An NFT is ... a digital receipt that “money” flowed at one moment in time. The referenced digital artwork or something is only referenced by an URI. That is ownership? Seems a very transformed concept to me.

My supermarket gives me an NFT in paper form every-time I buy something.

Except the NFT the supermarket gives you isn't cryptographically verified.
