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 …

Since the person at the door who either lets you in or doesn't is authoritative, there is no point in a blockchain. Whoever controls the door controls the right of passage, and therefore they can just _pick_ the data they want to trust. It need not be blockchain.

Yeah, on that point, another cool thing about a trusted party w/ a ledger is they don’t have to dole out the whole thing to everyone, blockchain style—just transactions the client has participated. I.e., solves privacy. The ledger is an sql database behind a web api or whatever.

Not quite. These days the tickets are scanned for validity. In this case, so long as block chain continues to exist, it could be a way to cut out Ticketmaster and other centralized distributors. You don’t need two central authorities (Ticketmaster and the venue) — only the venue.

Yes quite? Who cares if the tickets are scanned? My point is that the person who controls the door (or employs the person who controls the door) chooses what to do with the information that gets scanned. They can choose to use whatever they want.
