A few seconds later, he flipped over and revealed the real title of the presentation, “Why NFTs are Nightmares,” in a room full of applause.
The story is absolutely in line with the idea Implementing NFTs and “playing and earning” in video gamesAttacks environmental costs, predatory practices, and the fact that the game turns into salt mining and sweatshops, not just creative pieces that people can enjoy.
