> NFTs aren’t contracts for the rights, so this is as real an NFT as any other. An NFT is essentially a text file, that only one person can prove they own via the blockchain, where the file has a URL written inside. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is the most succinct explanation I have across. Thank you. Now, this amazes me more that people are willing to invest & trade on text files with some URL in a Blockchain. The naive me now thinks this is bonkers. No wonder so many people are critical of its worth.
How does one view list(s) of NFTs?

- j4yav 5y agoI had an idea to make a physical NFT picture frame that would only show things other people own, to contrast with the ones that only show ones you own, but I decided it was too absurd.
- MartinCron 5y agoThere's something subversive about that... a display of things that other people are pretending they have ownership over.
