Cool! But I reckon this whole NFT thing is just a sham like selling distant stars.

If a historical item bought at auction can be put in a personal collection, then with NFT the situation is rather abstract, well you bought some digital right, it is not copyright or exclusive, that is, now they have entered a digital artifact into the ethereum-platform, but some other platform will be, you can place the same digital asset on other platforms a hundred times more, it's strange...

As if there is nothing strange. Just a PR move for small money. Many people do it. But this is the scale of the world.

I guess we can see it as some kind of modern form of potlatch. It is only money but not resources that are being wasted, which is in line with current trend to save money. I.e. it is some kind of high status consumption, but without significant carbon footprint, unlike yachts, planes and huge jeeps).

In that case, the more different platforms the better - it will be much more sweaty if you start collecting placements of one asset on all the cool platforms)

Yeah, that's probably the case.

 
The internet is already a whole separate digital world, plus you can make nft out of real things too
 

However, it's been a long time since there have been any funny pictures here)
