  • Yeah the obsession of like “make it a home” is weird to me in a world of rising living costs and very few being able to afford a house. My apartment complex just raised my rent $200 this year and that’s low compared to the market. Why the fuck would I put posters or photos up I’m going to have to take down when I can’t afford the next rent increase next year?

    But also implemented incredibly stupidly. You are purchasing a url in a blockchain that points to a server or domain a singular person or org owns in most cases. That gets rid of any point of the blockchain. With enough money I just buy that server, the image url you purchased is now under my control and now it’s porn or something unless you pay me to restore it. There were very few NFTs where the actual thing you’re buying is on a distributed blockchain rather than a pointer to a centralized and privately owned server. In programming terms it’s what rust does to prevent bad pointers with https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch04-02-references-and-borrowing.html
