I don't understand why people view the ability to copy something as a negative with NFTs. Everything can be copied. Even physical objects can be copied. Why does a museum buy a Van Gogh when they can just commission a replica, or easier yet, take a photo and print it on canvas?

A photo of a Van Gogh is not a Van Gogh. But JPEG bytes that SHA-256 to 97db5f2753176670ae8b2d8a2aad44d8bb830aee768629488685f4fc1d7a75f1 will also have a copy hash to the same value. The copy is the original, in a way you can't do with a Van Gogh.

NFT fans try to fix this by making something other than the art itself 'non-fungible', but in the real world it's the art itself that is fungible (and where it's not, such as buying a CD, you don't see people freaking out about how valuable their Taylor Swift RED album #22,724,123 is so special and unique).

Ah, but that only gives you the actual image, not the CSVCHAIN NFT that proves it is your image.

Yeah. Like I said. You now have a copy of the image.

But prove to me that you are the one and only owner of your copy of the image.

That's what the CSV NFT gives you.

I'm not just copying the image, I'm editing the "Owner" table cell 8-)

Oh! You're the CSVCHAIN guy? Well then, your word is gold.

("Gold" is a fungible token used in primitive societies. One ounce of gold is as good as any other. What a strange concept!)
