Pointers you say? I think there's room in the market for a pointer to a pointer, (C programming is fun!), I think this could be called, ah, NFT(squared). They had those CDO(squared) financial instruments in the runup to the 2008 economic subprime collapse. Also, how about a synthetic NFT market?

If you're interested, I'll sell you a handle. A handle is a reference or pointer to a pointer. It was Locked, and now Unlocked and now Released. You can still buy it but don't try to use it, it will probably SegFault

There are NFTs which have smart contracts with a kickback to the creator when they are resold. Wrap those in another smart contract and trade the wrapped owner NFT instead to avoid the transfer fee.

Why stop at a pointer to a pointer? We can make an array of pointers too, so we can aggregate the value of multiple NFOVs in a basket (of breadsticks, if you will). In theory we can aggregate an infinite number of NFOvs in a single basket (like an unlimited basket of breadsticks). After all, the only thing safer than not-owning an Olive Garden would be not-owning fractions of multiple Olive Gardens - diversification is the root of wise investments. Moving all of these NFOVs around is productive economic activity of course - we're engaging in the noblest of endeavors: providing liquidity to markets. We're heroes!

  yep doing this in our app. You'll soon be able to subscribe to bundles of NFTs. Though not to be a better an investment - just for fun, like buying packs of magic cards.

you could certainly have an NFT made up of other NFTs. For example an avatar where the individual traits (hair,clothes, expression, accessories) are all NFTs, so potentially you have artist A making the traits and artist B putting them together. You ultimately could do this with all sorts of more interesting objects
