 All right, I apologize again. I think it's like the sixth server change. I Don't know it's it was working fine. You know everything is green for a little bit and then suddenly it just comes crashing down And now I'm looking at my OBS and it's showing red hopefully All right, it's restarted on Facebook, let me get it up again on YouTube Okay, hold on server hold on don't don't crash on me Yeah, something always So annoying. Oh All right, all right Sorry for the Inconvenience guys really super annoying. I'm actually routing this for a Europe server. I've tried the agent servers like Routing it through Korea through Singapore, which usually does the trick Japan But it keeps the connection keeps dying on me. So I'm actually routing this through a Italian European server. It's I think it's a service we use restream.io Um, it does seem to be buffering a little bit now Andrew for Facebook. Thank you for offering the cleaning and cable management service was waiting for this for more than a year now Yes, come on. Bye. Um, you know, it's a 1500 for the Cleaning and recable so cable management as well as we repaste your CPU. We don't replace the GPU yet But that is a service that we want to um try to experiment with in the future All right, so I'm gonna I'm gonna try to get through this stream before uh Before it crashes again, it seems to be holding steady right now at the moment Hope it doesn't crash Again, all right, so if you're joining for if you've just logged in There is a discord server link at the bottom if you want to join our discord server And basically if the the point of the discord server is that we'll try to if you want to chat live Via the stream assuming that the stream Manages to remain stable by some darn miracle Assuming that the stream remains stable We will um, and you know There there are willing people we will chat with them live So it's like a live in you can call in live to the show via the discord server and then yeah, we'll we'll talk live over the stream Andrew I I'm glad you think so we were a bit We didn't know how to price it at first because you know Paragone 5 is a lot of money, but at the same time it is a lot of work to do the cable management and if Not to blow our own horn, but if you've you've seen our other builds, you know that we take the cable management very very seriously And the number one proof of that is that I'm not the one who does it because my cable management skills are not that great But the guys at the shop have phenomenal cable management skills And then along with that we do repaste your cpu with the nth one knock to a thermal paste And you clean out all of the cobwebs and all of the dust and things like that. So stop JPG who just landed in the discord server and yeah, so We didn't know how to price it because it can be a lot of work. We don't even price it. We don't change the pricing depending on like If you know, it's a bigger case or it's a smaller case. We tried to keep things simple by Yeah, just having a one-time fee. So, um, yeah, come on by if anybody needs cleaning and cable management All right, so we're gonna get to the news first and First news is that russia is considering banning bitcoin. So akin to what china did I probably, you know, not too concerned about that China Russia is a relatively smaller market compared to china was for cryptocurrency And you know, overall, yes, there was a big slump when china did their crypto ban But it has recovered quite well, which is covered in some parts of our news later on which we'll talk about in a little bit but You know and russia so russia is a much smaller market. So the ripple effect if they do decide to Ban crypto would not be as bad. Uh, you know, I I think effect, you know the effect on prices Won't be as bad and the reasons why they want to ban it are probably the same reasons why china wants to ban it They want to control the money flowing out and they want to keep tabs on who's sending money out China russia both authoritarian regimes. So it's in their best interest to Maintain a level of control over their over the money like If prominent citizens are able to send money abroad then prominent citizens can leave again Thwarting any government control or control over money is a Important part of government controls and you know, it's pretty clear why authoritarian regimes would want to crack down on bitcoin So russia started making some moves, but not really necessarily They haven't really done anything about it yet And number two news is that the bitcoin hashrate has actually recovered from the time that China banned bitcoin So and and cryptocurrencies in general So yeah, there was a big crash both in price and both in terms of the number of people mining the hashrate is basically the number of uh computers or it's a measurement of how much activity is is Processing on the network. So the higher the hashrate means that there are more and more people devoting Computing resources whether they be acic miners or gpu miners to the computations of the network and so the hashrate dropped like a rock When crypto was banned in china, but it's actually already surpassed that level. So it it it climbed back up again it it met parity it tied with the hashrate at the time and then it's already It has already surpassed the rate at the time So again another sign that crypto has recovered. What hasn't recovered though are prices Prices are still quite low and as I was talking about it last time And kaiser mentioned it before the previous stream crash that you know, we always the the joke is always buy at the dip it's not a joke, but it's it's