    Until the blockchain bro actually provides evidence that their system works, I would approach it with skepticism generally reserved for people with long trench coats beckoning you into dark alleys.

        Participate in surveys that actually matter.

        Seems like yet another survey rewards site except maybe with blockchain and dollars

        We leverage Ai and blockchain technology to guarantee user privacy, anonymity, and trust.

        Okay, yeah, this is genuinely insane. Blockchain doesn’t mean anything except for “append-only distributed database” and “AI” in anything less than a technical context is also meaningless.

        Own Your Data with NFTs: Secure, immutable, and blockchain-certified. No fine print, just you in control.

        And we already know how much of a joke NFTs are. They are digital receipts at best. If I can download somebody’s monkey picture and own it more than they do, then saying your data is protected by one is dishonest.

        In 2022, “130 NFTs were claimed, and 59 NFTs were minted.” A year later, they’re up to 77. That’s 18 mints in 365 days.

          Have a longer think on that. Interoperability with receipts and a programming language. Sounds like it could go somewhere.

            I think you’ll have to be creative and tell me what they solve that other, more efficient, existing things don’t.

            I’ve been quite creative here by diagnosing myriad issues with this system. It’s over engineered, it uses too many buzzwords, It’s woefully under adopted, it won’t ever replace an existing system, etc.

            Regarding NFTs, you’re going to have to be the one to convince me they have any value, as calling them glorified digital receipts is maybe a bit too kind.
