    I've been trying to get my head around this too. Nice post here that starts to explain it for me:

    As I start to understand it, an unbreakable link to the truth of ownership aligns with the idea that a digital file becomes more valuable as its viewership increases. So the opposite of traditional value (especially in art) which lives in the idea of scarcity or uniqueness. Am I getting it?

    My initial impression had been that it felt like another digital plaything, a token for speculation for those with more money than sense (or taste). This wasn't disabused by reading Coinbase's take on the matter, which ends with a bit on how speculation is "a critical function of a healthy economic system". Or the (putting it kindly) mixed quality of the art being exchanged via NFT.
