and of course, there's nothing stopping you from making your own ledger with exactly the same information and selling the "distinct" ownership that your ledger records

Having your own ledger does not come with proof from the creator's address that it was minted on that new ledger. Surely you understand this.

The knowledge that the person who minted the initial token actually is the same as the person who drew the artwork is a reputation problem that cannot be solved inside the "trustless" chain of provenance itself

Actually it can. There are what are called zk-rollups and new identity mechanisms which enable you to store such verifications while maintaining anonymity. The creator themselves can confirm their work in many various ways.

Lol you can store the "verification" but you can't store the actual knowledge that the person doing the verifying wasn't also lying There is no purely online way you can prove facts about the offline world Come on dude this is basic shit

This is the old joke about how someone owns a clearly fake collectible yelling "But it can't be fake! It came with a signed certificate of authenticity!"

For an awful lot of the things in question, I don’t really see what prevents multiple people making multiple tokens for them and all claiming theirs is the “real” ones. With physical art, someone has possession.

the argument seems to be "well it would only have value if its the first version tokenized by the actual artist" which is obviously not true in practice, and again even if it were its completely meaningless

I keep thinking of Steam badges that I occasionally earn while playing video games on Steam and how I completely don't care about them and I don't know anyone who does, although I suppose some people do.

I was talking to someone about them, and how the problem was that although I can trade/buy/sell them, I can't figure out anything else to do with them. But people are treating this as Super Different.

It's because instead of being stored on Steam's servers so they'll disappear if Valve ever goes out of business they're on *the blockchain*, which is eternal
