The fact that it doesn't even point to the art piece, but to some JSON is new and funny to me. Someone can literally edit the JSON and steal your precious art, lmao.

Yep, that Twitter really highlights how moronic everything about these "non-fungible tokens" is. Fame Douglas fucked around with this message at 16:07 on Mar 17, 2021 |

You can always "steal" it by downloading the file yourself (the concept of a "digital original" is pretty non-sensical), the argument was that the seller could even invalidate the NFT itself by no longer hosting anything or changing the file to something else.

oops after you were done doing that someone deleted the page pointed to by the NFT of the URL www dot fart pix dot co dot uk and now that NFT points to a 404 URL, and there's no way to prove your copy of it is "real" since all the NFT is is a URL
