The funny part is the image itself isn't even on the blockchain, it's centrally hosted somewhere. The token is just a pointer. You can ruin it by having the actual content taken down, wherever it is.

  True, but my comment that the image isn't on the blockchain is still accurate. IPFS is not a blockchain and content can be changed.

    Doesn't IPFS use content-addressing? In other words, the url of a file is the hash, so the contents can't be changed.
