In-game digital items, tickets, reservations, certificates, coupons, keys, and many more use cases that haven't even been thought of yet because the technology has been around for barely ~4 years and is just now starting to see people to actually notice the potential in it, and the infrastructure to support it is finally maturing enough to realize that potential.

Remember that you only see overpriced JPEGs and the outrage about it because that's where the money (and hype, and marketing) is, but that doesn´t mean that people aren't using them to build other stuff. You need to give time for actually useful dapps to actually pop up, as opposed to just slapping a price on an image and calling it a day.

> In-game digital items, tickets, reservations, certificates, coupons, keys, and many more use cases

Literally none of these require blockchains. And literally none of these are aided in any way, shape, or form by NFTs.

For tickets specifically I already had this conversation recently, see my two responses here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29282931

The question still stands: do show us this "other stuff" so that it actually requires this tech.

> You need to give time for actually useful dapps to actually pop up, as opposed to just slapping a price on an image and calling it a day.

Dapps have been around for 8 years now. So...

We don't need to use cars to get to places, so why do we use them? And no, dapps have been around for 8 years but essential infrastructure to allow for complex ones has been popping up only in the last year or so. (see https://thegraph.com)

> We don't need to use cars to get to places

Yup. Because all crypto and blockchains are the Internet, and cars, and all other great inventions. Even if all signs point to them being the next Juicero, Enron and AT&T ISIS Mobile Wallet.

> but

There's always a "but", isn't there?

> Except I did, and your answer was "Yeah but you don't need blockchain for that!", which further confirms that you don't want to hear answers.

Oh no. I do want to hear answers. What you don't want to hear is valid questions and criticisms.

Your "answers" for "useful applications for NFT" are literally just a list if things that don't require NFTs (or are made worse by them) and a car analogy.

As always with crypto peddlers, I might add.

There is no discussion to be had here. Again, you don't want to hear answers, and the hostile tone further confirms it. Again. Peace.

> There is no discussion to be had here.

Of course

> Again, you don't want to hear answers, and the hostile tone further confirms it.

Ah yes:

Me: provides a clear answer, links to an extended answer to one of the claims (about tickets and NFTs), asks for examples of actual useful applications of NFTs

birracerveza: starts the conversation with an ad hominem attack ("you don't want to hear answers"), repeats the same attack several more times, claims it is I who is hostile.

Yup. Crypto peddlers in all their glory

You are attacking with actual ad-hominems ("crypto peddler" is an ad-homimem, pointing out that you're refusing my answer is not), discarding everything I write based on "You don't need blockchain to do that" and then, when I point out you do not want to hear answers because your entire point is "You don't need blockchain to do that" you claim I'm the one "attacking" you, distorting the conversation to fit your agenda. Read the conversation and see who is attacking who. You're providing no useful input, you just want to scream at "crypto peddlers".

This is the last reply you're getting from me.

You will never get an answer to that

You will never get an answer if you're unwilling to hear the answers.

If only anyone would actually give satisfactory answers. And not wave hands and add "because blockchain".

Except I did, and your answer was "Yeah but you don't need blockchain for that!", which further confirms that you don't want to hear answers.
