I still think NFTs and NFT-like things are silly ideas. Whether they're called "inscriptions", "digital deeds", or "bobs". And the blockchain used to secure them is of no consideration to my argument.

If I ever see compelling utility, I'll be open to changing my mind, and I'll let y'all know.

Somewhere buried deep in the sea of scams and grift is a really neat channel for artists to distribute directly to consumers. I’ve seen some cool art concepts, like Scales by Anna Judd, create neat new ways of engaging with and collecting art pieces.

Of course, price was never a factor with this project, and that’s kind of the point. Most of the content produced in the space is a low-effort, thinly veiled pump and dump *at best*.

Take it from a guy whose PFP is a $300 jpeg of a duck wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette.

Try enforcing your property rights without resorting to the state in exactly the same way you would with a standard copyright mark.

Didn’t say it was any different in terms of enforceability of property rights, but at least you can prove to other collectors that you bought the thing and what its provenance is, which is what matters most to those who care about the art in the first place. Like I said, it does create a cool new distribution channel, but most of the good in the space is drowned out by hot garbage.
