      @ActNormalOrElse I love how right click gives you an actual image file to enjoy, something that owning an NFT does not do

        @HamletEJ @ActNormalOrElse Wait is that true?

          @nvasconcelos @ActNormalOrElse Which part? Downloading an image: gives you an image. If you want to look at an image, what more do you want? Owning a blockchain token: gives you a token which contains ... a pointer to an image. Now, if you want the image to look at, you can of course still .... download it

            @HamletEJ @ActNormalOrElse Yeah I guess that’s what I meant. Like what the token entails or whatever. I’ve made a point to learn as little as possible about them

              @nvasconcelos @ActNormalOrElse The best way to understand owning a token is that it gives you verifiable proof that you own a token. Why anyone else should care that you own a particular token is between you and them

                @HamletEJ @nvasconcelos @ActNormalOrElse My new favorite way to describe NFTs: Basically everything digital can be copied/shared/etc. Sharing anything digital is literally giving everyone you share it with a copy of it. One of the few exceptions to this is cryptocurrency. A ton of tech has gone into that.

                  @HamletEJ @nvasconcelos @ActNormalOrElse Just like a ton of effort and tech has gone into making paper money hard to copy. If you think of crypto tokens as the digital equivalent of paper money... NFTs are the digital equivalent of *writing the address of a house* on a $20 bill. Still doesn't make you a homeowner.