a common advice given to crypto investors buy at the dip or or in general but I I always maintain that I never know when to buy properly I always think that oh, you know, I have this fear of missing out and like this price Is probably the best price already and then it'll just keep dropping like a rock I'll discuss sure. What's a good starter mining rig? Um I we do have a video coming out about this like explaining how to build a mining rig But like if you just want to dip your toes into it actually your rig would be a very good starter rig Because it has a very good gpu and it has very good cooling So if you just want to experiment with crypto like starting to mine That would be a good That kind of rig would be a good rig to start with a very fast gpu and One with sufficient cooling So a 3090 It's an expensive card But you know, that would be a good way to start crypto because one it's uh, it will always be a non lhr card 3090 So the only card left from the nvidia 3000 line that are non lhr guaranteed always to be non lhr meaning non low hash rates So they haven't been nerfed for mining although Just because you have an lh card or a low hash rate card doesn't mean that you can Doesn't mean you can't mine anymore. There are ways around the lhr card and I am actually I do talk frequently with a minor A local minor who says that the lhr cards are not bad mining cards. Actually they can If you know the work around the performance is not bad anymore for mining so That is One thing to consider if you are thinking of dipping your basically a gaming rig a gaming rig will would be a good mining rig But not for bitcoin bitcoin is really The difficulty rate for bitcoin has just really gone way beyond what gpus What you can hope to recover? It takes a lot of money to run 24 7, you know, even just Dip your toes in minor or sort of like a starter minor So for gpu mining, I would really recommend mining ethereum or some other altcoin rather than bitcoin I I don't think the cost of performance ratio is there anymore for gpu miners for bitcoin It and any kind of bitcoin mining now, whether it's you just want to start out Or you want to get into it for real like serious serious investment Either way, I would recommend an acic miner the the difficulty rate is just too high Like I personally don't feel that gpu mining for bitcoin is worth it anymore at this point I sort of pointed out that yes the the AMD cards six six hundred xt five six hundred xt are good miners and When we say good for mining, we don't necessarily mean that they're the fastest But they give very good price to performance like how much you spend for the card How much is the opex or the operating cost of the card meaning the electricity needed to keep running the card versus what kind of How much you're earning from the crypto So yes the I actually again the miner that I talk to regularly so regular customer and he does quite like the the AMD cards The LHR hasn't exploit and get up to 75. I heard around 80 percent actually and it doesn't need to be complicated One of the things that the miner was telling me was that you can just play a game Like you enter a game and then you start your miner You start the mining process and I don't have to keep the game running on in the background Just like the the the startup screen or something or you can exit out So it's not necessarily a complicated thing getting around the the nerf of the LHR and maybe we'll do video about that Sometime like how to how to mine using LHR cards to be honest. I I haven't Mined in a long time. So I'm a bit out of the scene. I do try to follow it But I'm more into the trading now. I don't really mind as much anymore um Yes So if I'm going to get through the news and then I'm going to play the ad again just to say, you know Uh, the the the sponsor needs a shout out and then after that little try the before we get to the NFT explanations Let's try if anybody wants to Uh Wants to call in live I mean chat on the discord anyone want to Jump in All right, so again news number three underground mining actually so my china has Band mining and uh all crypto related whatever is in general, but there are others who are crazy and um Are are ballsy actually I have to admire their courage if the chinese Pyro in china and the chinese government told me to stop doing something I'd probably stop doing it because the chinese government Means business when it tells you to stop doing something but um, um, there are news reports filtering out of china that still have minds and um In fact, may it not hooling recently in a government official that he didn't pad the Band so he was still mining on the side or I think he was still operating Um, uh an exchange or bus he got busted and god knows where he is now in china Um, again the chinese government doesn't fool around when it tells you to stop doing something They're serious and they're gonna crack down so, um But but in spite of that inside of the band in spite of the big large-scale miners leaving china moving to texas Moving to kazakhstan or you know wherever Wherever the big scale miners have moved there are still people mining and I guess trading in china Based on the news reports that I've seen it was quite fascinating and again I regard this whether you're in an authoritarian regime or somewhere more flexible You know with a country with more freedoms like us. I mean the you know, philippines As a lawyer, I have to say that our bill of rights, um, you know it are our The freedoms we enjoy in the philippines are not You know as robust as in some other countries, but we're definitely still