Twitter is adding ownership verification for NFT profile pictures.

  > Twitter is adding ownership verification for NFT profile pictures. Then what if someone mints new NFTs based on (say) the same images used for the cryptopunks cartoons? You could get your extremely online bragging rights for an affordable price.

    Except you can't, practically speaking--as the price is baked into the "brand".

      But you’d get twitter verification. Or will twitter only recognize one chain for NFTs? How do you handle someone minting multiple nfts of the same image on different chains?
      • altrum 5y ago
        Twitter, if they build their verification correctly, should determine NFT's sovereignty via the smart contracts, not the chains. Thus, CryptoPunks will only exist on one chain & one smart contract.

          But what stops someone from minting the same jpegs elsewhere? Possible there is some mechanism I’m unaware of

            My thesis on this revolves around the idea of "brands." I wrote about it more in depth here: https://www.robertchung.me/people-dont-understand-nfts https://www.robertchung.me/people-dont-understand-nfts
