Not sure about your definition for long term.

TCP/IP looks pretty solid to me. NFT is basically TCP/IP with memory, why shouldn't that be useful for all sorts of things?

Bitcoin is more like gold, NFTs are more like network based consensus validation of ownership.

Right, but unlike TCP/IP, which is a stateless protocol, the validation of an NFT requires a specific blockchain. While Bitcoin and Ethereum seem to be “here to stay”, they both seem under constant competitive pressure from other blockchains.

Silver and gold live side by side.
