“Tom, my advice to you is - don’t tuck your shirt. I’ve done it for years, and now I‘m a millionaire.”
I don’t think he’s danced in that pink shirt the 3x he wore it. Did he really?I thought about using the pink-shirt-dancing-Cue photo.

I'm fine with him wearing a black button down shirt.I am surprised you are not using a photo of Eddy Cue with a colorful shirt.
Eddie just doesn't quite budge with Apple.I thought Apple cared about the environment? Eddie isn't quite aligned with that cause, apparently. https://www.wired.com/story/nfts-hot-effect-earth-climate/
In my opinion, V-Bucks are a literal waste of money. I'm just always going to stick with the Battle Pass. Maybe though.like when kids dump hundreds of dollars into fortnight....beyond me....
Same for me. Actually, him and Mark Zuckerburg.The absolute last person I would ever take advice from is Cue
I think so. From the looks of it it does.I don’t think he’s danced in that pink shirt the 3x he wore it. Did he really?
I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s one of the things Eddy Cue is advising them about.NFTs sound like a money laundering scheme. Also, I wonder if Apple is aware of how much energy is wasted on this crypto stuff? Surely that goes against their green goals?
I have some insight as I used to work for an NFT based startup. I don’t work for one anymore so I don’t have any skin in the game, but I am a believer.
An NFT can be anything digital, not just art. But it introduces something never before possible in digital goods. Scarcity/uniqueness.
This duplication isn’t true or people could just copy/paste their way to a billion Bitcoin. The scarcity aspect makes digital currencies possible. I can see why you think it can be duplicated, because you’re just thinking about the image Application, but the point of NFTs is that there is a digital trail pointing to who has the real one. Even with an image. A blockchain wallet would only display “the real McCoy”. So all the others are basically the same as taking a perfect picture of the Mona Lisa. It’s easy to prove now that the person doesn’t have the Mona Lisa, despite their very convincing print.But it’s not scarce or unique. When you put a digital asset online it’s a copy uploaded from a computer and it can be copied an infinite number of times. This is an unavoidable situation no matter what kind of database type, DRM, hashing, etc you can use.
NFT sites are literally full of duplicate images and copyright theft.
Apart from the criming and climate impact, the other big downside of these NFT sites is that they are getting so much stupid low quality art and other assets uploaded to them. There’s no curation or quality control. So if you’re a high quality content creator then your work has to share space with all the low quality 💩 💩 💩
It’s demeaning, devaluing and debasing to artists and making a mockery of their craft.
It's (still) amazing how little you know about this.Another get richer scam by the 1% and celebs and criminals who don’t care if it harms the planet or the little guy who can barely afford the fees and commissions to join in.

Thanks for taking the time to explain a bit how this works with its use cases, a bit rare over here.This duplication isn’t true or people could just copy/paste their way to a billion Bitcoin.

Also, artists can choose where to sell their work, just like IRL. Forget NFT auction sites. They’re trying to cash in quick and so are many junk artists, but that’s really not my point. NFTs and the scarcity they create is new and have profound implications that haven’t been completely understood yet but, as I said, it’s already being used for money, land deeds, art, music, supply chain provenance, and digital collectibles (including rare autographs).
