NFT (or non-fungible token) is a digital asset that uses blockchain technology, creating a unique chain of code representing physical or digital products and services. They can be used for anything from artwork, design products, music, or even simply an animated photo, a social media status. You can learn more in this article.
In recent times, NFT has become a new trend, attracting the attention of many investors around the world. Not only collecting meaning, NFT is also digital proof of exclusive ownership of unique works of art that many people are willing to spend huge sums of money to own.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that NFTs are now becoming the mainstay of the crypto world, creating opportunities for “reinvestment”, as they often say, for those with large amounts of money. After all, this is not a matter of passion or love for art, but of claiming ownership of works using blockchain.
NFT is becoming a new trend in recent times.
That’s probably why many NFT collectors are so frustrated with the “theft” of vandalism on the Internet with just one simple action: Right-click on a digital asset that you can’t find. they just bought and choose “save as” (save image as…). Screenshots are also a way to easily “pick up” other people’s NFTs. After all, the process of copying an NFT work is just as simple.
Recently, Twitter user SaeedDiCaprio was harshly scolded by such an investor:Is it cool to take screenshots of other people’s NFT works? Theft is just a joke to you, isn’t it? Just tell me, blockchain doesn’t lie. I am the owner of that picture. Even if you save it, it’s still my property. You’re just annoyed that you can’t have the work that I own. Delete that screenshot now“.
SaeedDiCaprio posted this chat on Twitter with a mocking attitude because of the opponent’s scolding.
However, it seems that SaeedDiCaprio is quite indifferent, even disdain for such scoldings. On his personal Twitter, this user shared: “I can make a whole NFT collection from screenshots by right clicking like that, then sell them all“.
This incident is also an example of how strange, and silly, the NFT trend really is. A work of NFT art is very easy to copy and then spread elsewhere. Blockchain may not always back up claims of legal title, depending on the platform selling the NFT.
Going back to the story above, the work in this case called “Lazy Lions #348”, in the collection of OpenSea, has been sold for up to 5000 USD at the time of writing. SaeedDiCaprio’s actions are often referred to in the world as the “right-clicker mentality”. This is a term coined by Midwit Milhouse, creator and collector of NFTs. At the time, Milhouse was extremely upset when someone was trying to cheaply fake a gold-plated steak at Salt Bae’s restaurant on the Internet.
The problem, Milhouse said, is not the price of the beef, but the authentic feeling of eating at the Salt Bae’s restaurant.
Milhouse said the steak was “homegrown” and was made famous by internet phenomenon Salt Bae, who is selling it for $2,000 at his restaurant in London. Milhouse shared: “Of course, you can absolutely make your own gold-plated beef for £65 (about $87). But then, you will not feel satisfied, not feel good, feel as good as when eating at Salt Bae’s restaurant. The real value is not in the piece of meat, but in the luxury“.
The right-clicker mentality is actually a term that gets to the heart of the problem of the ownership myth. In fact, it is used to mock the whole concept of ownership and NFT related things.
To NFT collectors, the right-clicker mentality is an obnoxious thief, but to outsiders it is a term that strikes directly at misconceptions about ownership.
Although controversial, but these codes are still sold at “heavenly” prices, leading to a lot of tricks and evils. For example, recently, the developer of the “Evolved Apes” collection successfully extracted 798 ether (approximately $2.7 million) from the project fund.
And basically, NFT collectors can’t do in such cases. Similar to digital currency, NFT transactions are happening in a certain space, a wild space where the only rule you need to keep in mind is: “Buyers must be extremely careful”.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that NFTs are the current form of ostentatious wealth: By owning a simple JPG file, collectors hope to be able to both invest their money and show it off at the same time. get hold of their own property.
However, these do not affect those who do not participate, do not operate in that “wild space”. As for the ridicule, the mockery will certainly continue if NFTs are still traded every day. After all, the spirit must also be a little steel to engage in this field. That is why it is so attractive that many people are still determined to say no to NFT.
