The point of this joke site is to say "look NFTs are just a set of records", while missing the whole point of
trustless, censorship resistant, append only, peer to peer ledgers
The thing is, we saw these jokes about Bitcoin 10+ years ago. Its easy to point fun at things that one doesn't really understand. I imagine lots of people see this joke and go "Ha! See! You dont need a blockchain" while missing the point entirely.
This is a key point of discussion. You and OP probably have very different definitions of value; you can be 100% right from your perspective and 100% wrong from theirs. And if that's the case, you need to unify your definitions of value before you can discuss the merits of anything built on top of that definition. Or just agree to disagree.
Frankly I find it hard to do, when depending on who you’re talking to, the intended utility is not even definitive (e.g. a currency vs a “store of value”). Maybe this points at something larger.
The site certainly helps make the case for a blockchain.
"Send an email to kick off this manual process with lots of waiting for another human to do a thing, and once he has your money, he may or may not do what he said he would, and if he does, hope he types in your information correctly, and if he does, hope that the one copy of the ledger hosted on some guy's computer doesn't go down, and if it doesn't, hope you don't have to sell because the marketplace is charging 10% rent on transactions and you have no alternatives..."
