Anyway, I'm glad to see trading cards becoming available for regular purchase. No reason to waste them in that sewer of crypto pump-n'-dump manipulations.
I'm not sure I agree with your 'pump-n-dump' statement as many people believe in crypto for the long term. None have been able to make me understand why but I think it's along the same lines that Tesla is not a car company .. "it's really an autonomous driving company" .. or more recently Tesla is 'Robot' or an 'AI' company. Whatever floats your boat I guess but NFT's are not for me.
In any case, I don't see how buying with real money verse crypto changes anything?
Dolz are NFTs and owning NFTs require a crypto wallet to store access keys. Without a wallet you cannot own a NFT.
It's that simple as far as I understand it but I'm sure someone will clarify if any of these statement or incorrect
So when you pay cash for a NFT show, I imagine, Totem is converting your cash to crypto, then trading that crypto for the NFT, and finally presumably storing that crypto in a wallet. I don't know if Totem is creating the wallet for you, loaning you a wallet they own, or creating some kind of proxy for a piece of another wallet.
Either way I won't be participating. It's not that I'm incapable of making a wallet; I just don't want one. But if I did have a crypto wallet then I would certainly want full control of my wallet. I do have Bitcoin in a brokerage custodial account so I'm trusting my brokerage to handle my Bitcoin for me. I don't think they would be willing to handle my porn and I wouldn't want them to.
Who know maybe I got this all wrong and if so maybe I'll take a look once the details are clear but I honestly don't see myself paying more for a show than I would for a cup of coffee in any case.
