I own the only unique real copy of c6922832e65b60ab8517d7c1c5fd5911. Its scarcity, too, is real.

The remarkable thing about artisanal integers is there's an infinite number of them and yet each one is a beautiful hand-crafted keepsake. http://www.neverendingbooks.org/artisanal-integers

Not sure what you're saying here but if you put c6922832e65b60ab8517d7c1c5fd5911 as a token on the blockchain there will indeed only be one with only one owner (you). The uniqueness is that it was minted by your wallet. There cannot be another entry like that.

NFTs are mostly just that. An ID minted by Wallet X which itself is unique and the social contract gives it a value. That's it.

Thank goodness your use of c6922832e65b60ab8517d7c1c5fd5911 did not impinge on my personal ownership of this valuable number. Plznorightclick.

Alright. I take it you don't want to discuss this seriously.

My number is owned by me. I have signed it and everything. If someone agrees to buy it from me I will use the same public key to sign the transfer. Would you like to buy it? It's a UUID, so it is guaranteed to be unique.

Yes, but how can you guarantee that you're not selling it to multiple people?
