The thing I really enjoy about non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and "smart contracts" more broadly is that there's no way to get them to point to information or objects outside the blockchain without introducing a trusted third party, the whole thing you set up a blockchain to avoid.

It's worse tho, because most (ETH) mints will default to ipfs which can't guarantee perpetual hosting and is unlikely to perpetuate anything unpopular.

I'm angriest because NFT facilitators con artists and fans into contributing to climate crisis – the last thing most people would want to do. After that, I'm also mad about grifters selling NFTs that rip off the creators.

NFTs are easy to hate on, but over the past months, the parts of my community that have gotten the most excited about it aren't techies, but artists, because unlike the last round of media/streaming platforms, they're actually trying to get them paidhttps://twitter.com/sirsuhayb/status/1399252759849979905 …

With every crypto wallet address being traceable, large-scale laundering isn't possible. Even private blockchains like XMR are extremely small with regards to market cap. Let's say its entire cap is due to laundered money; 0.27% of the total crypto market would be laundered cash
