They're all full of sellouts. How can they all do this? Don't they know NFTs destroy the environment? Animation studios need to be more educated about it.

They don't even have a plot written yet? By the time it comes out even less people are going to care about NFTs than now

Well, considering we already got the green cryptos while ETH just recently went to PoS service (and that's like about ~90% of crypto market) to drastically reduce the environmental damage, the ecological aspect of crypto isn't really a big thing anymore.

Doesn't make it less of just an actual scam though, considering the legal aspect of NFT certificate still makes them nothing less than glorified digital toilet paper.

It's harder to fall down even further beyond when the market is already gone nose dive, and nobody outside of the crypto bubble that is already into that even falling to these schemes anymore.

ETH only went over 20% of the overall crypto market only this summer, so unless those green cryptos are worth hellalot/there's a big truckload of them, no, I don't think it's about ~90% or anywhere near... (for comparison, despite dipping over the last year, bitcoin's market share is as of this month still ~39%)

Sounded good until I saw NFTs, NFTs are poison to entertainment. The blockchain could also be put to better use like having an uncensored loli manga site (The official variety) that's unreachable by censors, mad governments, and the UN.

It's that much actually if you count not only ETH, but a whole coin market, where most of altcoins are actually ETH forks spawning from it, or solely rely on ETH position.

Except since most of the cryptocurrency operations rely on a very small number of validators since BTC and ETH went POS all these operations are really easy to track, control and govern. It's not Silk Road days anymore, crypto operations guarantee literally nothing in terms of privacy.

I don't quite understand? The market value as I already stated is nowhere near the ~90% mentioned. So I can only deduct you meant coin count? Except that would be one wholly meaningless point to bring up. For example, you can have a thousand non-gold pennies and one Canadian Maple Leaf, and sure, the coins made of non-gold do dwarf the one of gold, it doesn't change the fact it's a pointless thing to compare...

Last I checked(few seconds ago), bitcoin(BTC) was still proof-of-work(PoW) and not PoS...
