Dunbar Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I can't tell you how happy I am with the introduction of non-fungible tokens, I was getting properly fed up with my tokens being funged.

Futtocks Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm afraid I lost all my money buying jpegs of hobbits and orcs... ... ... ... ... ...wait for it... ... ... ...

Griff Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I understand the concept of sticking stickers into a Panini album. I don't understand this at all, though. What am I collecting? And why?

Jughead Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 There’s a lot of discussion on these things and whether they’re a scam or a worthwhile investment avenue. I don’t know enough about them to have an opinion on it. They’re relevant and something that the younger age range are quite keen on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davet Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 This really does bring the RLWC in to the modern era. NFT's are all over the place these days. Tyson Fury, Katy Perry, Ozzy Osbourne, Snoop Dog are just a selection of the ones I currently own. Have seen people make 10x times what they bought them instantly as soon as they get released.

Indeed and that is the important thing. With respect to most on here I don't think we are the target market for these. If it helps to get kids engaged and talking about the RLWC then surely that is a good thing. I remember the old RL trading cards when I was at school and they were a great way to get kids engaged and talking about RL. This is just the 21st century smartphone generation version.

Mark S Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Surely it’s just an organisation jumping onto a bandwagon in order to get a piece of the action, AKA ‘responsive marketing’. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapsed Leeds Fan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Ultimately the market will decide whether this is a good move by the RLWC organisers but I'm willing to give it a go. Transactions can be in sterling via TiliaPay so it's as risk free as any other online transaction. NFTs may crash and burn or they may hold their value. Either way, surely it's worth trying it for one world cup cycle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do all my trading on the Theta platform as they have good tie ins with the largest celeb agency in the US. Obviously the rarer the NFT the more it can resale for.

Human Punk Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Similar idea to paying for packs in Fifa really. Seems daft to me, but then I was happy to pay for Panini stickers - at least they were fungible. In Scotland as I recall it was "got, got, no' got, got" etc...

Dunbar Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 On a more serious note. I have looked into these NFT's for comic book assets. I am a big fan of the Marvel comics and would look at getting rights to one of the digital assets from the online publications. That would be ownership of something where the product is the image/content and for me has real value (in personal terms if not commercially). Rugby League NFT's are a little more tenuous connection and the product is not the digital asset so not really for me.
