[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8566690, member: 2525"] I am not saying or trying to imply that if you don't like or buy Crypto currencies or NFTs then that makes you old or ignorant. I was specifically saying the original post I was replying to which said all NFTs are scams is, to me, trending right along with prior historical views of new technology which were often generational in nature. We saw that argument from Boomers and generations before them about a host of things which generations after that point use now in their daily lives as ordinary tech, which includes the thing you're reading these words on right now. I don't think it's ageist to say that, when some generations said personal computers or the internet or social media were fads and toys, they were wrong and failing to challenge their biases which were based on their experiences prior to that technology. There will come a point for Millennials where they reach an age where those biases apply to new technology. If you think that hasn't happened yet, fair enough. But, they're human. It will happen, at some point, as a generalization (which means there will be exceptions to the rule). And, like generations before that, many will deny it's happening as younger people see it as obvious that such biases are happening. Whether NFTs are a fad or will be ongoing ordinary tech in the future is yet to be seen. I personally think they're here to stay, but we shall see. But I don't think Crypto currency itself as a concept is a fad, and I think it's past the time period where people can honestly call it a fad anymore. [/QUOTE]
