here are two documentaries about NFTs. the first one is about 20 minutes and is a succinct explanation.
the second is a ~2 hour long documentary of sorts diving into the history of the rise of crypto and what precipitated it, and how it lead into NFTs.
you should understand what these are. it’s truly, literally, no exaggeration, nothing. you aren’t even buying an image, or a video, or anything. all the images are is visual representations of a position on a database. a database is just a list. and you just. reserve a spot on that list basically. you aren’t buying ownership over an image, or anything really, aside from the position on the database.
On this day, 27 January 2010, US libertarian socialist historian, activist and former World War II air force bombardier Howard Zinn, died aged 87. Through his extensive writings on history from a grassroots perspective, especially his seminal People’s History of the United States, he helped inspire a new generation in the concept of history from below, including us at Working Class History.
Zinn observed that “Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery - have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience.”
And while his work does examine huge rebellions and brave deeds, he also stressed the importance of how we act in our everyday lives: “We don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
If you haven’t read People’s History yet it is highly recommended. You can get it here from an independent bookstore: https://bookshop.org/a/80203/9780062397348https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1908650032653471/?type=3
