NFT is just digital art fraud. Fine Art is often used to transport millions of dollars across borders. NFTs are `probably` used in a similar way.

We make a deal via some marketplace. Doesn't matter. We agree on a price and an amount, and some other specifics.

In a different marketplace, you offer up a jpg of a monkey. I offer thousands of dollars to own it.

In the real world, you ship me a big box full of dope, and email me a hyperlink to a jpg. I send you bitcoin, and all of a sudden, we're both legitimate actors in this little NFT art biz.
