stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were asked their opinion about the NFTs created for the upcoming film, which proved so popular that they temporarily crashed the website on which they were sold.
Reeves, however, couldn’t contain himself - his response was to burst out laughing at the mere mention of NFTs, the very notion of digital scarcity.
The joke that sparked Reeves fit of laughter is the fact that this is artificial scarcity, going against the very ethos of the internet; simply right-clicking an NFT will save the image, obviously, and the digital certificate is only viewed as authentic and valuable because a bunch of investors have decided that it should be so. Frankly, if you think you don’t understand the phenomenon, you probably understand it perfectly well.
But the environmental impact of NFTs is no laughing matter; the verification process behind each NFT requires a , and seeing as the cryptocurrency infrastructure relies mostly on fossil fuels, the fad has arrived at the worst possible time.
Because they (obviously) are a joke
so wrong. not even funny. Katie Couric moment.
When people realise nfts isn't actually about jpegs is when things change.
Forbes, maybe you should REAL fact checkers and not interns. Just sayin' Plus who cares about what actors think? Is that supposed to be relevant?
Keanu Reeves never even said the words “NFT” or “joke” in the entire interview.
Keanu is right
Keanu answered like anybody would, when asked a question about a subject he obviously knows nothing about. Imagine going back 20 years and someone was asked about todays technological advancements like smartphones and the internet. I’d assume the reply would look similar.
Actors Like Jokes!!!!😅😂🤣😂
Funny because I don't remember once when he said 'NFT's are a joke'. Clickbait as always. Congrats Keanu
Well, they are a joke. just really expensive ones 😂
Btc was also 'a joke' in 2009
Keanu what do you think about $DFI defichain?
Keanu respect +500%
NFT are quite interesting for artists, that is for sure. I don't think you are an artist, but make sure it is a good way to support the ones you like.
And unfortunately not that funny if you’re deeply invested
Based
He makes movies for a living - why does his opinion matter?
And? Alex Baldwin thinks he knows gun safety. What's your point exactly?
He is right.🌹
An expensive BoredApe joke.
He needs to be Orange pilled
he either dyes his hair or has asian genetics. no way his hair doesn't grey at his age.
True.
Forbes with fud headlines constantly now
Well he is kinda old
Wow. Probably THE most uneducated article I’ve ever read on NFT’s to date. Congrats Forbes 👏🏼 Another company that will be last to enter the space once they see the TRUE benefits to NFT’s for their own community of loyal readers someday...
Lol the Normal people use a trendy cool matrix star to spread confusion about NFTs
My favorite actor as well, very down to earth, Honest, respectful and nobel.
*knows*
Xentagz Terrible article. Clearly Forbes is paid by the money printing $.
True. Just buy Bitcoin
They are total joke, you can save it from websites or screen grab them. This is not the point, the point is the ownership rights. There is utility for NFT if you have web 3.0 where things would only be able yo display if you own it.
Oh no!
Short NFT story
MartinAudley Hes right
I'll show him.
They are
Keanu is a smart guy.
there are torrents of entire nfts! nft is an OK thing if you really like to spend money/time/energy but scarcity is total bs
I would not be happy if the studio cut me out of the profits.
No shit
NFT look scam and not everyone can use it because of gas fees. crypto is somewhere legit because it's cheap and everyone can buy it and it's creat volatility. We need thing that can use globally and fits in everyones budget and main point It's buying should be simple just click.
They are
Sad he hasn't found a way to cash in on nfts?!?!?
As they currently exist, most of them are, though I think NFTs will have a legitimate use case eventually. Highly doubt it will be for owning shitty jpegs.
I think they are a joke too. But not nearly as much of a joke as Keanu Reeves is...
Because they are...
He's the One
The chap who wrote the article, aside from misrepresenting Keanu’s reaction, doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Hate crypto if you wish, I couldn’t care less, just don’t publish opinion pieces about things you fail to understand because you’re too ignorant to educate yourself.
More like a legal scam but ok.
At least he gets that NFTs are a scam. Now we just need to get to Bitcoin and how it fixes that.
We are so early. RemindMe_OfThis in 5 years
Click bait
I’m boycotting matrix 4 😎
Thanks for reminding us how centralized journalism sucks trying to manipulate and change the reality. You all gonna vanish boomers 👋🏻 👋🏻
bahahhahahahahah when will old people wake up
He’s not wrong… jpeg-based NFTs are a ponzi scheme. Even garyvee tweeted that 95% of them will be valueless (I say 98-99%). I’m waiting for music, movies, advertising/news/fashion photos, IP and royalties-driving assets for NFTs. Who knows who has a nice play in this field?
Email was considered a joke once too - don’t let headlines stop you learning about digital assets. There are very good reasons why they are highly valuable
If you are concerned about the environment use the waxp blockchain. If they’re easily reproduced then go ahead and reproduce it.
So does everybody else Keanu, so does everybody else.
Forbes is a bloody joke.
Sell everything the man has spoken
I love his honesty and authentic respond. Everyone has their own opinions and who are we to impose ours onto them?
I had the realization last night that the metaverse literally is the matrix.
This just proves how early we all are to NFTs.. 🚀
Ok boomer
Spelled “scam” wrong
Have fun being broke.
Because they are a joke
And he is right! Make sure to milk it before you lose it all! Biggest ponzi scheme ever..
Why would they make an article about this? Buy! Buy! Buy!
Still a king
Whoaaaa
Well.... they are
He is an actor so who cares what he thinks about crypto nfts If I had a screenplay to direct then I would ask Keanu.. Dafuq
Agree
He is right
NFTs are a scam.
He has been beyond the wall of code! U can't fool Neo!
This is being spun. Pretty sure he knows that an NFT is a non fungible receipt showing ownership. If you attach an NFT to shit, it’s still shit…
He ain't wrong
because they are
He's 100% right! Who really wants some pixalated POS a 5 year old could have done?
Well, he is Neo.
he's not wrong .... owning a dummb picture isnt much..... BUT IF YOU OWN AN NFT WITH UTILITY .... now that's interesting my friend
They are indeed
Neo knows.

