NFTs can be used in a meaningful way, but no one seems to be doing it. The technology is sound, but the execution is trash so far.

If it can be defeated by right click -> save as, you do not own it.

You have more ownership of software with DRM.

But go on about your hideous ape avitar.

Such as?

One thing that I never see anyone doing is making NFTs actual items in a game. Imagine if a pokemon was an nft or that rare longsword that dropped was an nft. That would make an NFT more like a physical object in the sense that "I own this and only I can use it."

How does that improve on asset servers that gaming companies already operate? You don't need an NFT to link an account to an asset.
