However, his views on blockchain technology aren\u2019t sitting well with everyone. The exponential rise of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology has become a daily topic of conversation the internet, with views about them being split across the board. Many influencers have gotten involved with Bitcoin, Altcoins, and NFTs \u2013 with the latter being a major source of controversy for some, especially as they creep further into the gaming sphere. Non-fungible tokens are cryptographic tokens, normally depicting an image or moment. However, due to their \u201cfungible\u201d nature, they can\u2019t be exchanged for other NFTs. Instead, they are traded for different blockchain. Asmongold slams \u201cridiculous\u201d NFTs In the case of Asmongold, he sees \u201cthe value\u201d in NFTs \u201cas technology,\u201d however he isn\u2019t entirely convinced on them as a whole. \u201cAm I the only one who finds people scrambling to spend thousands of dollars on a picture of a monkey ridiculous?\u201d asked the content creator, addressing the functionality of NFTs to his audience. Furthermore, Asmongold added: \u201cAm I out of touch, or have people lost their minds?\u201d I see the value of blockchain and NFT\u2019s as a technology BUT Am I the only one who finds people scrambling to spend thousands of dollars on a picture of a monkey ridiculous? Am I out of touch or have people lost their minds? \u2014 Zack (@Asmongold) November 28, 2021 One commenter, in particular, took issue with Asmongold\u2019s statement: \u201cOf course it sounds ridiculous when you phrase it like that. But you can say the same thing for WoW.\u201d They didn\u2019t stop taking shots there either, adding \u201cAm I the only one who finds people scrambling to spend thousands of dollars on a game they already paid for, to keep playing it?\u201d Another comment said: \u201cSame could be said about people spending money to watch other people play video games.\u201d Despite some backlash, most commenters have shown a collective agreement on Asmongold\u2019s views: \u201cThe technology will evolve and be very valuable but yes, things like BAYC and profile pic NFTs are cringe. Agreed.\u201d With NFTs continuing to rise in popularity, we\u2019re sure Asmongold won\u2019t be releasing his own soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
