    No, you have your digital id in a database that also has a link to a picture of the precious. There is no implied ownership of the image.

      What do you mean they’re over? I’ve invested billions of dollars in them. I’ve even given up on owning a house just so I can become the next sucessful billionaire investor. Away with your nonsense. Y’all just isn’t as smart as me. 🤓

    Just wait until someone removes the entirety of the database instead of a GitHub branch. Then NFT people will understand how they wasted their fucking money.

      I think the biggest place it has genuine benefit would be for something like deeds to homes, titles for cars and stuff like that. A permanent, auditable and public system for tracking the transfer and ownership of things.

      Unfortunately it comes with its own caveats, such as “what if I lose the wallet containing the deed to my home, and I want to sell it?”

      I never really understood the whole thing about picture based NFTs though.
