IMO NFT are a path to the commoditisation of belief and the communities which spring up around shared beliefs. Imagine if QAnon were to launch their own, with the proof of patriotism baked in to your online in or if some religion reinvented the indulgence. These would probably be done on their own coinbase.

I haven't even mentioned intangible secessionist states setting up auto-resolving contracts systems and laws, taxation, etc.
