Block chain solves a real problem of trust (albeit with some caveats). NFTs do no such thing.
Yes, but a very very specific one. It's low throughput by design (because it's a linked list of consecutive blocks that must be appended slowly enough for the network to converge), and to work properly it must be deeply tied to economic incentives.
> arguable one of the better ways as it currently stands.
No, and that's part of why most engineers don't like blockchains: the pretention to be a wold changing solution. Unless you want to build bitcoin, blockchains are probably not a good solution to decentralization. Depending on the definition of the word that matters to you there are technologies that do achieve decentralization in a much more significant way: Torrents, CRDTs, Paxos, or activitypub for instance, or just the good old web since anyone can host their own website as they whish.
And people who really care about decentralization have long known that this isn't a technological issue (since the web is ultimately decentralized as a technology, but completely centralized in practice) but a social one that won't be solve by “revolutionnary tech”. User experience is a key factor here, and blockchains have probably the worst UX ever (and as such, they are overwhelmingly used from centralized platforms, even more so than the actual web).
Remember that you only see overpriced JPEGs and the outrage about it because that's where the money (and hype, and marketing) is, but that doesn´t mean that people aren't using them to build other stuff. You need to give time for actually useful dapps to actually pop up, as opposed to just slapping a price on an image and calling it a day.
Literally none of these require blockchains. And literally none of these are aided in any way, shape, or form by NFTs.
For tickets specifically I already had this conversation recently, see my two responses here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29282931

The question still stands: do show us this "other stuff" so that it actually requires this tech.
> You need to give time for actually useful dapps to actually pop up, as opposed to just slapping a price on an image and calling it a day.
Dapps have been around for 8 years now. So...
Yup. Because all crypto and blockchains are the Internet, and cars, and all other great inventions. Even if all signs point to them being the next Juicero, Enron and AT&T ISIS Mobile Wallet.

There's always a "but", isn't there?
> Except I did, and your answer was "Yeah but you don't need blockchain for that!", which further confirms that you don't want to hear answers.
Oh no. I do want to hear answers. What you don't want to hear is valid questions and criticisms.
Your "answers" for "useful applications for NFT" are literally just a list if things that don't require NFTs (or are made worse by them) and a car analogy.
As always with crypto peddlers, I might add.
Of course
> Again, you don't want to hear answers, and the hostile tone further confirms it.
Ah yes:
Me: provides a clear answer, links to an extended answer to one of the claims (about tickets and NFTs), asks for examples of actual useful applications of NFTs
birracerveza: starts the conversation with an ad hominem attack ("you don't want to hear answers"), repeats the same attack several more times, claims it is I who is hostile.
Yup. Crypto peddlers in all their glory
This is the last reply you're getting from me.
