The promise of NFTs was to represent real world assets such as property deeds, mortgages, vehicle registration and ownership. Yet all we see is stupid "digital art" masquerading as investments or as avatars for social media accounts. How is a randomly computer-generated image composed of a few individual components (face, hat, eyeglasses, etc.) worth anything? A person could generate their own "digital art" such as BAYC, keep only one of the generated images while discarding the remainder, store the NFT on IPFS and link to it from whatever social media platform allows NFTs as avatars or profile images.

To my understanding, brute force hacking can only happen when a blockchain isn’t properly implemented (I think the Axie Infinity Hack may have partially been this). However, even outside of blockchains, stealing permissions via things like password theft are far, far more common, and unlike centralized systems, blockchains are ultra vulnerable to it. If some random person on the other side of your country tries to take 90% of your money out of your bank account, your bank’s probably gonna freeze the account and call you. If someone steals your crypto assests in the same way, you’re SOL unless the chain forks, which isn’t likely unless it’s a big hack or some very rich folks get their stuff stolen.

They’re not hacking blockchain, they’re hacking the people who own wallets. However, in this situation, it’s partially due to the company getting their social media hacked. So again, not blockchain. The bank equivalent is Identity Theft & that happens all the time at an astonishing rate.

@@mayaw.4013 I wanna add to that last bit, I'm sure banks are getting hacked or at least attempted all the time, it more likely they don't release that information and have contingency plans for the lost money if it were to be successful. If they don't got to talk about a security breach, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to not have to. Gotta keep the out look of a business positive. When they do tell us, it probably too serious to hide, or cause passwords are compromised.

@@austinnonr7908 Banks do not need to be hacked. The problem is that the user gets cheated or clicks on some pfishy link and sometimes just sends their money to the guy attempting to steal from him on their own, and even confirms everything, and after the fact decides "wait... that might have been a scam". It's the reason banks often post messages like "look out of wierd messages, don't click links etc" on their main pages.

I feel like alot of it has to do with money being alot more traceable than cryptos and nfts. The lack of regulation and laws surrounding cryptos and nfts also make it a hot target for hackers.

Some people got to learn the hard way that not every technology is a winner. For every breakout hit like HDTV or even color TV there are tens or hundreds of 3DTV-esque failed experiments that just don't prove to be workable, don't catch on with the public, or otherwise just fail. Maybe it's because we're so far out from the last major format war between Blu-ray and HD-DVD, but people need to be reminded that not every move tech companies make is in the right direction.

I'm with you.. I was wondering why Yong Yea pronounces it so weirdly and I googled this. "Yacht" is derived from the Dutch word "jacht," which would probably be pronounced with the typically guttural "ch" before the "t"; the "j" would be pronounced as English letter "y." Since English does not utilize the guttural "ch," it treats the "ch" differently than other Germanic languages - in some instances it is pronounced as "k" (school; schooner) or would be ignored in cases where the pronunciation was awkward ("yacht"). So, maybe Yong Yea is going back to his Dutch roots.. ?!?!
