I went searching for an affordable NFT...and came back with a soccer team?
What in the blue hells is going on here?
I'LL GIVE YOU A DOLLAR FOR YOUR APE THERE
I won't bore you with what I know about NFT's because it's obviously
precious little. Something something one of a kind thing that you are the
sole owner of that people can copy for whatever reason and there's the
remotest possibility it might make you squillions, yada yada something
fungus multi millionaire bitcoin crypto.
Am I even close here?
Still I do want one, purely for curiosities sake.
Luckily the place where I buy my cryptocurrency (Coinspot -
you can sign up here and something good happens or something) has the opportunity to buy certain NFT's without having to go anywhere. So
if I suddenly want to buy myself a tennis ball for whatever reason, something
like this is readily available:
A couple of minor setbacks though if I want to be an owner of one
of these Australian Open Art Balls and they are:
1. The price. At the time of writing it's $176 AUD and if I had that kind of
money spare, I'd probably be using it to put a decent stereo system in my car
instead of investing in virtual tennis balls. Or I'd buy some stakable crypto
with it. Or I'd pay off more of what's owned on our Zip pay. Or I'd take my
best friends to dinner.
Long story short, right now I couldn't justify
spending that much on something like this.
Ten bucks sure, one hundred at a stretch...but this? Too pricey for my blood
for the unknown (to me)
2. On Coinspot that's one of the cheapest NFTs. The only thing cheaper is a
Dennis Rodman hairstyle and I wish I was kidding. But no, scope thusly:

| Now what the hell am I going to do with this? |
For the record the most expensive NFT option through Coinspot is actually a
Bored Ape at this eye watering price..

| You've got to be joking right? |
Plentiful yes, affordable to me? No. And so I kept looking and wound up
at Reddit where I tried my luck at straight up asking for one.
CAN I HAVE AN NFT PLEASE?
I got my free NFT wallet (I mean where else am I going to put them?) using a
Chrome Extension called
MetaMask and thus
armed with a place to store my future millions of random art pieces, I hit up
r/NFTsMarketplace and dropped that wallet code everywhere, trying to score
anything for free because who doesn't like a freebie?
Which I did eventually, someone said they sent me one. Only the wallet remains
empty to this day (now this might be because there wasn't any funds in there
to begin with, apparently you need some fundage for gas to do stuff with? I'm
still learning it seems...) So that was a bust. Plus I got bored real quick of
the 'upvote this post, join this discord, tweet this 9 times for the chance to
win' that came with most of those posts. Time to move on...
TO SORARE!
Yes we finally arrive at the actual soccer part of this post, something I know
just as much as I know about NFTs. But there is a connection here:
A new fantasy football game is in town, buy, trade and play with official
digital cards! Put your football knowledge to the test and collect scarce
football cards on Sorare! Blockchain Game.
So mildly curious, I signed up for free and before you know it, they threw a
bunch of random players at me.
Because me and players of any sport
I have no clue about go so well on this blog... but anyway.
THE LIST OF DON'T KNOW'S IS LONG AND STARTS IN SYDNEY
Look, they're all minor speed bumps surely but for the record:
-I don't follow soccer and couldn't tell a Real Madrid from a fake one
-I haven't the foggiest who any of my team are or if they're any good at all
-When throwing a team together from the 12 players I have so far...well
there's no rhyme or reason to it, I just throw them in there.
-I think my
guys are playing? But I'm not sure..
-I have no idea what this has to do with NFTs
-I have no idea how to make money here.
-How does this game work? I don't know
-Have I won anything? No idea.
I will point out which unlucky bastards have ended up in my team (hereby known
as the Nada Fajita Tornadoes, a fine soccer team name if ever I heard one) in
another post but in the meantime if you play this game or even better, want to
send me free NFT's so I can be worth millions next year just let me know
below.
In the meantime I'll keep searching (and learning) ever so slowly..
Want to check out Sorare and maybe try out a team yourself? Here's a referral link that rewards us both (or something.) Enjoy!
