Now means Shame clash with Tyler. Shame only doing 45 mins. I'm sure that's been reduced. What's the point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite UK arena prices but still not great. Won't be drinking much at all beyond the tequila I smuggle in. I'm assuming it's for 330ml , although would be good if 500ml.

I have no idea how they thought they were going to spin "no books because we're green" and then have one of their partners mint something like 200k NFTs. They look ridiculous.

Something tells me the Binance stage will not be the Binance stage next year when absolutely nobody pays for their fucking beers with crypto.

Here's the thing, "renewable" energy still costs money and resources, it just doesn't rely on a very finite fuel we know is going to run out in a few decades. Solar panels, wind turbines etc. use a whole bunch of raw materials to make even though they then become sustainable, much in the way that we know there simply isn't enough lithium on the planet to make every car electric. NFTs are a solution without a problem. They don't do anything that couldn't already be done and I'm sure festival goes would have preferred a nice book - paper being an incredibly sustainable industry - to a receipt of a .PNG of a flower that 99% of them will never engage with. Even crypto is only good for buying drugs online and a fake stock market to bankrupt suckers, absolutely nobody needs to pay for beer with crypto. tl;dr the idea that we should waste energy on crap like NFTs just because it can be sustainable is ridiculous 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there are real life uses and the fact that it's recorded in a blockchain ledger allows these transactions to be audited by everyone (not just banks and authorities) very easy and hard if not impossible to corrupt. Like everything it can have it's silly uses but that the same with most products or applications. For every google maps there will be a snapchat cat face filter. One is useful. You know what i mean. I wouldn't just dismiss a technology that i haven't read into. You'll find that you probably actually use blockchain technology by proxy everyday just without your knowledge.

Posting a comment or pic on Instagram (or this thread) also has an energy cost. And obviously, printing a whole book just so you can have a nice souvenir requires energy at orders of magnitude higher than minting a freaking image for an NFT. But hey, most of us around here are travelling from around the globe spending insane amounts of energy just to have some fun over the weekend. So please enough with the hypocrisy.

Any and all current worthwhile uses - which are few and far between, it's mostly buying drugs and bankrupting idiots - are vastly outweighed by completely worthless ones. Most of the time when people try and convince me blockchain tech is the future it's because there "might" be some better uses for it but I've yet to be told or shown any we can't already do.

Still totally missing the point. I have no alternative method to get from the UK to Spain without a plane or incredibly long car/ferry journey and it's been like that for a very long time. I can't grow wings. We can't have this live communication right now without some sort of public forum/social media. The Primavera NFTs do not solve a problem. It's just a fad forced on people that quite clearly overwhelmingly, if you check the feedback, do not want it. People will forget about their receipt for a .PNG of a flower very quickly. Anyway, I'm out for the night, if people really want to die on hills for this stuff then that's their prerogative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know dude by your logic we should be cancelling Fiat (Cash) and the stock exchange as well if we want to mitigate drug purchasing and people becoming bankrupt from a bad investment which is way more used than people who understand how to use crypto. You're reminiscent of those people who said social media wasn't a worthwhile venture. Yet here we are, better or worse here we are. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
