> Creators of the POAP badge did not intend for these NFTs to be traded or sold, rather they are a way to prove your dedication to brands and provide a way to prove the journey that you have been on throughout life.

Emphasis mine.

This sentence made me physically shudder. Sounds like the worst kind of fanatical consumerism and conspicuous consumption. Oh, and you can also sell them - so in what way do they provide any kind of proof of your "journey throughout life"? Sounds like they will mostly provide proof you have money - like most crypto assets.

> The most exciting aspect of POAP for several of us is that it enables social interactions that are otherwise outright impossible.

What these social interactions are is left as an exercise for the reader, I guess.

Edit:

> As a collector, your POAPs are a record of your life's greatest moments and digitized into a collectible and trackable token.

God help me if my life's greatest moments involve attending some kind of conference, scanning QR codes, and "engaging" with "brands". This reads like parody.
