Not sure how I feel about the kits promoting this… NFTs are murky business.

Ffs, I don’t want to see this. NFT’s are bad news20

Same as a betting sponsorship in my eyes.
Won't ever spend money on it and would hope no one sticks money in NFTs just because Charlton are sponsored by them.6 -

I can see Charlton fans/football fans investing losing their money in this.
Fools and their money are soon parted.2 -
I posted it in the crypto thread also. I've joined the discord, apparently there will be some freebies for us fans2

Crypto is not the same but has some similarities and is open to fraudsters.
There was a woman on the TV today who had lost (with her family) £250K to the below scam.

This the next stage in the Lee family connections?
First we had Robert's son in Elliott, now Robert's Dad?3 -
All seems dodgy or at best a bit risky.
Not something I have any interest or intention of "investing" in.
Noticed the club haven't, yet, suggested fans get involved.5 - Sponsored links:

Nothing wrong with NFT's when they are used properly. In fact they will revolutionise certain industries that will become evident as Web3 develops over the coming years.
This looks nothing more than a "Panini stickers" type use of NFT's and will be harmless enough and I suspect of little interest to the majority and average Charlton fan.
If you didn't hide under the table during the advent of the Internet, you should be fine with NFT's in the future.9 -
Has that picture been posted anywhere or am I being thick? Looks like someone's photoshopped a moody nft project onto our kit and looked for a bite on twitter

I believe it to be genuine. There was advertising in the ground for Robot's Dad at the Swansea friendly.CAFCsayer said:Has that picture been posted anywhere or am I being thick? Looks like someone's photoshopped a moody nft project onto our kit and looked for a bite on twitter1 -
Where can I buy a jpeg of a robot for £500?1

Worse. At least gambling is regulated. The one saving grace is at least it's not a front of shirt sponsor.SELR_addicks said:Same as a betting sponsorship in my eyes.

Not quite sure how this comparison was landed on.

If you look back at the advent of the internet, some people were wary of it's potential for good and were dismissing that potential before it had been developed in earnest. We are at a similar juncture with NFT's IMHOGarrymanilow said:

Two hour documentary which does an excellent job on some of this stuff.

I haven’t a clue what a NFT is.
Can someone, in simple terms and few words, explain briefly what and why.1 - Sponsored links:

Absolute fucking bobbins. There is no inherent value in NFTs. They're a cash out scheme for people stuck in the crypto ponzi. There is, and always has been massive inherent value in 'the Internet' - trying to compare the NFT scam to 'the Internet' because it might one day be useful in Web 3.0 is like trying to compare swapping panini stickers in the playground with global currency trading.No.1 in South London said:

And don't even bother trying to paint me as someone who might have been 'scared of the Internet' (🤣🤣🤣), since I've forgotten more than you and every other cryptobro will ever know about technology.

Good point.se9addick said:Hope we got the sponsorship money upfront.
We have a bit of a history of sponsors running out of money... :-)1 -
You down with NFT
Yeah you know me!4 -
I’m not down at all to be honest, it’s like a whole world I have no idea how it works. Crypto, NFTs, my brain seems to have a digital block to it all.The Solana Blockchain sounds like a 2 star Magaluf hotel filled with on the cheap Northerners24

There's not a single thing in there that is innovative or even necessary. It's mostly just ways of fractionalising an item, which the buyers do not get to own in any real way, in order to make yet more profit off it. In fact one of the things listed on that article is putting NFTs up as collateral for loans, which is an extremely excellent way to lose everything when your picture of a cartoon monkey loses 90% of its value overnight because it's a picture of a cartoon monkey with absolutely no regulation or real world value. And 90,000 other people have right clicked on the JPEG and put it on their Pinterest anyway because of course they have. And then actually someone else has sold that same picture to 100 different people after claiming they owned it when actually they didn't, because stealing artwork and scamming others is the cornerstone of the NFT market. And that's all without the ridiculous environmental impact that NFTs have. I am not psyched about our shorts advertising an environmentally destructive, unregulated pyramid scheme.No.1 in South London said:

Stealing nfts and selling someone else's work/images as your own are two completely different things.Garrymanilow said:

Luckily things like the blockchain, mean buying a stolen image isn't very likely if you have half a clue what you are doing.
If the club sell a nft of TS rocking out on the halfway line, it's traced back to them
Thank god money isn't volatile, easy to manipulate and loses value over night !