much more free than the state china. Um, but That regardless of where you are whether in china the philippines the us or some other more liberal countries um When a government tells you to do some When a government bans something there are all there will always be people that persist And I'm not giving a moral, you know, I'm not making a value judgment on whether you should persist or not We're not, you know in general like crypto mining or whatever but It is human nature that if someone tells you to do something there will always be some people who tell you not to do it but Pats off to the guys in china who are still mining. I mean, um, I grab it. Um It it is it is something that you that you know, there are still people willing to defy, um, the chinese government on that front and um, lastly on the whole news thing and the whole china thing um There was a ban or a chinese court has ruled that uh, a mining contract was void Not really anything surprising about that As the government has basically said that all cryptocurrencies all crypto transactions all crypto mining is illegal so it's not It the the courts the the the judicial system in china Which is not known for its independence, you know, it's just basically rubbers, you know, basically towing the party line and um enforcing the The chinese edict that all crypto related things are bad so um Yes, and china trying to build out its own central bank, uh, the u1 We have talked about it in other previous crypto watch episodes that yes, they are trying to um They are trying to Get one of the reasons why china is trying to get rid of all other crypto related transactions Is because they do have a digital contender and which is going quite well I mean the rate of adoption has gone up. So Ban all of the crypto But people are still interested in crypto. So they're going to flock to the officially the only Allowed crypto in china, which is the digital u1 or the digital rambini so again, one of the reasons why china wants to crack down and Yeah, so a chinese court in beijing has ruled that a mining contract is void So like you pay somebody to mine for you And then he renegs you won't be able to run after him in court So it's just another reason why you wouldn't want to pursue crypto related things in china right now um All right, I have Asked if anybody uh All right, so we do have somebody who wants to Uh Live stream. All right So i'm gonna try to tie up the discord and then um, hopefully we can hear him um In the chat on the streams. All right. So here we go. All right. Here we go So bear with me guys um Bear with me. I'm trying. I'm just trying to invite um Ah, okay. Wait. Hang on a sec. Hang on a sec Oh, I can't like How does this work? I thought I could just transfer the guy over obviously it's also my first time to um To do discord um and stuff so I mean I use discord very occasionally, but not uh, I thought it would be super easy just to pop over to the Like invite somebody from one channel to another channel But it's not working out like that. Wait long. Okay, so I gotta Okay. Okay. Here we go. All right All right. All right. All right. All right. Hang on. Hang on. Oh, but he went offline. Oh, come back. Come back then Use the link to the But can ethereum beat the 95 96 chicago bulls? Well, you know, the bulls have the goat. So, you know, I mean No contest man. Thank you the link to the voice channel. Come back All right, I don't know if I was too slow, but the first guy on the discord server who said he wanted to um Join the voice channel Left So Anybody else? Hang on. Anyone else want to join want to call in on the stream? All right. What headset am I using right now? It's a cooler master mh670, which I stole from the shop Um, no rgb. You can see the cm logo nicely etched here on the side. Um It's um, it's pretty decent like I I'm enjoying using it Oh, man the guy the guy I uh, the guy who said Oh, okay. Sorry Oh, sorry. So confused. Sorry. Super confused Okay, apparently maybe the guy didn't want to call in I was just too excited. Sorry guys All right. All right. So no no takers for the call in yet. Um, please do please do volunteer to call in because I want to try um I want to try uh, if if it would if it will work, but uh, no pressure Um, so we can get to the while we're waiting if anybody wants to call in I will try to Uh, get to the meat of this episode Which is what is an nft and you know, what's the whole thing about it? But I did promise to sponsors another another midstream Um ad so I'll see you guys after the break But where do you get windows? Daming options. Daming prices With the little order search for the software you need add to cart All right All right back from the ad break to answer the question on youtube Like if there are a lot of large-scale miners in the Philippines to be honest, I don't know I have tried to talk to miners in the past, but um I don't have any like personal statistics on how many big time miners there are and things like that. Um, but it is The ones that I've talked to or I have a primary contact was really into mining and he he knows other miners locally They were saying there they have some wild stories like One miner Parang his company was paying for him to stay at the hotel and then Libre in Corriente So he just kept buying GPU after GPU kept adding to his miner inside his hotel room because he Libre in Corriente So grab it. I mean like Your capex was buying the your capital expenditure was buying the GPUs But basically Because your electricity was being paid for by your employer who was like Yeah, you know, you need to you're an I think he was an