Are any of you interested in BYU Digital Collectibles?

Ok, I'll bite, what's a digital statue?

Here's an example...

What can we do with the digital statues? can they be used as a wallpaper on my phone or computer?

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure.

agreed, is it a picture? a video?

Think of it as a digital baseball card. Only it's not a card. It's an image or

Doubt that works. I doubt BYU has all of the rights to something like that. I'm

Well, the reality is anything is possible for the right amount of $$$, but that

You absolutely can do that. If it's a derivative commentary on a piece of work

Cutting a piece of video is not a derivative work. Maybe if you made a video...

But you're not selling the media, you're selling the entry on the blockchain.

That's not the same thing. People aren't going to buy something that doesn't...

I would...do you own all rights to the image and likeness? That is the key here.

ordinary tri guy

9/23/21 3:15pm

No, you own no rights to anything. You own a private key to a Blockchain entry

EQD2

9/23/21 4:55pm

Yes, but only if it is a none Erc-20 token. Pick one with low fees such as Algo

To be clear, you're exploring NFT's, but can't get Nike to sell blackout jerseys

RealSimsShadY

Nike is a different animal to deal with, especially for jerseys!

BYU Licensing

NFT of a blackout jersey with Nike logo?

More Nike gear please. Also, they owe us for the crappy jerseys from the late 90s till Bronco told em to pound sand in

You can own it, sell it, and trade it.

BYU already is selling game worn items.. They sell out quick when posted.

No, because I don’t understand it. Don’t know how I can use it for personal use.

You can use it the exact same way you use a baseball card

The coolest ones would be iconic moments but all of those iconic moments are likely to have multiple public sources so

I think those should be free, open and available.

9/23/21 3:17pm

They're not talking about selling access to those moments or the media rights

The general BYU fan is not going to understand NFT’s, and even if they do, they’ll see it as a gimmick.

The energy expenditure required for NFTs, which have no utility or function, seems questionable.

Absolutely! I’m an investor in the VeVe app and own 40+ NFTs. I’d love that.
