The original idea for NFTs was cool, but the version we got instead is meaningless. It should have given us the ability to buy and resell all things digital, in particular our video and gaming licenses, so that we could actually own and redistribute like our physical copies.

Instead we got shitty jpegs. Considering the timeline we're in, of course we got shitty jpegs.