expat. I'm not I'm not too clear But basically you need to be in the Philippines, but we don't have a permanent place for you yet to stay in the hotel This may don't to my god your arrangement now so Yeah, he was just mining using the electricity uh from the hotel You know his hotel room has been generating thousands and thousands of pesos worth of electricity bills and I don't know exactly how that worked out. But um, yeah, so that that's one story from the local scene that that I've heard um So to get to the meat of today's episode what is an nft so nft stands for non-fungible token and to sort of um this to sort of explain what an nft is we have to Uh, we'll go into what fungible means fungible is this let me um Man I was gonna have a prop. I forgot to forgot to Bring it out. So let me just Pause the stream real quick here. Oh, maybe not don't use that. Okay. I'm I have to get something super super quick I'll be right back. So I'm gonna hide the camera All right, but you can still hear audio. It's just that I don't want you guys to see where I keep my Money Okay, so this is an example of something that is fungible fungible Just basically means something that can be replaced by something of the same type for example like money This is a 1000 pesos bill if I lose it I can be replaced by another 1000 pesos bill Each one test 1000 pesos bill is unique as evidenced by the serial code here On the bill so each bill is unique But you really don't care what or which Which bill you get One 1000 bill is the exactly the same as another 1000 pesos bill And that's what you mean by fungible money cash is an example of a fungible item because it can be replaced by things of the same type so All 1000 bills are of the same type and it doesn't matter to me like may Rod If I trust him if I know the money is legit meaning that it is of the same type that it is A legitimate 1000 pesos bill. I really don't care because I have no personal attachment emotional attachment To this particular 1000 pesos bill. That's an example of a fungible item It can be replaced by things of the same type A ball pen a generic item basically, you know fungible A synonym for fungible is sort of generic. It can be replaced by things of It of the same type of the same class So any run of the mill ball pen a ball pen is fungible even with A ball pen of a particular design such as this one as long as it's mass produced It has the same design it doesn't matter to me or to the user You can easily replace it with a ball pen of the same type so that is fungible uh pokemon trainer sup mahi na po audio um, it's Try raising the gain on your end. I think um Because the levels are looking good. I I will check the audio levels on my end because I do have a tendency to speak loud so I have checked the audio it seems to be okay in a month on my end. I'll boost it a bit more Oh, there you go and try to raise the volume also on your end So that's that's what fungible means. It can be replaced by things of the same type Non fungible means that it cannot be replaced. Um, and an example of that is this My daughter made this artwork and as you can see she is definitely an artist and um, she's gonna grow up and I'm gonna make millions because Obviously her talent is off the chart But an example of an of a non fungible thing is an artwork. It cannot be replaced This is unique and if my daughter makes another artwork even in the same style, which I would describe as abstract impressionist with hints of Dalian influence Even if my daughter were to make another artwork and even if she were to copy the exact kind of strokes and what not that she Did here This is a non fungible thing because it can never be replaced even by the creator It is unique. Um, it's not like It's not like the 1000 pesos bill If something were to happen to this and somebody said, oh, come on, you don't have your 1000. This is another 1000 I'll be happy. I don't care what 1000 bill it is as long as it's a legit 1000 bill But if something were to happen to this artwork, um, it can never be replaced. It is non fungible Even if my daughter did the exact same strokes and things like that It would not be exactly the same as this so That is essentially what an nft is. It's a non fungible token Meaning it's something digital that is non fungible that can never be replaced um even Even if you were to take a screenshot of the exact same thing like nba top shot The nba has nfts now and Primarily they're like trading cards, but they're digital and I think they call them nba top shot So they get footage from nba games. So let's say it's like lebron dunking or things like that And that clip of lebron dunking Is easily reproducible. You can find it on youtube. You can find it You can take a screenshot. You can edit it. You can You know, it's still digital but the video of lebron dunking in the top shot format Is an nft you only you have access or however Number of cards digital cards they minted with their bron dunking only 10 or 100 Will have the same format will be recognized in the top shot blockchain so That's what a digital nft is. It's it's a non fungible token, but basically it's a it's uh It's a digital non generic thing. So it is still a digital asset. It can be a sword in a video game It can be Mostly it's artwork right now. So it can be a piece of music It can be the first tweet the first tweet was uh, it's made into an nft And it it was sold it can be source code Um, so it everything is still digital in an nft But it has features which makes it distinguishable which makes it unique which makes it non generic And because it is non generic