Well for one, NFTs on art create a unique money laundering strategy. Drug dealer buys an art NFT for $1k (using legit money), sells the NFT plus a bag of drugs to someone for $10k. They just made $9k in "artwork" profit, which is

I think the immediate value of NFTs lies in industries where you need to keep the producer honest to protect against artificial scarcity. For example, what stops baseball card printers from re-printing "rare" cards? And how do we
