated with no human intervention.

Imagine being able to resell digital goods. Music, movies, games etc.

Federation and decentralization.

Canada got fucked by bitcoin when they became a dictatorship.

NFT as the web that way you can never delete anything you've ever posted and anything you've ever viewed or done. It will be based.

>But if your games in the Steam library was part of the blockchain as an NFT, you'd be able to keep your games, play them, or bring into a different service
This makes absolutely no sense. You can't store a full game on the blockchain. You'd be storing some kind of proof of ownership that a third party company would then have to acknowledge as being valid and keep original copies of the game on their servers for, which is no different than relying on Steam or Epic.

>Muh IPFS
Torrent rot is a thing.

And keeping private government documents on a public blockchain is a hilariously bad idea. Absolutely no one wants that.

fpbp

this sounds extremely retarded

Maybe VR or computer brain interfaces which let you type and click with your mind.

>so what happens if it's found out post-graduation a student cheated on all of their final exams?
It's like a journaling filesystem. You can have ISSUE and REVOKE operations. The blockchain tracks that the diploma was issued and then revoked.

This is all true. There seems to be a tradeoff between storage availability and cost. Most users consume compute via mobile devices, so you can't really rely on users to host their own data. I think these facts spell the doom of web3.

I think biomedical engineering is going to keep growing considering our aging population

nigger you can just save the files

Not just the games themselves, but the items within those games. Diablo 3's botched RMT auction house was an idea ahead of its time, turns out

if you listen to boomers, it's TEH METAVERSE
