While this is (in most cases) true, you still own, say, a poster you bought of some artwork. The NFT is a sort of "poster" you own. You still own it, so I don't understand your criticism.
- AlexandrB 5y agoOwning and NFT is more like owning a sign that says there's a poster on the wall in the next room that's yours. For many NFTs the poster may be removed at any time by a third party you have no influence over. All you own is the sign.

Even if this is true, okay: you still own a sign that says there's a poster on the wall in the next room that's yours. People own all kinds of things that I personally think are dumb: from beanie babies to baseball cards. If we have a problem with abstraction, people trade all kinds of abstract things: from options to futures to a veritable zoo of other derivatives. Again, not sure what the direct criticism here is.
- threeseed 5y agoThe difference is that people need your permission to make a copy of that poster. I can take your NFT image, duplicate it and use it however I want. And you have no legal or moral right to say no.
- dvt 5y ago> people need your permission to make a copy of that poster. No they don't, I can literally walk in my friend's living room and take a picture of his poster. I can do that in the store, too, by the way. The "I can copy-paste it" is just a terrible and bad-faith argument.