that's where the value comes in. Yeah, yes I'll just I'll discuss her from facebook pre-empted meme another example I had of um, and thank you for reminding me another example or an easy way to distinguish between A fungible thing and a non fungible thing. Parang girlfriend versus wife You know girlfriend? Puedeng palitan yan. So they're fungible. You can replace them with another girl And I apologize to any women who find my uh example a bit sexist It works also with boyfriends or you know, if you're a girl and um palitan my boyfriend mo It's still fungible. You can get any other boy and he can I mean, you know And you know Assuming that he says yes There's a large pool of people that you can replace your current boyfriend with so in that sense Your partner if you're not married is fungible girlfriend boyfriend They can be replaced by members of the same type again to go back to the definition of fungible But a spouse is non fungible because you can't just replace And not you can't replace your wife with another woman um Just like that um So yes, of course the analogy breaks down that the the further you push it out But on the very surface level that's an easy way to think about the difference between fungible and non fungible um kung shota palang girlfriend boyfriend yun Madaling palitan yan um break and my girlfriend mo break and mo joa mo break and mo boyfriend mo palitan mo um In that sense your partner is still fungible But it's much harder to replace a spouse and that is why they are non fungible So actually good good example. I'll discuss. That's also what I um, that's That's an analogy. Uh, that's a good that's a good analogy to to distinguish Fungible from non fungible so Fungible versus non fungible and that's the basic that's a basic distinction Non fungible cannot be replaced. It it's unique. It is not generic And the nice thing about and so we'll get into why particularly like nft for blockchain and how it does Still we how it does stills with crypto and things like that um Then the next part of like explaining what at nft is is it the same as a cryptocurrency? It is not and a lot of people Uh, it is confusing for a lot of people because nft uses the same technology as a cryptocurrency. It uses the blockchain And a lot of nfts do use Basically the same technology as cryptocurrency Specifically ethereum. So the ethereum network has been used by, um, to has been used to issue nfts in the past Primarily the first actually very big nft big in the sense that people were spending actual money for it was crypto kitties This was before nfts nfts sort of became really big Starting maybe around march this year like they sort of hit mainstream appeal But crypto kitties has been around a long time and at least for me that was the first Example of um How to the first example of The first big nft where like people are actually spending big bucks to buy nfts so, um, we'll we'll we'll get to screen screen sts question in a little bit, but nft just to go back to the question is nft are nfts a cryptocurrency? No, they're not But they're very similar in the sense that they use the same technology namely blockchain and in fact, um Many major cryptocurrencies have been used as the basis for issuing nfts and ethereum comes to mind So screen st What about right spoil having the nft can you monetize its use for commercial transactions like if they are used for adverts? um, it depends on the issuer um, for example an nft like nba top shot you own it I mean just because you you have that card for Um, you have that card of LeBron dunking I would not imagine that the nba gave you license to use it for your own commercial use for example So it's not a license Nba top shot is not a license for you to get the clips that you have that you own Through nba top shot and then you put them in a montage and then you sell it online um That would not be um The the license the nft license for nba top shot would not let you do that but if you're a creator for example hardware sugar would come out with a clip of me and there's a clip of me and um Getting myself electrocuted when i'm doing doing a build so let's say i'm let's say Let's say i'm recording myself doing a build for a youtube video for hardware sugar I I accidentally shocked myself Um, and it goes viral because my face, you know, um, there's something about it That's just so pleasing to see to see Anton get shocked. It goes viral Since i'm the creator the creator of that clip. I can make it into an nft and yes in that sense I can monetize my content so To answer your question um You can monetize it for commercial use definitely It all depends on how the creator Licenses it out. Do you do you seed all of your rights? Basically once you mint the nft? Are you saying that? The owner can use it for any sorts of uses so that's really up to you and it's it's a wild wild wild west of Right now It's still very up in the air like what's the best format for nfts and things like that Although where the money is right now is sort of like digital artworks Which we'll talk about in a little bit when we get back to How to buy nfts and where to buy nfts? But the short answer to your question Screen st is that if you're the creator, it's really up to you. Um, you're the creator So it's up to you like what kind of rights you want to assign to that particular nft. Yes, I'll create the nft but um can the owner Use it for commercial use or is it only for is it only for Fair use or is it like um like for instance if you look at the youtube License on all of our hardware sugar videos. I'm a very big advocate of fair use So actually