that depends on how daz arranged the deal with the artists - ie if i were daz and i said I'd sell and promote your nft for a commision - what would the agreement be. I don't know daz's exact angle,  but they are in a good position to really capitalize on this market and tap into a new audience. 

Iclone would be even more powerful because of their ability to render Virtual reality which synergizes with the facebook metavers and each "location" is considered real estate in this business model.   so abstractly,  RL has the power to become property developers with the right perspective and pipelines.

It's crazy,  and it's all about perception ...and ironically the word of the day "relativity"  haha!

what is the true value of money ?  whatever you imagine it to be.

@PSD: I'm not so much worried about DAZ's arrangement with the artists, but more about those who buy the "art". Of course it's there choice.

Anyway, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree. You think it's great, I have serious doubts.

well that's the funny thing about this nft market -  it's purely based on fomo and hype -  "fear of missing out" - so it comes down to marketing.

The reason all this ugly art is selling for big money,  is because it's a collection that was given freely to a popular community - all these guys are excited and happy to be part of this trendy new nft movement .....now 10k people have a unique version of this free image,  and one guy says ...oh wow,  I have the rarest image of all ....now 10k people are saying ....yoooo....I want that !!   no different than having the coolest sneakers in school......

and now the news is covering how that 1 nft was bought by that rich dude who wanted to have the coolest and rarest nft in this thriving community. - suddenly everyone is like OMG -  who has the 2nd most rare nft ?? and now you have people collecting all the yellow ones,  and raising the value that way,  others have all the scifi ones,  another one collected all the versions with hats ....all hype  how does the original creator make money after giving away all his nfts for free ? by making commissions on 2ndary sales and keeping his collection in the news heh!

yes,  if you are not part of that community -  you will lose a ton of money for trying to invest in the most popular trend of the moment.  -  it's really fascinating to study,

you bitcoin nerds ^^.    My two cents on the entire bitcoin thing and any other version of it that exists now.    It may be a solution in the future but its also simply another generation of ecurrency and we have been here before.   It was created to solve certain problems, but in its life so far its actually now got the same problems it was created to supposedly fix.   If you listen to people like Elon musk he now admits after its been around for awhile that its not really the right solution.   

That being said its fun to play with I suppose, but its also going to cost a of of people a lot of money in hard lessons because these will go away too eventually and for similar reasons the previous versions went away for.  So hopefully anyone who uses it doesnt leave their money in that system and converts it so 'old fashioned' money before it has a risk of going poof due to some market crash.     Best place for your savings is still a sock in my opinion.  Banks have problems and so does this.   And the problems are identical

Honestly,  I neither am for or against crypto -  it was simply a big trend that I started following after I realized how much it's being pushed into the mainstream. I just usually try to have fun with anything I'm studying lol.  

The crypto trend runs deeper than the obvious -  at it's bottom line is weaponizing currency.  - originally,  Crypto was designed to combat the centralized bank,  the movement started catching momentum,  and the banks and governments realized it's potential,  so they've since been working at centralizing it -  thus all recent bull and bear markets -  every time a new billionaire invests and supports,  the market goes up,  everytime a government puts up a new regulation or some nation outlaws mining it, it crashes - everything else happening in between is really just a distraction.  NFT is a just a trend meant to entice more crypto users,  it's not really about art,  it's about creating demand.

The behind the scenes action has also stepped up as China is creating it's own digital Yuan with the idea of using it as a weapon against the US -  I can't say I fully understand how exactly China is planning to do this,  but it's known that they are planning it that way because they are making it completely seperate from crypto. asking people to give up crypto at this point,  is like asking a super power to give up nuclear weapons.  History is being made,  but in a way that's not obvious to the general public.  We are in whats called a "gentleman's war" in secret society lingo lol.

Crypto currency is here to stay.
Daz's so call " Non fungible people"
Is a cynical attempt to exploit buyers who don't know how easily Daz Genesis figures and content can be purchased or pirated.

And it's pandering by only releasing non binary & female "NFP"
I Guess us hetero males are too "toxic" for the woke rabble

crypto will be a reality eventually, but not this itteration.  If you can hoard it and have it acquire value just by sitting there then your bound to go down the same path we have already in 'old fashioned' money.     So its an interesting experiment, but the reality is that its also a failed one in this itteration.   Some guys will take this information and come up with yet another generation of ecurrency and maybe that one will be better.     

Likely the only way we will get a viable crypto currency is with global collaboration of all the majory powers to make it work and it should be err non-hoardable (in that if you hoard it it will go up or down in value ..) and able to be used in any country.   Their mistake was attaching it to a stock market sort of deal.

And maybe they come up with a version that is more energy efficient...:unsure:

haha oh that too!
We had a couple of crypto mining things shut down up north around here.  They we causing brown outs at one point.   

Maybe if they fixed all the issues with it.. we could get graphics cards again at a reasonable price .. wouldn't that be swell!

if i were to drop my happy go lucky dragon face for a moment,  I don't like crypto -  i can see a future where they attach your credit and life history to your money, with your dollar being worth less than Bill Gates's dollar.  that would be horrible -  but murphy's law is in effect here. "Sorry,  we only take green dollars,  not red, try the ghetto in the next town"   I have a theory that aliens gave us tech to slow the evolution of humanity down so our brains would be tender by the time we are able to travel to their galaxies ... haha!
