Blanket Statements Do Not Help Define NFTs

Too Long; Didn't Read

When you get together with your family and friends, you’ll likely hear some talk about NFTs, but more than likely it will be a regurgitation of something read or seen off the internet. Most people (bloggers and journalists included) don’t have the time or the dedication to dive deep into it or really think deeply about blockchain. The truth is that if you look at most publications including Forbes, Washington Post, and even Time, they don’t get the details of this blooming industry right. Journalists try to act like authorities in a space that they know little about and create blanket statements about entire industries that don’t help people understand what NFTs are really about or the technology behind them. All these publications hope to explain is how something that is mainly a digital certificate could generate so much interest and buzz. To be fair, it’s a hard concept to get right, layered with nuance, changing technology and open to many interpretations.
