Especially when you consider that there is a far superior alternative: commissioning unique, original artwork from talented artists. There are tons of artists on the internet that you can pay to make cool art, and unlike the generic and hideous NFT template trash, you can request high quality art based on your own specifications.

For example, you could find an artist on Twitter that has a style you like and commission them to make fanart of some of your favorite fictional characters, or maybe something totally original. You could have a hand in producing something new.

And if you want something more than just a digital image, maybe you could request that they frame the artwork and mail it to you to hang up on your wall.

A truly unique ID for whatever otherwise reproducible images is not mind boggling stupid

I on the other hand, don't know if you can source an original from a copy otherwise

Oh my God, you've actually bought into this crap. These are fucking digital images - they are collections of pixels displayed on a screen. You can use goddadm print screen to make infinite identical copies of any image made publicly available. You're placing value in what is functionally a FUCKING SERIAL NUMBER.

How did you see into the future? Maybe they will be standardized for some reason

You can get stuff with much higher quality and more customization by commissioning an artist for like 1/100th the price

I think the NFT craze was when my last shred of faith in humanity finally burned away.

People are paying huge sums of money and burning through outrageous amounts of energy to exchange really, really shitty JPGs. On no level does this make sense.

No you don't get it. The art is intentionally shitty because they're insulting artists by making absolute dogshit and selling it for thousands of times more than an art commissioner will make in their lifetimes. That's because all art commissioners are weebs, leftists and furries, and the le epic redpilled NFT crowd are based epic memelords.

Sigs are rather pointless, except if it's to showcase animation and images.

You can also do this and make it an NFT if they agree
