    I think he has a great need to launder foreign money, the Russians and Saudis need their useful idiot.

    Interesting... perhaps my understanding comes from NFT advocates.

    If he gets re-elected, maybe he should take those along to his trips abroad and show them to foreign leaders. They'd probably have to try really hard to not laugh him out of the room.

    PT Barnum would be proud, another sucker will purchase these EFTs at top dollar and then it will really be worth far less than what they paid for.

    Ever see those commercials for various products that are marketed as limited edition items? Commercials for those collectible coins or decorative plates are a great example that comes to mind.

    In those commercials they always tell you that the item comes with a certificate of authenticity. That's essentially what an NFT is, only the certificate is for a digital item that probably has no physical counterpart. The NFT is your certificate of authenticity that the digital item you bought, be it an image or even a video game item, is original and you are the owner of that copy.

    They are designed to get people to pay money for things you can normally just copy for free, especially in the case of things like these trading cards which don't exist physically(or at least aren't for sale as physical items).

    The NFT can be verified through blockchain technology which is essentially the backbone of how crypocurrencies work. The blockchain allows you to verify who owns the NFT and can even be used to track that NFT if you then resell it to another person.

    But at the end of the day, a potential buyer needs to be aware that when you purchase an NFT, you're purchasing a digital receipt that says you own a digital product of some kind. Unless the item you bought is something other NFT buyers might want to pay you money for someday, you're not really buying something that has any value or use but through the blockchain, you'll be able to prove that you are indeed the owner of said useless item.

    The most basic function of currency is being able to buy things with it. Being able to buy groceries, being able to buy household items, being able to buy property, ect. If it doesn't maintain the trait of being generally accepted for that same basic use, it really shouldn't be classified or compared to currency.

    No, old saturday morning cartoons were a hell of a lot better and more entertaining. Who could forget the SuperFriends Hour, or Scooby Doo, MASK, the Amazing Spider-Man, and so forth. Instant baby sitter, along with your favorite high sugar cereal in front of you for three hours until you had to go outside.

    The irony is what Trump did in the past is the exact same thing he is doing as a "politician." I have been following for Trump. We even had a study when I was in college as Trump was using Junk Bonds to pay for building his Taj Mahal Casino. And even us students, mostly conservative, said it will never work. We have him two years before the casino filed for bankruptcy as the consensus. The professor, who was a die-hard balance budget conservative finance guru agreed.

    Trump's immigration and trad policies have been the same as well.

    Just take a screen shot of the stupid image, and you can open your photos every day and masturbate to it. You’re welcome. Just saved you tons of money.
