Guess, it's where the money is for Shopify.

Personally, I still associate it with scams or new style money laundering

Anyone who are familiar with this and can explain it?

Honestly isn't this all like a big scam aren't you just buying air/electrons in the end.

I can "mint" an NFT which basically is like a checksum of a image for instance that is encoded(minted) in the etherium blockchain - then this can be sold/transferred to different wallets?

Have i got this right?

Why are people paying so much for this nonsense?

Take a look at the essay that Tante posted a link to here: https://twitter.com/tante/status/1471638343150714890
I don’t understand anything they show on this page. Bad communication.
I'm selling the Eiffel Tower. Serious offers only.
Shopify has terrible bot protection. Like so bad that it actually favors bots. This means that nfts will all be mined by bots
seeing tobi.eth is depressing.
Gross.
