    Conceptually NFTs could be useful.

    The use case of “buy funny pictures” was the stupidest grift yet

      Been paying attention and haven’t seen a single use case for them that isn’t covered better by other less wasteful and more standard technology

      Only if you stretch the definition to the point where you’re calling someone’s Steam inventory a set of NFTs - yeah, it’s a digital record of unique(ish) games & items, but the “on the blockchain” part was the whole thing that defined NFTs. Every single supposed use case I saw for them relied on pretending that a legal problem (licensing, mostly) was a technical limitation.
