    That won't be what happens though. It's more likely you'll just see collusion within the community to ensure the power brokers are able to pass ownership around to ensure their buddies all get the physical item. Especially if there's no cap on the number of physical items available.

    If someone doesn't simply steal all of the tokens and refuse to release any of them. Since there's no regulatory force to resolve such a situation save for "well fuck I guess nobody gets anything."

    There is no such thing as a "green blockchain." It's just a slower burning fire.

    Ugh, More NFT bullshit. Hasbro how tone-deaf do you have to be to not only re-do your Toy packaging to be more enviornmentally friendly and then pull this kind of thing? It makes them look like a bunch of hypocrites. 

    These things are proven to be big glamourous Ponzi schemes in disguise, and honestly I\'m tired of them.

    Also, "Proof of Stake" is itself bullshit.

    There's a wonderful full-length breakdown and analysis of Crypto/NFTs on YouTube. If you're curious about what "proof of stake" actually means, skip right to chapter 3. (24:35)



    What I see is Funko via this bullshit raffle trying to sell enough NFTs so they can own a controlling share (or as close to one as they can get) in an early coin (in this case "Dabb" or "Dobb" or whatever the fuck it is this time) and then pump/dump as needed.

    Yup. I'm pretty disappointed, as I recall a number of prominent Power Rangers fan sites telling Hasbro to get fucked when they tried to launch that NFT Megazord promo during PulseCon last year.

    How appropriate then they'd be tied to Funkos, which I've seen described as Precious Moments for dudes.

    At least there's physical product in MLM scams. This is just shitty, worthless images on the internet.

    The original MLM was a chain letter where you'd mail the sender X dollars and then forwarded it to Y people in the hope/assumption that many X dollars came back to you.
