> what's considered "an original", and I think that's what's happening with NFTs today

An original what? Remove everything off-chain from the conversation. All you have left is a small amount text (which itself is *information* !!) in a distributed database. Thats no more original than the particular instance of bootloader code in my desktop computer.

I agree with you. Removing anything off-chain from the conversation, we're left with the equivalent of selling a million pixels on a web page (but at least there was some utility to that, in the form of advertising).
