Sometime, but rarely, I must admit, I’m lost for words; when it comes to NFT I can only say wtf.

The computer age, which was in its infancy when I was in mine, just keeps rendering everything strange and stranger. Of every new fine thing that I have seen appear on the cyber horizon, this NFT phenom is the strangest of all. I perpetually fail to understand how such things can have any value at all.
I keep expecting some little Toto dog to sprint behind the curtain and yank it back to reveal a wiz of cryyptoz who is drumming up all these strange obsessions, or . . .
a wise child to suddenly shout out, in the midst of our constant online parade of weird new funny things, exclaiming that the new funny thing has no clothes and no reason to exist.
I just don’t get it. Maybe I’m one of those suckers who is born every minute.
But then again, I never got into video games thing either.

My guess is NTFs are to be Metaverse ‘real’ property. The alien Zuckerberg likely will be putting block chain patent enforcement on his artificial Sodom and Gommorah reality, so somehow this will keep the craze going. The art dispalyed on the wall of the NTF palace you bought for $16,000,000 will have to have a NTF proving your ownership of both the palace and the art, unless it is some ‘open source’ trash….. which will give no Metaworld -cred.
All the metaworld-cred in the world will not change the fact that most of the “players/users/inhabitant/citizens/…” will be fat 30+yo incels living in their parent’s basement, slurping on oversized soda drinks in their high end gamer chair.
I’m fine in the real world, thank you.

And I suspect bears will keep ****ing in the woods too.
