    I actually thought NFTs get at least somehow watermarked with the buyer’s crypto wallet address inserted into the image, or that the address of purchase on the blockchain is needed to then unlock the final goods… but apparently not even that…

      NFT is a non-fungible token, commonly resented as an ERC-721. So it doesn’t intrinsically have anything to-do with images. For example, identifying names like domain names can be represented as an NFT. Or use can use it to authenticate to a service, such as email

    The whole idea of the NFT business is flaunting that you have enough money to buy nonsense, so why would you even bother if someone gets for free what you’ve paid for voluntarily without really needing it anyways
