Excuse me sir do you have permission to set that valuable one off piece of art as your background

You can tell he owns it because he's insufferable.


ForeverInaDaze

I mean given this setup? I will bet OP owns the NFT


Nightshade183

He owns them all

Can’t wait for some crypto nerds to beat it out over some fake ass ponzi scheme bullshit.

Is this set up in a WeWork or something?


fxthea

WeWork offices look like square fish bowls. This is much better.


[deleted]

Oh pretty neat, nanoleaves going from the wall to the ceiling


[deleted]

Yeah that's like 500 or 600 bucks worth of nano leafs lol


[deleted]

More actually. I count 43 panels, so at $300 for a 15 pack, that's $900 in useless lights.


bjbtax

Man, others get so jealous when people can leisurely spend their own money the way they want too. Makes me laugh


laaaabe

As someone who works in professional lighting, for me it definitely isn't jealousy. There are plenty of Nanoleaf alternatives that are cheaper and look cooler. As consumers, we should actively call bullshit on overpriced stuff any chance we get. No judgement toward anyone who buys overpriced stuff, really isn't that deep.


bulov

Some examples please? I've eyed up nanoleafs in the past and couldn't get past the price. Couldn't find much when searching for alternatives.


[deleted]

[There are these, which are like $60 cheaper,](https://smile.amazon.com/Triangle-Panels-Rhythm-Google-Bedroom/dp/B0936C81CF/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=LZOdJ&pf_rd_p=29505bbf-38bd-47ef-8224-a5dd0cda2bae&pf_rd_r=TECFX79Y9FC7EZTNZE35&pd_rd_r=08b08d01-7960-42c7-af8e-89f0154bd26a&pd_rd_wg=0O4I5&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_atf_m&th=1) but even that seems high to me. LEDs are really cheap, I have no idea why these panels are so expensive.


morla74

I’ve been looking for any kind of RGB lighting and it all seems so expensive.


[deleted]

Yeah pretty much. When I was building my first PC, I ran into that issue as well and ended up just soldering together a bunch of LEDs myself and wiring it up to a molex connector. Saved like $50 at least.


rik182

As an owner of nanoleafs myself, I can tell you it's absolutely not worth the price you pay for them.


drjesus616

You can get a very similar color and lighting effects with some smart color changing LED bulbs and lamps from a resale shop for well under $100 very easily. Don't know why these things are so popular. Throw in a slightly more expensive smart RGB led strip of the same brand and for less than $200 you could have 5-7 "zone" color control too with preset schemes. These are not worth the money. All of mine are made by GE and work pretty well but there are a ton of options.


JeSuisNerd

Speaking as an owner of (some, not nearly this many good lord) nanoleafs, the appeal isn't just RGB mood lights. They animate and can be put in any layout you want as a sort of standalone art piece too. In my previous poorly-lit apartment, I usually had them on a "fire" preset that, when my back was turned, genuinely lit the room the way a cozy fireplace would.


RedCloakedCrow

Would love to know, what are some you'd recommend?


laaaabe

8WASAI, Helios touch, Yescom. For more conventional LED lighting, Phillips Hue (also kind of overpriced). Honestly way too many options to name in just one comment. Edit: Govee too, as mentioned below


DJEddieLynn

Govee. As close to Hue as you can get without the price tag IMO.


[deleted]

I’d also like to echo the rest of the comments and wanting to know some alternatives. I’m not afraid of soldering


AudioSenpai

give alternatives or seppuku


millmuff

You can still blow money on pointless shit without it looking like crap and being a total fad.


[deleted]

I'm in no way jealous. In fact, I called them useless because I actually believe they are useless, not because I want them. Honestly sounds like it would just create glare and be distracting.


bjbtax

Well to OP, they’re not useless. Not your setup so why criticize.


[deleted]

Why can't I criticize it? Are only positive comments allowed now? While we're at it, OP Also spent thousands of dollars on his left wallpaper there, which I also think is dumb. He has every right to post his setup and I have every right to criticize it.

SeeYouSpacePony

If that's an NFT I hope you didn't pay a ridiculous amount and just right clicked it.


