NFT is a way for content creators to publicly certify “this file is the definitive image/video/music/book/etc” and “who owns it”. Important when copying & editing is trivial, and people care about which instance is definitive.
“and people care about which instance is definitive”
There’s the rub. In the digital age where copying & editing is trivial, few people really care which instance is definitive, and that percentage is going to keep shrinking.
I figure this is just a stopgap measure to try to hold back the inevitable change that the technology is bringing but it’s doomed to fail.
