You can think of NFTs as the digital equivalent of stadium naming: T-Mobile Park is not owned or even used by T-Mobile. But they paid for everyone to see their name attached to it. That's all NFTs do, which is not much, but it is not actually a new concept.https://twitter.com/fiddlemath/status/1442576159548399616 …
This is sort of where I feel like there is a disconnect between me and CryptoPeople(TM). I, like you guys, am thinking about what the technology literally does. They seem to be thinking about all the things that someone could build on top...

... but the problem is, the "thing you build on top" often did not actually need the crypto part, and the crypto part doesn't actually offer anything! So it's like, yeah, you could build FortNite's DLC on top of NFTs. And it would be... exactly the same as if you just didn't.

It's sort of like saying, "look, GOLD!" And I'm like "OK, it's a metal." And they're like, "But now we can have capitalism!" And I'm like, "Actually no, if you built capitalism, you can just not bother with the gold - the gold is just an arbitrary thing on the bottom."
