Anyone involved in NFTs for physical objects (other than say, landmarks or some other abstract concept) has missed the point of NFTs. Which is understandable, since that point requires a bit of mental flexibility to grasp in the first place.

Considering the #1 use case widely discussed for NFT's is establishing authenticity+ownership of art both digital and physical, I'd say you seem to have missed the point.

You clearly seem to have a strong opinion about it, but your opinion seems to be entirely against the mainstream NFT conversation.

And please don't insult people by claiming their ignorance is "understandable" because their brains aren't "flexible" enough.

Any reading you can direct me to on people implementing NFTs for authenticity of physical art? I've seen it discussed casually but haven't come across anyone seriously looking at doing it in practice.

The flexibility comment wasn't intended as an insult to people who dislike / don't understand NFTs (or to anyone, maybe just a jab at NFTs themselves).