we use the creative commons license. It's basically which basically says that Hardware sugar videos no problem. You can use that as long as it's non-commercial You can you can mash it up. You can mix it up and things like that as long as you attribute with us That's fine. So again, it's up to you how you want to How you want to monetize your nft Although the basic minimum would have there there is some sort of transfer of ownership So you at the bare minimum you want to have to feed um You would have to recognize that whoever buys nft is the owner of that But what does that mean? He has the ownership meaning that I can no longer issue the same clip. That's one So he has exclusive rights to that But are there residual rights that remain with me the creator again? That's up to you how you want to How you want to monetize the nft and We'll get to your question rika from facebook in a moment, but Thanks. I'm glad that you're That you're finding the discussion fruitful, but so Basically, it's still up to the creator what he wants to seed But there there will be some basic rights that you will need to seed for example that That the new owner is the owner in the sense that I can no longer issue That particular nft So again to go back to the example like if it's me I have a video and I accidentally shocked myself Sorry, I got distracted by the by the discord server Like I have to be clear that I'm only minting 10 of these nft So that that clip of me shocking myself on in a youtube build video will only go out 10 times or things like that Rika from facebook asked is it preferred not to use the real name of the creator who sells nft? And what's the mark best market to sell nft? um A lot of the creators that I've seen are anonymous, but it all depends on you And I think the best answer to that would be What would be the best way to market your nft if you as a creator have already have a built-in market? Like sikat kana using your pseudonym or using your um, your your creator's name I think the best way would be to use that creator name. So let's say my real name is anton, but let's say uh I have a secret market because I'm such a I'm such a good painter You guys didn't know that this is my secret skill and I already have nfts But I didn't want to use my real name. So instead I used um, I used my My actual name is sork. Um, sorry my the name that I used to sell my nfts is sork And sork has a following Just like bansky. We don't know bansky's a real name the The famous graffiti artist bansky, but we don't know his real name We don't know who he is, but he's very very famous under that name. So There is really nothing I haven't seen any preferred like recommended ways So my my recommendation would be Use the name that you are Known for already or Amongst your circles if you're known for if your artwork is known under a particular name or under a particular alias Then I would use that alias because the whole point of the nft is really to monetize it. Um and You want to be known that you're the creator of that nft, but really you also want to Profit from that nft and there's nothing wrong with that I mean, you know, but people might want to you know, some people might say it's just a money grab or things like that but there's there's nothing wrong with creating artwork and feeding yourself from that artwork because that allows you to create other artworks Perhaps better artworks a lot of artists, you know have to go through this process of um finding out what they're good at finding out what What what medium their best at and things like that it's a constant process of discovery And I think there's nothing wrong with trying to make money from your artwork. Um, so To go back to the question what is it preferred to use an alias or to not to use your real name I think it would really depend on you And The best would be to use The the name that you're already known for amongst your circles um Yeah, because the bottom line is you want you want to um You want to be able to Monetize it to the best of your ability yep, um Rafael claude is mail from youtube for reals like you actually made money selling nft art I'll I'll I'll talk about this offline. I'm curious I'm curious to learn more John from youtube has a technical question related to crypto and if they don't the two currently at 1080p right now But I have an asus vg 27 aq coming. Oh love that monitor um The one I did get to try was slightly different variant the vg 27 aq l r or something like that, but I do love that monitor I've horizon three six hundred and sixteen sixty t should I upgrade my gpu to still play at ultra settings 1440p Uh, um, I would say you could still probably Play dota at 1440p at ultra settings, but the best is Um, I don't let me shut on discord. Hang on chat. Um Um, so just to go back um, he wants to play dota 2 at ultra settings 1440p With a 1660 ti cut it I think close enough. I mean, you know, the frame rates might not be that great, but you know, um Dota 2 isn't that It's an old game. It's not that demanding. So I would try it out first before upgrading. So, um, yeah I try it out first to see feeling kakaya, but actually you can go you can youtube Uh, dota 2 1440p 1660 ti um And you could see there like how really it performs, but I Like, you know, just off the top of my head. I think kaya. I think I think that's playable So from youtube kiano made a good point about nft. No, I haven't seen it. Um, please do share in the chat or if you want to um Join us on discord and then we can Uh, you can do a live call. You can be our first live caller. I I'd like to try that out too um How