non-fungible token

right now, people are making NFTs out of complete shit. normal JPGs. these type of NFTs have no intrinsic value. so it's driven by market demand

in theory, there are uses for NFTs, but right now, its all a ponzi scheme that people like Logan Paul, Elon Musk, and the UFC are doing at the expense of their fans
What kind of dumbass buys them?the psychos that purchased them will be fighting over context next.

in case i wasnt clear, heres another way to think of NFTs (at least, the way they are being used today)

i take a screenshot of the comment your just wrote. i get copyright of that screen shot. people then buy and sell it on an NFT market like a stock. of course, a stock is supported by the future operations of the company. a stupid screenshot of your comment has no value other then people gambling that someone else will buy it for more than they bought it lol

You switched off as I explained.

You know the meme with Drake that's orange and yellow. 2 images?

Hang on. Do you know what a meme is first?
No.

All sounds like bollocks to me.

Truth Social literally cloned Twitter and is a dud.
Trump is not known for his business success.

Guy fucked up 3 casinos. He has litany of failing at trying to emulate other successful business models.

If you had someone with a clue and the requisite dough copying Twitter isn't a stretch. Its a 2d model.

id say in 2 years or so it loses to meta anyway.

VR is the future. If you were smart you'd get yourself vr ready.

Twitter could become extinct very quickly. Just like texting did. I reckon it remains relevant as journos and news rooms adore it. It does their job for them.

but once content dries up…..

How is content going to dry up? Look at the Ukraine thread or any other breaking news thread. A dozen tweets per page for the latest developments. Anyone involved in a global news event who has something to say to the world, they default to Twitter.

Because you're thinking now.

In 2 years time it's eminently possible the new smart phones shoot in vr.

You will watch the content in real time live with the reporter/camera man so you are actually there.

Twitter will still be active but it won't get to be cutting edge.

Definitely it will still exist but it won't be what under 30s want.

Twitter is old tech.

Twitter is TV. Its great. Smart phones are great. But I would suggest it's at its pinnacle. Maybe this plateau last for 5 years.

But believe me vr is coming. For live sports. Porn, News, anything.

TV will maintain but the future isn't twitter. A new version will emerge.

Facebook meta know this.

Its a bit like teletext or ceefax.

Or fax machines.
