Public blockchains will be the title registries for everything of value. Ultimately, NFTs will authenticate the world.**
With NFTs, blockchains make the jump from finance into creative applications. Regulators would do well to recognize that blockchains are the next generation of the Internet, and applying financial regulations to NFTs is a category error.
NFTs tokenize all the things. We are going from a world where every protocol has a token, to where every (decentralized) application has a token, to where every valuable digital representation of an object or person has a token.
As with most art and most tokens, most NFTs will have very little value. But a select few NFTs will become focal points for communities who gather to celebrate art, build collections, and explore virtual worlds.
Just as there are those who won’t accept that mere consensus can create digital gold, and those who won’t accept that mere smart contracts can create a decentralized Wall Street, there are those that won’t accept that digitized social contracts will create valuable tokens.
Even “actual-value NFTs” require a social contract with the creator and community to transfer the value from the off-chain contracts onto the chain where the NFT is registered.
