Epic, the maker of the popular Fortnite game, is seeking to show that executives at the Alphabet Inc. unit were eager to discourage the proliferation of third-party app stores that would cut into Google Play’s operating profit.
Until the blockchain bro actually provides evidence that their system works, I would approach it with skepticism generally reserved for people with long trench coats beckoning you into dark alleys.
It’s an idea to play with… I dont think the specifics are all ironed out, but maybe with more building and more ideas would we control our data and earn from it like the corporations do.
Not just that. You also have to pay a fee to get your NFT, so you have to spend money before you might make money later… If anybody buys one of the 80 or so NFTs that have been made since this project launched over a year ago
Right. They also attempt to reward people by dangling a proprietary cryptocurrency in front of them. And that creates a whole new series of perverse incentives, like hoping once they have acquired a cryptocurrency, that they can find a greater fool to sell it to.
We leverage Ai and blockchain technology to guarantee user privacy, anonymity, and trust.
Okay, yeah, this is genuinely insane. Blockchain doesn’t mean anything except for “append-only distributed database” and “AI” in anything less than a technical context is also meaningless.
Own Your Data with NFTs: Secure, immutable, and blockchain-certified. No fine print, just you in control.
And we already know how much of a joke NFTs are. They are digital receipts at best. If I can download somebody’s monkey picture and own it more than they do, then saying your data is protected by one is dishonest.
In 2022, “130 NFTs were claimed, and 59 NFTs were minted.” A year later, they’re up to 77. That’s 18 mints in 365 days.
I think you’ll have to be creative and tell me what they solve that other, more efficient, existing things don’t.
I’ve been quite creative here by diagnosing myriad issues with this system. It’s over engineered, it uses too many buzzwords, It’s woefully under adopted, it won’t ever replace an existing system, etc.
Regarding NFTs, you’re going to have to be the one to convince me they have any value, as calling them glorified digital receipts is maybe a bit too kind.

Seems like yet another survey rewards site except maybe with blockchain and dollars
You can download your Spotify data for example and get rewarded for it.
Hmm, where would you sell it to?
Data market

It says that the NFT is optional

Have a longer think on that. Interoperability with receipts and a programming language. Sounds like it could go somewhere.
