Indeed. All this talk of NFTs, but what blockchain are they on? Don't new blockchains pop up everyday? I mean, my own blockchain (a text file I only append to, but let's not get sidetracked on implementation details) says I own Charlie Bit My Finger. Now what?

> my own blockchain (a spreadsheet

Gave me a good chuckle

If you were to input some sort of contract terms into a cell, snapshot it, upload it to the cloud and only provide view access to the public, you would have a full fledged blockchain platform.

Can't use Google Sheets because that would centralize it, I imagine?

i'll give you $300,000 in bitcoin if you put my name in that spreadsheet next to charlie bit my finger

> NFTs remind me of 'buy a star' companies.

Amazing comparison! They are truly the same.

What if the opportunity arose to purchase the Mona Lisa, but only with the unalterable condition that it remain in the Louvre forever.

Do you think it would sell for a high price?

I think this oversimplifies things. Would you “buy” the Mona Lisa from a random website with the condition that you have no rights to the property? I wouldn’t. If the Mona Lisa was put on sale by the Louvre with the aforementioned clause, I would be intrigued.

Yes.

Sometimes the point is just ownership regardless of usage. Useful as a bragging point or money laundering opportunity.

If you got to put your name on the card at the museum I'm sure it would sell for something ridiculous.

I mean, possibly, if you're the curator of the Louvre.

.. are you the curator of the Louvre?

I assume while we're on the topic that the guarantee has been written into a formal legal document, witnessed by a recognised party, that is enforceable in court, and which guarantees the terms in perpetuity?

I can give my opinion/guess to your question, and I still have no idea how it relates to NFTs.

>You apparently 'bought' a star but anyone can look at it

Next iteration, selling magnitude 20 stars. Not just anyone can look at those.