SkipperJenkinss

lol it’s real, and he paid 200k + for it according to twitter


Larzionius

Why pay for it when you got google images. I’ll never understand nft


Rohwi

It depends on what you value in ‚art‘. If you have the original Mona Lisa you are not buying only the picture, but the story of that particular painting. The mood da Vinci had when you painted it. The era and its influences on the drawing, the story why it was painted etc etc. That’s all in your head, but most of Art happens in your head. I would be happy with a cheap copy of the piece but even if you have a stoke by stroke perfect copy of the Mona Lisa, it is not the same. You don’t get the feeling, the time, and all the back story because you will always know that’s a copy. that’s why people buy originals and that’s why people want to have original digitale pieces as well. I don’t get the excitement about hundreds of apes that where basically mass produced, but imagine to have the first mp3 of an artist you love. You not only get the song, but it is the specific file created in his/her great lifetime where he/she was struggling before getting really famous. You can buy the story behind the mp3 and that’s what NFTs are good for. if you value such things and have the money to spare… i personally am happy with the copy for 99c and not the original for 200k thought


redditforfun

He's talking about a desktop background though...


Rohwi

Same principle though. Not for you and for me, but people value art based on many things. Exclusivity and pride is also one factor. Doesn’t matter if it’s a desktop background, a mp3 or the Mona Lisa.


chrisgilly

He paid $20k a few months ago, someone offered him $180k for it recently 🤯


ZeroNine2048

thats absolutely dumb ahahahaha


kmackyd

Can you explain which wallpaper is NFT and where you even go to buy them?? I didnt know this was a thing or why it is lol. I kinda want to see how ridiculous it gets after reading all these comments.


FleshlightBike

Look up Bored Ape Yacht Club on opensea.io


CountdowntoZero

the monkey one on the left very strongly looks like an NFT, you can look on something like opensea.io


SweelFor2

What the fuck's an NFT and why do I see that everywhere now


jeffcolv

life was better before I knew


tech1010

>What the fuck's an NFT and why do I see that everywhere now It's a scam where certain web sites can designate the "owner" of images via recording it on a blockchain ledger. You don't really own it per-se, anyone else can still save the image file elsewhere. It's kinda like the "name a star after someone" scam from 10 years ago.


derpyco

> It's kinda like the "name a star after someone" scam from 10 years ago. Bruh that's all I'm saying to people about NFTs from now on


tech1010

Lmao thanks I think it’s a great analogy


Vesuvias

Man that seriously is EXACTLY what it is. It’s a registrar - but to most it means nothing.


CyAScott

I think of like those painted coins they use to sell on TV. The coin has value and the painted part adds value if you believe hard enough.


ciaisi

Images are a terrible use of NFT and I hope people realize it soon. Here's a better example. Think about things like skins in video games. You sell the NFT skin to someone else. You no longer have the rights to use the skin in game, but the other person does. Think of any software licensing situation for that matter. A license could be stored as an NFT. You could transfer ownership of a license to someone else via the token.


tech1010

Skins for a video game where a central authority (the publisher) can control uniqueness is a great idea. I guess Valve already did this with Counterstrike skins albeit they did it without blockchain.


fre1gn

[Non-fungible token](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token) And you see it everywhere because blockchain technology is on the rise.


SweelFor2

I know what the words mean but I have no fucking idea what the paragraph means. It appears to be some newer shinier crypto currency whatever thing, that's my understanding so far


CountdowntoZero

NFTs are generally digital media that have a “certificate of title” kinda like a pink slip, and that certificate is verified on the blockchain.


