Claims like “it just works” appear to turn the tables on the anti-vax analogy. There is no need to believe the vaccines work, it can be demonstrated. Here, we are required to believe nft-s work. And they don’t. Given the amount of people selling things they don’t own and the amount of nft-s just being a url with a hash on a blockchain, a lot more has to be shown to claim “it just works”. NFTs are a way to digitally sign files (which has existed in mainstream for 20+ years) and then trade these signatures. Which has also been possible since day one. Also, copyrights have been a thing for a while along with transferring rights. So, in addition to “they just work” claim the claim of them being novel would need to be justified.
