It's even worse than the video depicts. The images aren't even the NFTs. They're just tacked on. An arbitrary representation. The actual NFT is just... a number. A series of digits. That's it. Even the blockchain doesn't say they own any image. When you buy an NFT you're literally buying nothing. Not even pretend-rights to a shitty image like most people seem to think.

@@billvigus3719 Yes they can, all you need is several companies selling stars. Of course, none of them have ownership of the stars to begin with, so all the sales are rubbish. But they are equally rubbish: if your claim was valid, so would the claims of everybody else be. To be fair: the difference is that it's possible to legitimately own a NFT, but it's just the token. You don't necessarily own the object the token is pointing at. Kind of like the difference between owning a subway token and owning a subway train.

[@Sandman60077]

Nope, because stocks are of companies that actually produce goods and services that are valuable, and the value rises and falls based on how good those goods and services are.

This could have all been explained to someone in the 90's as "It's like digital Beanie Babies, but much more expensive and anyone can duplicate them." As dumb as this current trend is, most of it has it's roots in a LOT of 90's trends actually.

[@ShadyDoorags]

Well, see, there's a massive difference. The 90s didn't start collectable trends. Throughout history, humans have had plenty of collections that became valuable over time due to their exclusivity and partly because of nostalgia. The 90s just happened to be wrong about Beanie Babies specifically. The problem with NFTs is that the valuable part of a digital image, is the image, not the code, and the image can be copied an infinite amount of times. NFT pushers want people to believe the "ownership" is what makes them valuable. If they succeed, then yes, NFTs could become the next collectable, but it's extremely unlikely the masses are gonna fall for it, especially since there are a bunch of other problems wrong with NFT's in general.

Then you slowly unload as much of what you have over a few years at massively over-inflated prices. Don't get me wrong, I actually like NFTs and I think they have potential if they're used to prove ownership of tangible items or even as an MFA solution, but the way they're being used right now is almost certainly a scam.

@@kenanderson3954 the blockchain idea that is behind nft and crypto is interesting but both of those things are designed in a way that is much too open to abuse by rich people to be usefull in its current form.

Then all he have to do is sell it at inflated price while most people will end up stuck with it or loosing money. And the worst part is that the money they put in crypto isn't taxed yet!

Worse, apparently NFTs don't actually contain the file they "own". They're a link to an external source for that file. Hence, if the file hosting place collapses, you have a proof of ownership of a thing that doesn't exist anymore. I guess it's like having the title of ownership for a car that was abandoned in a field and has rusted away into nothingness. Except in this scenario, the car is sitting in a field, and you own it, but you're powerless to relocate it or protect it in any way.

I still have my pogs!

[@ressljs]

@@hendrikscheepers4144 I remember pogs, but I was too old to think anything other than, "What's wrong with kids these days?"

[@Grothgerek]

"Everyone is talking about WW3" Is probably the worst thing you want to hear as a ending/cliffhanger of a Time Traveler News Broadcast. Especially because in the 90 the cold war just ended, and there was a huge Atomic Propaganda (with funny cartoons, safety videos etc.).

[@davidwuhrer6704]

Wasn't the atomic cafe from the 1950s?

[@tiredandwired6871]

Watched this video the other day, came back to say this actually helped me understand NFTs so much better. Been a real asset, thanks.

[@trustknowwaunful]

The show's back!!! Whoo

[@matthewlee4834]

I can't overstate how happy I am you're continuing the Time Traveler series

[@darrenmacqueen9884]

Always been my favorite series!

[@OllarProductions]

Bout time you brought this series back

[@theqbash]

heh, about "time" it was brought back.

[@williamsenneway2131]

01:18 Reporter Guy slipped into Screenwriter Guy for a second there - "Sir, ..."

[@8MercurySunrise8]

I love every second of this, amazing work

A custom Pog has WAY more intrinsic value than an NFT.

[@jdotoz]

Yeah, you can pog with it and it's great for covering your bottle of passion, orange, and guava juice.

[@localobug3034]

Ryan just keeps getting funnier while keeping his characters similar also HOW DOES HE DIE IN 2004?!

[@cybernexus4233]

Fatally

He told you, fatally.

Idk, but it's fatal.

This was awesome. Thank you.

An NFT is a real-life mcguffin. It has no purpose but everyone wants it, which is what drives the plot/economy along.

