I just had a thought: What the hell is stopping anyone else from selling an NFT of the exact same “thing” someone else “bought”? The answer = <b>nothing.</b> <br><br>This whole stupid concept is completely unregulated, so it’s completely fair game for any other shmuck to sell “identical” NTF’s of literally anything, since literal nothing is what’s being sold in the first place.,(reply>), @Angry Mokyuu i interpreted the OPs message as what is stopping you from making your own NFT set that is just a copy paste of an existing one and selling it as a scam for example. Why can't you just download rhe entire crypto punks collection and make a new crypto punks 2 and sell it? They will be registered on the blockchain , same image but different contracts...,(reply>), @Angry Mokyuu Wouldn't trying to make it a solution for a deed or claim be, well, a problem that's already been sovled prior? It already runs into similar issues with things like claims or deeds unless you involve some sort of organization devoted solely to keeping such things organized, at which point you may as well just go for the physical thing, as it'll be cheaper to work with.,(reply>), ​@Jey Tee The only useful application I can think of for NFTs would be as a saleable deed or claim to something tangible. But as for why it was figured out, the Etherium blockchain that's invariably used was created to be flexible, making NFTs inevitable(their nonsensical popularity is probably down to the same reason for a similar rush to through money at any business claiming it was using "blockchain technology" a few years back).,(reply>), @Angry Mokyuu so then what’s actually the point of the tech? Even if you can find an origin point source, is anyone really gonna care? I HIGHLY doubt NTF’s are ever gonna be used for a legitimately useful application, so what good does it do us to figure it out anyway? In fact how <b>can</b> any of this nonsense be used practically???,(reply>), Actually, resolving this is the entire point of blockchain technology: if we know X created Y, then we can find out if Z is hawking the real deal by following the transactions in the blockchain. If Z's offering doesn't trace back to X, it's not Y. But the majority of NFTs are completely worthless regardless because all they offer is the right to say "This is my NFT! It belongs to me!" instead of any actual claim to anything.
