When you "don't get it" in crypto (and startups in general) it's because the person explaining is either incompetent or trying to confuse you so that you can't analyze.

If someone can't explain something simply, walk away and don't give them your money.

The concept of digital ownership really is a complicated topic, even before distributed hash technology people on forums commonly discussed "is (digital) piracy stealing?".

DHT and are new and NFTs are a completely different model of ownership, with it's own model of value.

If you really peice it out you'll find that it's the strongest (but not necessarily useful) form of "digital" ownership that we've got.