[@MichaelPohoreski]

A position in a queue that you hope you aren’t the last person to buy it. /s

[@Check_001]

Never heard such a true words about nft literally being one big mcguffin

[@justins8802]

Check out the piece that Folding Ideas did recently on NFTs. His thesis was basically that NFTs exist purely to create something to spend cryptocurrency on and thus pull more cash into crypto to keep the market pumped.

[@HeyTash]

💯

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

You're right about everything except the real-life part. It is the literal opposite of a real-life mcguffin, it is an internet mcguffin.

[@catincarrot6546]

I'm glad you made another episode, i personally enjoy this series alot.

This is literally the most educated I’ve been to date on nft’s thank you

[@Gauge213666]

Good to have the time traveling reporter back. Thank you for jabbing NFTs.

[@grimwolf9988]

Perfect 90s description; they're digital Beanie Babies. No one actually _wants_ to have one, but they leverage artificial scarcity to try adding value to something that doesn't actually have _any_ so that hopefully someone else will be willing to buy it off them later for more than they paid. Also, spoilers for 90s guy, Beanie Babies were a colossal failure.

[@phillipfry8141]

its crazy how quickly NFTs became irrelevant, this was only 1 year ago.

[@yobafromstarwars1375]

YES! The 90's show is finally back!

[@medexamtoolsdotcom]

He also really hit the nail on the head with the target year. If there was a best year ever, it would have to be 1993.... but if there was a year I would go back to to set things on track because that was when everything started to go wrong, it would be 1996.

[@cymes82]

Ryan: _Makes a video on stupidity of NFTs_ Algorithm : This video seems like an excellent place to put an ad about NFTs

[@happypepper9326]

Thank you for your work.

[@gokulcj]

Ryan’s ads are more interesting than many full length videos and movies xD Such a funging series.

[@soybeanz3]

"You die in 2004" "How does that happen?" "Oh, fatally" 2:58 made me spit out my drink

[@Agooo13431]

NFTs stand for "Nerd Fool Transactions", because a bunch of nerds sell them to a bunch of fools and make a killing

[@slundal]

Can we appreciate that his ads are funnier and more entertaining than most of the content on you tube. :D

[@sc76399]

So excited to see this back

[@DezMarivette]

Ryan you are a genius. You’re practiced and spot on. Every joke lands. This is why we (the audience) love you. You show up with all the time and effort you’ve put into everything and it SHOWS!

"it's based on perceived value" "Oh so like beanie babies. you're talking about beanie babies" "Yeah they're like beanie babies that don't exist and also sell for $1 million the first time" "oh holy sh-"

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

"Also, you can get the Beanie Babies for free, just by tapping on it. From your phone. But then you won't legally own it." "So NFTs are about legal ownership? I can sort of -" "No. Most of them feature stolen artwork and photographs." "What?" "Yeah. But you can prove that you legally purchased a unique stolen copy of a picture." "Why would anyone care?" "I don't know." "Well, I can't imagine this obvious scam is actually going to make any money." "Actually, it'll be super easy, barely an inconvenience." "Oh, really?!" "Yes. You see, it turns out everyone involved is very stupid. There are just a lot of stupid people." "...how did all these stupid people get all this money? No, wait...nevermind. I've got a better idea. Screw this job. I quit. I'm going to make terrible things I don't legally own and sell them to stupid people." "...the blockchain technology doesn't even exist yet." "Who said anything about NFTS? I'm going to be a Hollywood movie producer!"

The man we needed when we needed him most.

[@ClemsonTiger1908]

Ryan's are the only ads I'll watch because they're just as funny as the sketch. Why is the ADS-tronaut wearing his spacesuit at the doctor's office?? 😂

[@Jonah.i_dont_know]

NFTs are by far the best example of “the future is dumb”

[@Supremax67]

Almost a correct answer. The future is dumb because people talk about something they know nothing about. NFT was never about JPG, but the uneducated ones wants to see what they want to see.

[@Wingdings_man]

CORRECT

[@dwight3555]

Pyramid schemes have always existed though, this is just another one of them that will completely fall apart sooner or later.

[@santishorts]

@@dwight3555 Plenty of negative things can be said about NFTs, but them being a pyramid scheme is just plain absurd. NFTs weren't invented by a company which is single handedly profiting from this boom, it's all built on top of open source technology which is free for anyone to use. Anyone can make NFTs, just like anyone can make modern art and try to sell it. NFTs are not any more a pyramid scheme than modern art collecting is. It's just good old capitalism.

[@Torlik11]
