I don't know how people are making these authenticity arguments using NFTs, because your counter-argument is spot on. Having said that, the anti-counterfeiting mechanism for physical goods like Birkin bags is exactly the use case for Vechain.

Because people are desperately investing reasons to justify themselves because:

1) they're gullible and bought into the hype, or

2) they're shady and want to make money off of the gullible.