literally who cares
Actually, he is a joke 😅😂
🤡 made 35k off nfts
So do most rational people.
Thank you Keanu, as always, for embracing your own thoughts and for never being afraid to articulate them! KeanuReeves
They are!!!
Yes they are
+1
Nice joke he he
We met Mr Keanu Reeves many years ago. Fantastic person! It's interesting on how his mind works. Keanu Reeves words ' Because the way my mindset differs from the majority, you'd think I come from a different dimension.'
Finally someone sane 🙏🏻
NFTs respond with a convoluted, possibly correct argument only they understand.
I agree but sometimes people with money don't make wise financial decisions. Take advantage of it while it's popular, it may not last long.
Pretty please, shave your beard to show your pretty face! keanureeves3451
I think so too

NFTs are only valuable according to what worth individuals attach to the concept of owning a secure digital original token. They are like the Emperor's New Clothes to many who perhaps are attached to the tangible world they're used to, me included.
He’s a joke, he doesn’t understand cool Ponzi schemes
If it's a joke, aren't the people who invest in them fools?
He has a good point.
Same
Well he’s a clever man so he’s probably right
Shocked
He really is the one
Why do we care what Keanu thinks?
What would neo said about NFT?
Everything that one does not understand becomes 'A Joke'

Don't listen to him! Here, take this blue pill. It will make everything better.
Digital beanie babies
🙏🏼
They really are , just screen capturing someone’s “nft” you can essentially make it yours🤣 this nft thing is a joke but if you can make money on it by getting the gullible to pay you more power to ya
He’s an actor. Why listen to him?
I agree.
There are some compelling use cases for NFTs, unfortunately NFTs aren’t doing any of them atm.
Utah definitely didn’t make it ✌️
EVERYTHING IS A JOKE
But he's already rich and clearly someone is getting rich off of them.
nft mfs trying to explain its not while this guy is literally the chosen one of the matrix
