I don't know what you're talking about - I'm totally non-ironically putting all of my savings into this. Olive Gardens are an American institution that is permanent and immovable - owning an Non-Fungible Olive Garden Token (NFOGT. See - it's the OG) is, it thus follows, an asset that is going to be stably locked to the value of OGs thus yielding a stable long term investment. At no point could anyone create, say, an NFOGTv2 which is literally the exact same thing except re-issued to make more money. We all know that NFTs are unique and thus must never be duplicated - it's part of that blockchain stuff.

NFOGTs are a sound investment for a better tomorrow.

PS: Please buy mine - the market price has already dropped 99% and my wife is wondering where our kids' college fund just went.

Just sell an NFT of your wife and kids

I also choose this guy’s NFT wife.

Just wait until 50 years from now, when some researcher breaks the underlying crypto algorithms & all the teenagers start pirating Olive Garden franchises.

That would be truly free unlimited (NFT) bread sticks!

Pedant: Fortunately SHA256 and ECDSA are proven to be quantum proof, so we'll need some massive new discovery in the field of computation to hope to break these. Probably easier just to hack the keys out of the wallets via rubber hose method.

Hashing algorithms like SHA256 are probably quantum safe, but Elliptic Curve Digital Signatures are not!

"Imagine that it's fifteen years from now. Somebody announces that he's built a large quantum computer. RSA is dead. DSA is dead. Elliptic curves, hyperelliptic curves, class groups, whatever, dead, dead, dead."

Well I was waaaaay off. Damn, wish I could edit my misinformed post. For some reason I thought bitcoin picked both of those for their blockchain b/c they were Q-proof.

We haven't even proven SHA256 and ECDSA are secure on classical computers. As far as we can tell, they are no less secure on quantum computers. However on both classical and quantum computers, their security is still just "we haven't thought of any way to break them", and not "we have a proof that they cannot be broken under <insert model of computation>".

Hmm, it's slightly different. There is an algorithm to break ECDSA on quantum computers. We have the algorithm, but we don't know how to build the quantum computer yet.

Another important factor:

Buying pointers to actual Olive Gardens will give you entry into the exclusive club consisting of owners of pointers to actual Olive Gardens.

A potential name for your exclusive club: the "Bored Olive Gardens pointer owner Yacht Club."

I will give you one breadstick (real)

A real breadstick will just spoil eventually, or be gone once eaten. I recommend gifting him the NFT of a breadstick instead, it will never spoil, and with that he will be able to show everyone that he owns a breadstick (somewhere). With that the possibilities are endless, other restaurants could use that to verify that he does, indeed, own a breadstick, and give him real breadsticks for free!

What happens if the breadstick your nft points to gets eaten? Some sort of use after free?

Sure someone could eat the breadstick, but let's focus on what's important here, just because someone eats the breadstick doesn't mean they own the breadstick!

NFTs allow you to have your breadstick and eat it too!

fwiw the floor price is up from 0.04($160) to 0.14($560) overnight lol. seems these articles and sharing got the whole thing more attention, as they say no such thing as bad publicity.