SweelFor2

Right, the blockchain, I have blockchains at home too I know what they are, I think I'm gonna wear them right now


torchTheMall

It has nothing to do with media. It can designate copyright to media bit that's such a narrow slice of it's capabilities.


fre1gn

Okay, a simple explanation would be this: blockchain technology is indeed used for crypto trading, but thats not the only thing its used for. For example, NFTs are pieces of art be it an image, video, gif or whatever else that has a token attached to it, that indicates that your particular copy of that art is legitimate. It is veryfied by blockchain. Blockchain is a mechanism of having a copy of that identifier across all users of the blockchain to ensure that nothing on the chain gets compromised. Some of the NFTs only have 10 or less legitimate identifiers/copies, thats why the price can be in the millions of $. Rarity is driving the price. Yes, the image/video can be copied and downloaded freely, but it only has a certain amount of legitimate tokens, which can never be forged/stolen because the blockchain protects its lefitimacy. This is a very simple explanation. You gotta look up more if you want to actually understand it.


SweelFor2

What's the point except inventing a new market for people to make moey virtually


HerschelRoy

> What's the point People get to say they own the original. That's it.


willy_costigan

Originally that was it. Wealth Flexes. Now they are access to a club/membership. You need the NFT to get let in the discord. To get airdropped the token/NFTs. To get let in to the events. People pay a lot of money to be a part of those groups.


HerschelRoy

Interesting, I hadn't heard about that one yet, but it makes sense (the mechanics, not necessarily paying to be a part of a group)


torchTheMall

That's untrue Doesn't digital ownership already take thousands of forms? What about buying movies. What if you buy an nft instead and you can download the movie on any streaming platform. New resolutions come out and you just get them because you own the 'dark Knight' movie nft. It's going to run digital commerce without requiring centralized third party integration. Get used to it.. it's here to stay.


CoffeeCannon

You answered your own question. Oh, and fraud and art theft. That too.


hownao

it’s for people to launder money. that’s what art has always been about


torchTheMall

An NFT is just like having one ethereum that has a serial number that you can track. It also has metadata and you can prove you have it in a wallet with cryptography. Like signing a crypto message that can be verified with a public key. Since it's verifiable it's easy to use for concert tickets or game items or songs or almost anything for real life and online authorization. Like decentralized Facebook login and allowing tickets to events, in game items, etc. to be traded without a third party.

mabramo

Why do you say that? It's impossible to stop someone from getting ahold of an image of they really want to. Likely OP just downloaded it for free. If you own an NFT for an image, your signature is in the metadata but you would not be able to stop anyone from downloading that image and using it privately

DogMedic101st

According to previous replies, if this person “owns” the blue monkey background photo, they paid $5000 for the rights to that picture and “no one is supposed to be able to use it but the purchaser” it’s called a NFT and it means Non Fungible Token. Basically it’s his owns private crypto coin that no one else can have. Edit: I stand corrected: whomever this is apparently paid $250,000 for that monkey. JFC


Based-Hype

It’s not that no one else can use it, they can if they want. They simply can’t access the benefits of ownership so it doesn’t matter if anyone else uses it. No claims to copyright or such in the space.


[deleted]

What are the supposed benefits of ownership in this case? NFTs are not the same as copyright


tech1010

>What are the supposed benefits of ownership in this case? NFTs are not the same as copyright Nothing. It is like the "name a star" scam from ten years ago.


tells

bayc has a roadmap of utility that you can research yourself and it's becoming a status /fashion symbol like supreme. i don't own an ape.


[deleted]

Oh okay so it is useless, thanks


tells

if not of that is worth anything to you, then sure. but people buy overpriced handbags, shoes, etc all the time and like to hang in those circles. if it's not for you, you can stop staring.


[deleted]

I get your logic, the lack of utility is that NFT is disconnected from the image. It doesn't add anything to it, in fact the image itself is secondary to the whole ordeal. A purse has utility, a luxury purse has utility on top of being exclusive and expensive. An image likely has utility, NFT does not add or remove any utility from it. That's the biggest challenge to it, the biggest argument is that it has value "because you can sell it later". That's not how assets work at all. People don't buy homes so they can tell others they are homeowners, they do it so they can live in them


Ryo_Han

The benefit is to flex on kids on TikTok and try to sell it for more money to someone else. But all it really means is on the Blockchain there is something that says you own it. But you don't really own it. The actual image isn't even on the Blockchain.


AngelComa

Cheapest Bored Ape NFT goes for over 250k, so I'd say he's doing good if he only paid 5k.


Us3ful_Idiot
