I think NFTs will transform the concept of ownership
The current concept of ownership appears to be that if I own something, broadly speaking, that means people generally agree (and the state, and ultimately their monopoly on force, will back up) that I get to say what gets done with it and who gets to make use of it, and that it's not OK for someone else to take it away from me without my consent.
If NFTs are going to change that, I'm not sure I like it.
