That would be fraudulent, but that's not what I'm suggesting.

I suppose I could sell a token for Hacker News, I just couldn't claim that the holder of the token gets any kind of special privilege here.

Sounds like an NFT alright.

In that case sure, you could do it, just as you could sell someone a deed to a rock you picked up off the street.

It's even less than that. A deed contains some language to the effect of "the holder of this deed owns the house at such-and-such address", whereas most of these NFTs seem to stop at "the house at such-and-such address".

Is there a way to see the actual language of these NFTs that receive press attention? Do any of them actually claim anything one way or the other?
