Oh sweet an official Olympics digital pin that I can pay real money for and no one else can just view for free whenever they want! Oh wait... Here's one someone paid $200 for.

You wouldn’t download an NFT.
Too late. I downloaded this one. Take me to NFT jail.
I remember when NFTs first appeared. I misunderstood their purpose thinking they were a clever way to transfer intellectual property rights for something. Only to later learn that it's basically poop, completely worthless.
I think it's a cool idea with awful implementations. Rather than turning the idea into a solution for something existing, everyone and their mother decided to create a fake problem instead.
And thus the problem with every make company and AI right now.
NFTs are a clever way to transfer intellectual property rights for something.
It's just that the something is worthless... And IP is imaginary.
I like how it's a digital picture of a physical pin, so it still has the bits in the back as if anyone can just put it on their lapel or backpack.
Yeah I can't help think the design and calling it a pin is all just a trick to scan people who don't know what an NFT is.
I would love to have a metal physical one
Best I can do is $200 for a link to the gif.
Wow that actually looks really cool. Now, how much do I owe you?
That'll be $200
