Not exactly.
Now I agree that NFT's are kinda stupid but you missed a big point in there.
When you copy a jpeg from a google drive you have a copy of it but you do not own the rights to that work.
NFT's, once purchased, not only give you a copy of the artwork or whatever it is, you also gain the property rights to said work. That is a big difference.
Case in point. Tom MacDonald purchased an NFT from Eminem containing an original beat by Eminem. MacDonald was then able to produce an original song using the beat from Eminem but cannot be sued because MacDonald owns the rights to that beat. In addition he was able to say the song was produced by Eminem, because it was, there by adding value to the work.
That is a pretty big distinction from copying a jpeg from a google drive.
Could this eventually be tied to truth social?
Yes it could and I would assume it will to some degree or another. Is this Melania doing charity or are the Trumps staking their claim in the digital economy. I think it is probably both, but we'll see how things shake out.
Similar to buying a genuine baseball card or a mint condition comic book, but in digital form. The upside to this is it will always be in mint condition but the downside to this is it's intangible.
You are the sole owner of said baseball card/comic book and any copies of them out there will be considered "counterfeit".
Yes, except you own all the rights to said comic book and you can choose to publish it, change it, anything you might wish to do because you are the owner of that work.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thank you for useful explanation with an example for the retards of GA.W =P
One thing the internet has been really good at is making people forget about the idea of ownership and property rights. Seems they get it when it is their land or their house, but when it is an mp3 there is no such thing as ownership and it should just be free... Well agree or disagree, someone spent a bunch of money making that mp3. Arguably the user should compensate the owner for its use. NFT's do bring a new dimension to this argument and it will be interesting to see where it goes...
