Does anyone remember that super rusted, broken down carcass of a car that got bid up to extraordinary amounts by auto enthusiasts (including Jay Leno)? Everyone was saying that as a vehicle it's worthless, and that you're pretty much paying for the VIN. That's what NFTs seem like.

except even in that ridiculous scenario, you still actually get the car. you can physically own it, and nobody else owns it, and it is the only copy of the object. Makes me think that NFTs are even more crazy, because images are incredibly easy to make perfect copies of.
IMHO, it's not the same at all.

A valid VIN allows you to buy buy all new sheet metal, drive line, interior and still register it as the original year and make.

How does an NTF allow you to recreate the art?
