Petition to stop NFT's and create a better format

We discussed this few months back on ground rules about NFTs, don’t know if the post is still there or Sammy deleted it.

One thing you have to consider is not everyone will be able to make huge profit in the order of 1000s of $s for each NFT, many people still holding onto them in the hopes of making such profits. If they can’t find a buyer, they will have to bring down their price or choose to hold onto them forever.

I think many people are just assuming because someone quoted 10K or 20K for some NFT that is the usual case with each and every NFT.

You have to live with the FOMO, you can’t have all in life, even if Captain makes only fields instead of NFTs, people will not buy everything. I bought so many paid fields which I don’t get to use often, I do my best to use all once in a week at least, same with NFTs. So, after hoarding NFTs for a while people will think twice to buy the next new NFT.

Besides FOMO is illusory, creativity has no bounds, if you are at it, you will find a way to make something which will help you in achieving what you want. You don’t have to worry if only I have that NFT I can make a lot of money or get whatever I want.

The only solution that may satisfy most is if Captain decides to do something similar which he already did but it is his call.

(no private projects and minimum 50 copies has been said)

Not what I want but it’s already a nice solution.

Do you actually even read the thread before posting ??

So few people answered and so far this has been said:

That’s 3 people already offering this solution myself excluded.

This is bad

The whole point of those projects is that people were given the opportunity to acquire a custom field

Not everyone can get 50 people interested in their idea

Some people just wanna create a niche project, with likeminded people, based on their dreams

then initially only 15 people were interested

but once it releases the project turns out great and people who werent interested and never could of thought of it

start getting fomo lmao

Finding 25 people who are willing to buy 2 copies is also hard

In the beginning it would have been easier

But now that most people found their fair share of fields, and kinda started slowing down

50 copies are a lot

If you have fomo, simply create a custom field tailored to yourself lol

50 copies dont have to be sold immediately
captain just creates 50 copies and anyone who wants to buy for set price, just buys…

I understand you don’t like how it is but it doesn’t cause any harm to you or any specific user does it? Although I myself don’t like many practices regarding nfts and I’m sure many people here doesn’t but that doesn’t mean we should stop others from doing things that we don’t like or want. Now imagine if there were no nfts it wouldn’t cause any harm but nft being available doesn’t cause any problem either. It’s only a problem if you see it as a problem. Not to mention there are stuff in nfts that captain would never make for public. So nfts indeed gave people an opportunity to experience things that they would never if there were no nft system. Yes me and some other doesn’t like the fact that there are too much focus on community projects these days and as a result there aren’t much public nfts ,legendary/mythic or gumraod fields being prodeced like before (in comparison to group projects) but that doesn’t simply mean we should try to take it down. And I’m not completely against community project either I just think it would be better if captain puts equal focus on all aspects. And we are just people who are visiting this forum for their own reasons. Today we are here and tomorrow we won’t who knows. (At least that’s how I see myself as some random dude here who’s word hold no weight since I’m not the main guy like captain or sam). But in the end of the day it’s all up to captain. If he is fine with it then I don’t see a problem. And we as random dudes on the internet shouldn’t try to stop him to do something that he likes or wants to do just cuz we don’t like it or anything. And as I said before that having or not having nfts isn’t a bad thing either. If someone is selling at higher price it’s their choice basically. It doesn’t affect anyone. The thing is that people would look at a project and feel bad about not getting it just cuz they like the idea of it. If that’s the cause one can always find on way or another to produce something better or find a different alternative for getting what they want. But stopping completely or not is up to captain and he will do it whenever he feels like. He is the man who makes stuff not you or me or anyone else. Why I’m saying is that whatever it is it’s captain who should decide it. I mean if something makes people happy and isn’t causing any direct harm so I don’t think it’s actually a problem.

So this is what you want. Thank you for stating your preference.

Yes obviously that’s why I created this thread.

Hopefully you can keep making group fields!

So from your perspective it’s fine to make group project as long as there are enough supplies of public products or nfts is that it? Or are you unhappy about the fact that there are too much group projects being made these days compared to those?

I have not stated what I really want as this doesnt matter as much as what others want. I want this thread to be a place where people can choose if they want something different whether this is no nft’s at all or a different form of nft

Well the fact that you are only providing the potential of having something different and not remaining as it is already shows your desire and intention

In my language, we have one saying: The fed don’t trust the hungry one. (many meanings, one of them, the hungry one will try to manipulate them for something)

Can you rephrase what you said, I dont get it.

Just reposting “they want something different” seems deceiving though when I said “IF they want something different” but I dont fully get your point. Please explain.

In my language we just look at what people say without preconceived ideas about whether we should trust or not trust them based on whether we believe them to be fed or not.

I want to say something about this. For me personally, it has sometimes been a quest to find the NFTs that resonate with me. If I had not been able to trade or sell these I would have lost a lot of unnecessary money. Sometimes the best projects for someone are the ones you don’t expect.

It’s a quest and because of this we evolve and learn to know ourselves better…

I’m sure you can create in the setting of the NFT that it can only be resold at same value

How do NFT’s protect the field against theft ? Once you own the NFT, you can simply copy the image or audio and sell that one like with regular mandalas and audios ?

The group NFTs is really is the only you can get custom fields made these days. Dream isn’t going to individually made custom fields for each person anymore (we used to years ago for a price of course).

But if there’s a field that could be made that a number of people want, then dream is likely willing to make it. I know the argument is that there shouldn’t be limited copies because that ends up creating a market for it, which ends up inviting greed.

NFT scarcity was by design from the very beginning. Dream’s idea was that some things in life are rare and in short supply. Some of these worked on fields can be things that the creators (groups and dream) actually own for themselves. And if they choose to sell it or trade it, they can. They have that choice. If there are 5,000 copies, then it’s like owning just another bag of Lays potato chips. If there are only 20 copies of Lays Gold Leviathan Special Edition Potato Chips, then you own a unique and limited bag of potato chips.

NFTs were a way to make fields into, actual special digital items you own and can sell or trade. This is digital ownership. You have choices with your digital purchase. Something that was never possible before.

I think honesty is important. And the truth is, that many people in NFT groups are not only in it for the fields but are in it because they get to buy an extra copy they could sell or trade. So, they get to buy the field but then sell to make their money back and make even more $ in many cases. Win, win situation.

So of course, there are people who get very excited about the monetary aspect. Some, I’m sure are more in it for the money than anything else. I mean for example, some groups get angry if there are any of the details in another project or its too similiar. That’s because they want their project to be the only one of its kind… making it easier to sell to people. (Of course people tend to think ideas get stolen which I can understand that upsetting people. But in most of the cases I looked into, that ended up not being true)

I’m aware of all these things and more. At the end of the day, who am I to judge? If they aren’t purposely scamming people or ripping them off, then it’s all fair. As someone else mentioned, those higher prices rarely if ever got sold and end up getting lowered more reasonably.

This is all a matter of choice. If people want to make money or spend money, they can. We can’t quite police a market that already exists. Many NFTs are already in circulation.

And I have always said time and time again, you don’t need to buy any of our gumroad, teespring, ES or NFT fields. You can get all the healing and growth you need from our free fields.

Now, I think there can be a much more finely tuned balance to this by having more public projects like point of no return be made. But perhaps some free projects as well. It’s easy to feel left out when it seems that 90% of the forum is about the NFTs these days. And 90% of the posts happen in the private chats.

Not everyone has the kind of time some of you have to get involved in these projects. So of course people end up feeling left out. Of course, it creates a strange dynamic to people looking in.
Of course it spawns many questions and concerns.

But I hope I was able to answer some your questions and concerns. If you have more, do let me know.
