I'm all for supporting artists to make more art, but how many of these NFT peddlers are actually talented artists trying to make a living and how many are just skilled marketers and shill bidders?
To me NFTs sound self-contradictory, the digital world is inherently fungible and discrete. That's why computers can exist and you and me can be sure the same sequence of bytes gets executed in the same way on different computers.
The only uniqueness here exists in whatever specific public ledger implementation you decide is worthy, and you better hope it will still exist in 20 years, along with the link to the wordpress blog where your jpeg actually exists. Or maybe it's embedded on the actual chain now as they did with those 8 bit spaceship pictures, who knows. Old man yells at cloud, and I'm not even old yet.
