| You're missing the forest through the trees. The technical mechanism of 'Blockchain' might be a novel artifact of the definition of an NFT - but it does not matter. You're talking about the 'type of paper the deed to the house was written on'. We don't care about the 'technology used to make the deed' - we care about the implications, i.e. ownership of what, how, when etc.. An NFT is indirectly implied to be 'ownership' of something, but in reality, it's simply 'ownership of the NFT' itself really. Any legal or popular control over the 'digital content' has nothing to do with NFTs, it's just 'by implication' and has no real social or legal basis. As such, the 'piece of paper' is a decent analogy. "It's a record, that references something; you own the record itself, but it means absolutely nothing beyond that". If you want to think you're cool from owning that, that's cool, or not, or whatever. It's a good analogy. |
