Ever heard of a thing called counterfeit? Now combine blockchain with your favorite collectible, and you have a trustable, secure way to prove ownership of an original.

Sure, you can transfer ownership on the blockchain and still sell the physical counterfeit. But what is your "stolen" piece of art now worth without the private key to it? Probably much less, combined with a much smaller and illegal market.

Now take that concept and imagine some tamper-proof or difficult to tamper with hardware inside certain items like expensive designer clothes or bags or watches or whatnot, and you can probably make that possibility even harder.

It's a real world use case, and digital art should be self-explanatory I assume (although NFTs have a lot of problems (though probably solvable ones) to figure out..)
