>Blockchain is great as a secondhand market for things like art as it allows the buyer and seller to both know that they have the original and it allows for a digital art Does it? Someone with a blockchain registered Rembrandt has a forged copy produced and passes on the forged copy to you along with the registration, then years later sells the original in another deal through another entity and has the original verified forensically. This doesn't do shit.

If you are buying a Rembrandt you are also going to get a forensic verification. That's an edge case. No one is talking about a perfect solution, you have fake paintings being sold today. This reduces the risk for fraud and helps propel a digital art industry. And thats just for the art world. It's fine if you don't believe it to happen, I do and so I am acting accordingly.
