Calgary Flames NFTs
Earlier today on the Calgary Flames website, they have commenced on selling NFTs
https://www.nhl.com/flames/fans/nft
With the following collections:
https://calgary.raregoods.com/marketplace
Including coins, jerseys and Harvey the Hound!
Just wondering what people think of this and will you be buying?
Thanks!

I'd only buy one if it leads to the Flames winning the Metaverse Stanley Cup

Why does this have the feeling of giving away money for magic beans*?

I've collected hockey cards, jerseys, pucks, sports figures, photos, clothing, calendars -- the list goes on.
I will not be purchasing any Flames NFTs (although I do think the 8-bit Harvey ones are cute)...

anyone here buys one, I don't want to see them on any threads preaching about saving the environment.
blockchains and NFT's are a stupid waste of the earth's resources.

It's okay to hate NFTs, but to think they'll disappear is quite the stretch, as the NFT world is well on track to be the next big market, and is kind of already at that point.

I saw someone compare buying the imaginary ownership rights to a thing that everybody can experience with their eyes to that fad of buying stars and plots of land on the moon.
NFTs as they are currently being used are such a ridiculous waste of money and resources. I'm sure there's some possible useful application to the technology, but this ain't it.

Blockchains are stupid? Do you understand what a blockchain is?

until they can find a way to lessen the required energy consumption and subsequent harm to the environment, then yes, in my opinion blockchain is stupid.

Look at it. Maybe let it stew on your computer or up on the internet and let it digitally rot. There's definitely better things to spend with your money. NFT assumes money grows on trees. 
I guess for those who hate digital currency and hate blockchain for that matter, they're not mutually exclusive for the digital currency since digital currency requires blockchain for ledgering. However, blockchain can be mutually exclusive on it's own. So, it's not really the fault of blockchain development, but rather the development and the concepts of digital currency with encryption and parallel computing. This whole concept is totally dumb and complex at the same time IMHO.

Can't say I see the connection or agree, but none of us will know if our opinion is correct until years down the road.
Like anything else, there's stupidly insane life-changing money to be made for people who go about it the right way.
