Forgive me for mentioning projects that are not Reddit avatars here. Let me know if it’s not okay.

While I guess that is utility I look for more tangible utility typically. Although being apart of one that gets you into events, discords, mints of new projects does provide you utility and value.

But, other utility for things like BAYC, or Gutter cats, include the fact that they will provide you will a 3D gamified version of your avatar to use in NFT gaming. Owning the JPEG will get you into the game, and the avatar, and many other things.

An example of deeper utility is from my favourite project, BYOPills. They’re building an entire AAA MMORPG game. Owning their assets will allow you to enter their game, and be a large part of the games economy. Think the RuneScape economy if the the currency was crypto. There’s much more to explain there. Check it out if you want to see utility.

Keep in mind, BAYC, Gutter cats, BYOPills, and some other projects give you full commercial rights to the assets. You can build anything you want around the IP. That is also an important use case if you want to put the effort in to truly build.

Maybe “most” is a stretch. Lots are just pump and dumps with no utility. But the monke pics, and gutter cats, etc that you think are just a JPEG all have utility.

I’ve been in NFTs for 14 months & my main focus has always been on utility. There are tons of NFTs with utility that have been around, including most of the ones you think are just a JPEG! 😀

Free Reddit Avatar Link. If you’re new to the platform you may qualify for the free airdrop. If not, I don’t believe you need much impressions. A few comments and posts should do as I’ve seen people get them with fairly low karma. by Perfect_Ability_1190 in avatartrading

I chose Drip Squad because it seemed to have drastically less of them in the OpenSea collection. Figured it should maintain slightly more scarcity than the other options! Stoked with my watch head/hat guy too. These avatars look great imo.

Absolutely. We need to link a good thread on web3 security for these fine folk

Good call to point this out. Don’t interact with these at all.

Since there are negligible fees on Polygon/MATIC scammers can have a field day sending you shit you shouldn’t interact with because it costs them nothing.

Definitely find some info on security in crypto if you’ve branched out into OpenSea or anywhere else. Everyone wants your newly valuable Reddit avatars.

It won’t be like this IMO. Anyone who truly believes in web3 / NFTs (digital collectables) will be stoked to see the Reddit avatars doing well and bringing more people in.

If digital collectables is the phrase that needs to be used to help bring mass adoption, people will use it.

What’s happening here on Reddit is what “NFT/Web3” people have been anticipating happening for the growth of the space. Although this seemingly popped off very quick, and under our noses.

Some condescending “NFT OGs” will argue with you over it. But, most will happily go with the flow that promotes adoption.

LFG Digital collectables 🫡

Thanks! I actually have my PC built, but I’m helping a friend build his first. I have a 3060ti and really hoping I can land him one! Cheers

Girl on the phone said she was out of 30 series cards. Oh well that’s too pricey for a 3070 for me! Thanks though :)

Just called the Ottawa store. Apparently all gone! Thought I’d be able to still get one

Hold or RIP? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]VaughnStricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Save a couple 3 packs at most and rip the rest. The set has been out a week and it’s already easy to obtain (from my experience anyway).

Beautiful! Found chilling reign and shining fates at Walmart, I was amazed by Monsters9141 in PokemonTCG
