Trust me when I say that there could not have been more sarcasm in my response of “what a bargain”

The most expensive token —a digital statue of Nightwin— costs $89.99 and consists of 1,850 copies.
But it’s Nightwin… Come on guys, you don’t like Nightwin?

Quick question for those buyers of crypto that live in NY state - how do you go about buying the smaller cryptos that aren’t readily available at places like Coinbase? I can purchase BTC and ETH, of course, but NY makes it more difficult to purchase the lesser-known cryptos (I’m mostly interested in the DeFi “coins”, for example). I know some say to sign up with sites like Kraken via a VPN, but not all VPNs are trustworthy. If you don’t want to answer on the thread, feel free to DM me here. Thanks to any that respond.
I’m in the same boat… isn’t it unbelievable that New York is grouped with countries like Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and Yemen as places Crypto exchanges don’t want to operate in? Absolutely pathetic that this is what has become of this place…
I have cousins in FL who will buy coins for me. Haven’t bought anything new yet but I assume when they buy the coins, they should be able to transfer them to my wallet.

This garbage regulatory BS is happening to everyone. For example the token which powers NBA Top Shot (FLOW) has seen massive gains while I’ve been watching it and no one in the US is allowed to buy it. I’m not gonna use a VPN. I play this game straight. But the US is taking all sorts of risks with our money that sits in our bank accounts. They need to allow us to take risks too. It makes no sense that I can go blow my life savings on weekly call options really far out of the money but I can’t buy a flow token which never expires…

I don’t know a lick about this, but I am trying to wrap my head around it. That being said, for those that have mentioned digital collectibles, have you all seen this:
These digital packs are insane. 90,000 people in queue for 5,000 packs. My buddy just bought a Dwight Howard dunk for $25, just to get a feel for what this is.
I have BTC and ETHs but honestly, i’m still wet behind the ears with crypto… i’m just holding (and glad i did) what i bought 4 years ago. A friend and co-worker, who introduced me to crypto, is big into “Blankos” which are these digital “POP” like characters that are for a game thats supposed to come out i think… he’s dropped some loot on these things and no one’s really heard of them.
Not that unbelievable, really, look at who is running (ruining?) this state. Maybe the solution is to move to a state like FL where there is at least a decent amount of freedom to purchase cryptos; I’m not opposed to a move after watching the sh*t show in Albany over the past year. I’ve done a fair amount of searching on the internet, but haven’t come up with much (other than the usual VPN talk). Anyway, thanks for responding.

Yeah I have a few packs. I won’t buy from the marketplace but I have a couple up for sale 
I’m more interested in an infrastructure play via the underlying blockchain’s token (FLOW). It’s banned in US… how can this be justifiable?

Looks like Blankos runs on a “custom” version of the EOS blockchain. If it was on ENJ / ETH I’d be interested
You all said you didn’t mind answering questions that may be really, really uninformed.
Are these cards-“moments”…similar to something like the Star Wars Topps Trading card game? A digital “item” that you can have and collect, but are not tangible per se?
Man, I find this stuff absolutely fascinating, but whether it’s my age, my educational background, etc…I sure have trouble wrapping my ahead all of it.
I really love reading and seeing all of your posts in this thread though…keep them coming.

I read the last 6 or 7 responses and literally had never even heard of half the words in the sentences.
It was like reading another language

…remember when we bought and sold physical items? Yeah, I understood that. NFT befuddles me, and I’m somewhat tech-savvy.

Investing in cardano and Decred were two of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Both up over 1000% in the last year.
I hadn’t planned on more than 2% of my portfolio being crypto but that quickly changed. I have been gradually selling my Ethereum as it reaches my targets.
I’ve gained more confidence in crypto, but at the same time it still kind of freaks me out it could pop any minute. Especially with things like the Tether investigation and any new regulations that could get passed. One of my privacy coins was removed from two exchanges and it dropped like 20% fast, although since recovering.
While larger institutions are onboard I fear some projects could get vaporized rather quickly with the government involved.

Don’t worry, I’m about as technical as it comes and I have no idea why anyone would spend money on “virtual” stuff… When I play games, I rarely spend any money on the in-game purchases just to buy a skin for a character or whatever…

Meanwhile, giant endowments like the Harvard endowment are spending ludicrous amounts of money drilling for underground aquifers and other water sources. NOW who’s investing long term? While people are looking to the crypto red herring as “the future”, buying and trading collectibles that don’t exist other than when you’re staring at them on a screen, some real thinkers are investing in the most vital building block to life that can’t have it’s “limited release” arbitrarily increased.

You know they have water ETFs now right? You can invest in water that only exists on the screen too LOL
That’s exactly right. Except having the asset exist on a public blockchain allows ownership of it outside the entity that minted it.

Hahaha. ENJ just surpassed ETH in percentage terms in mine. Never planned on that (when I started this thread ENJ was at like $0.20 - right now it’s $3 (knock on wood))

Yes, but you can’t drink a statue of Nightwing in a desert.