we're from youtube worth it poob. I'm going to invest in infinity um, it's you know What do you mean by invest like just buy the if just buy the the crypto? Yes, I would I would buy a xs now. Um, I think it's not a good price Although again disclaimer, that's not financial advice as I mentioned in many of the other streams I'm terrible at predicting if the market has hit rock bottom But me personally, yes, I would buy a xs as an investment if you mean like make invest axi infinity in the sense that You're gonna buy axi then you're gonna train them then you're gonna sell them and you're gonna play them um Like it's the grind worth it because basically the long you're asking two questions say one Is it worth it to invest in the crypto of axi, which is axs? Or and number two, is it worth it to invest in the game itself like to buy axi To grind and things like that to be honest that number two question I cannot answer because I haven't been following. I did try axi for a while, but I'm not Very good at grinding games. I don't uh get the appeal so Uh, you know, I don't uh, it's not for me. So I didn't pursue it So I haven't really been following the ups and downs of like being an axi player So that number two question I honestly cannot cannot um Answer so Why are nfts a big deal? Um They to go back to to link it to the previous question. What's nice about nfts are that they Are trackable they use blockchain. So The it's a complete opposite of a did of a traditional digital asset because digital is again fungible It's so easily replaced and manipulated. It's so easy to take something that you find digitally and Tap out copies left and right. I mean the the cost of manufacture is basically nothing for a digital for a digital good um, I mean Once it's been produced rather sorry So let me to to to rephrase the cost of copying a digital good is basically nothing It's very difficult to produce a digital good like a video game or you know, like a digital artwork or things like that But once it's been produced, it's very very very easy to copy it and to disseminate it and things like that But why nfts are a big deal is that because of the blockchain? It has what you call and if you're a pawn stars, um, if you're a fan of the show pawn stars you can now trace the um The provenance meaning that you can trace like where it originated who bought it Who he sold it to and so on and so forth and and you and because you can trace the provenance You can trace that it's legit. That's the big thing. That's the big thing about nft Um, and that's what it gets. That's the main benefit it gets from using the blockchain is that it It it now makes digital assets legit and you contract the digital asset You can say that oh, yes. Um, this is an original Anton nft Because you know you can trace it through the blockchain and because you can trace the provenance. That's where the value comes in Yes, people can copy the nft. They can screen cap it. They can screen record it. They can do whatever but those will be Obviously copies because they don't have the provenance of the original nft LeBron dunking can be that that same clip of LeBron dunking can be multiplied one million times disseminated all throughout the internet But it call me how I can own don't Top-shot format the nba top-shot format na nft And that's what gives it value because you can trace it because you can But You can trace it and you can trace that. Oh, yes The original owner got it and sold it on December 20 and then that the the buyer of that sold it on December 25 and things like that so, um That is where that is why nft saw value because now anything digital Can be linked in the blockchain and therefore because you can say that this is the first this is this is the original nft Um, the copies don't matter You know, you can you can have a digital artwork and people can just reproduce that how many times they want But it there will only be an x number of that particular nft Rika, how do we increase the value of the nft when you're not yet a well-known artist? Other than open see what's the best platform to share works. Can you also explain how gas fee works? How how best to market nfts is a separate topic to be honest. I've never done an nft myself. So I that's I I'm not the best person to talk about that. I'm only also open. I'm also only familiar with open see for For more mainstream nft. So I'm afraid that I'm really not the best person to talk about that. Um How best to Actually, that's an interesting challenge like how to market how to how to market yourself as an nft creator to To increase the value or to increase like how much you can sell something for Um Yeah, so I'm not gonna lie. Uh, that is something that I would have to look into some more and to research It's an interesting topic But my my knowledge doesn't extend that far My knowledge of nfts doesn't extend that far into like how best to market yourself as an nft creator In how best to market the nfts in general because open see would be my go-to kind of Um my go-to kind of Marketplace for nft so perhaps um topic for a future video And like I could maybe talk to creators who've actually done nfts. So that might be interesting Um and gas fees again, uh kind of technical how ethereum works Gas is the money that you pay so that you can send it. So if it's like the transfer fee Um, but how gas fees are compute computed and things like that Basically, what's nice about the theory is that you can set a priority So if you don't need the transfer to be sent out right away So it's a low priority to be validated on the network. The gas fee will be lower
