    players are able to claim an “officially licensed, commemorative Paris 2024 NFT Digital Pin.”

    Oh sweet an official Olympics digital pin that I can pay real money for and no one else can just view for free whenever they want! Oh wait… Here’s one someone paid $200 for.

          I remember when NFTs first appeared. I misunderstood their purpose thinking they were a clever way to transfer intellectual property rights for something. Only to later learn that it’s basically poop, completely worthless.

            I think it’s a cool idea with awful implementations. Rather than turning the idea into a solution for something existing, everyone and their mother decided to create a fake problem instead.

            NFTs are a clever way to transfer intellectual property rights for something.

            It’s just that the something is worthless… And IP is imaginary.

      I like how it’s a digital picture of a physical pin, so it still has the bits in the back as if anyone can just put it on their lapel or backpack.

        Yeah I can’t help think the design and calling it a pin is all just a trick to scan people who don’t know what an NFT is.

        Best I can do is $200 for a link to the gif.
