I’ve read that blockchain itself is a good technology. NFTs are a laughably absurd attempt to exploit that technology for profit.
Xitter op needs to shut up.
What problem does blockchain solve?
I've heard of using them as parts of like contracts?
Yea the idea there is that with it being decentralized, it has an unedited history. So if each block added to the chain is a new transaction, you can see previous agreements. Being decentralized also means that it's public record and everyone can see the contract/agreement/transaction.
There's a lot of neat stuff that can be done, but as the other guy stated, it's a solution looking for a problem.
