    if you are interested, uncle, i have some excellent pet rocks i can sell you at a very reasonable price

    even better these pet rocks are metamorphised into a genuine virtual digital token and each one is unique

    don't thank me, just send me money and i will digitally register your new assets 

    Pet rocks come to mind -  at least you could hold a pet rock.

    NFT’s are very much here to stay. Theyre already huge and some are selling for close to a million bucks. 

    Why? yes you can buy and swap as previously mentioned. But also,  In an online world you can use an NFT as part of your digital identity i.e  put up on your social media pages as part of how you or your business defines itself  online. wearing a rolex may have impressed certain people in the past… ie people you actually met. But that's the old school version which was also stupid in its own way. If it was all just about telling the time you could just wear a swatch.

    A well known and /or exxy NFT on your social media pages or on the pages of your business might impress anyone who visits your sites. This  could be, depending on what you’re doing or want to do, many thousands of people per day. Try to argue that has no value!  The owner of an nft can be verified online in seconds so you can’t really duplicate it.

    Like it or not, as long as we’re in an online world NFT’s are here to stay and only going to get bigger.

    I don’t quite understand the value of NFTs but can’t deny the money flying about. Probably best to hedge bets and explore it.

    It's like any gold rush where there's a fortune for the ones who are there on the ground at the start. For the second comers, there might be fortunes to be made or you might get fleeced.

    A nephew the other day said he’d help me set my art up for the NFT market. Might as well have told me he was going to build a bridge out of mashed bananas. But thanks to this thread, I now understand! 👏🏻

    Methinks this stuff is very similar to collecting tulips in Amsterdam 300 years ago,  bitcoin speculation, and barbie dolls.

    only worth what someone else will pay for them. And in the end if there is nothing behind it.  There is nothing.

    a lump of gold  can hurt if you drop it on your foot and there is enough of it.

    A day of reckoning will come for cryptocurrencies and NFT's when someone decides to make them accountable for the carbon footprint.  For Bitcoin:

    And bitcoin is but one player in this digital space.

    Until fossil fuel use for electricity is minimised cryptos, NFT's etc will churn through unfathomable amounts of electricity with the accompanying environmental problems.

    Good point LH.

    A lot of the electricity for bitcoin mining is stolen or the servers are located in countries where electricity is cheap.

    Its amazing how they can piggy back private computers to access the electricity. 

    Even where electricity is cheap it is still a massive carbon footprint.  Policy makers, activists etc are so busy focusing on fossil fuels, global warming in general terms they aren't placing accountability where it lies. 

    Bitcoin et al should have as much heat on them as AGL.

    The bitcoin world is perfectly aware of how much planet destroying they are doing. And for each "coin" that is "mined", the amount of electricity goes up. It's built in, intentionally. The analogy is that to mine more and more gold, you have to dig deeper and deeper into the ground. It's an artifice.

    Meanwhile the competitor "coins" are bragging that they don't use as much power.

    But ultimately, the people making money out of bitcoin can't bring themselves to address the problem, because they're making money. So how much of a problem can it be?

    That is why policy makers need to make them accountable. 

    At least put the spotlight/blowtorch on them.

    I'm with you there @Wells 11; got a brother who is into collecting (relatively) expensive watches. Can't see the point of it myself, it's not like they go any faster!

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
