To briefly be non-flippant, clearly buying an NFT of a physical object does not give you ownership of the object. So if the physical object is destroyed, why would that change the value of the NFT?

The answer is that it wouldn’t. The NFT has the same value before and after the physical object is destroyed, it’s just that the value is zero.

The price may be non-zero for a period of time of course, but that doesn’t change the value.

In any case the argument is pointless because afaik no one has made an NFT of a physical diamond and successfully sold it for an amount of money > 0. The entire debate is nonsense because it simply does not correspond to any physical reality. Sound and fury, signifying nothing.

If your house burns hot enough to destroy a diamond you've got bigger problems than whether you still own the nft of the diamond.

What about NFTs of abstract concepts?

This is like my computer science degree. All the knowledge has been destroyed, but I still own the piece of paper and it’s educational value i.e. the line on my CV.

I can't stand NFTs either those NFTs should just trade their ETH for pixel art, like me
