    Yeah OP seems to imply there’s some kind of cyptographic security with NFTs. Nope! It’s literally just a URL on the blockchain pointing to a regular image on a regular server.

      Let me preface this by saying I don’t see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don’t, obviously, but it is possible.

        For like thousands of dollars you could store a small sized image on the blockchain itself. Of course that’s not practical
