NFT's are pretty much just a blockchain-backed unique receipt for a digital item. The actual artwork is entirely independent of them, and an NFT-"protected" image can just be copy-pasted and distributed like any other piece of digital art.

ok, I had the impression that it was the data in the crypto itself that was generating the image...

cuz otherwise WHAT'S THE POINT

Pretty much. The entire value of NFT's is as collector's items. Think of it like a certificate of authenticity that comes with a limited-run figurine or something and indicates that you own #4863 of 10,000, only for a digital asset. The concept kind of falls apart in that the digital asset can be replicated infinitely if anyone so chooses, but the NFT is still a unique certificate that proves you own an "authentic" copy.

So uh... found a twitter thread showing where some of the images might have come from.

Looks like he might be facing more lawsuits.

The sad thing is... if he had sold literal, physical trading cards instead... it would probably be a hit

That's also not really reliant on NFT's. Steam's marketplace already does that for some games, while others have their own in-game options.
Yeah right, so I would literally just use a traditional database.

The benefit of a blockchain is that they don't rely on me to host anything. But then I can't prevent all the rampant corruption that comes with a blockchain.

I have experimented with ipfs, but the killer decentralized database app is still something I'm looking for.

I mean, they sold out overnight, which I fully expected them to. Trump's fanbase will lap up pretty much anything he tries to sell them, no matter how stupid it is.

Calling it now: They're going to fall back on "we didn't sell the art, we just sold NFT's that reference it" to get out of accusations of stealing material for commercial gain.

TBF: My inner capitalist likes the idea of any person making bank selling a product... ... .... ... but he pirated the art! (well, probably not Trump personally, but whoever the artist was)

True

If the cards were physical though, I myself might even be tempted (ironically)

I don't know enough about how effective that would be, but they did take art and use it to advertise for commercial purposes without permission even if it flys that they weren't selling the images.

Did anybody actually expect all of this art to not be stolen?

It is pretty on brand when you think about it.

I thought I posted this here but apparently I posted it in a different NFT thread:

https://youtu.be/C6aeL83z_9Y

I always assumed NFT's were scams and never looked much further into them, but they are WAY worse than what I thought.

I'm pretty sure Legal Eagle also said Trump was going to jail for January 6th. Why take him serious?

It's obvious you're jealous he got two and you weren't able to get even a single one.
