        In most cases the NFT isn’t even a file. It’s a URL to a centralized server. If that server goes down you are now the proud owner of a broken URL

      You don’t even own an NFT. Even if I bought a print of the Mona Lisa, I at least have a physical, tangible thing in my hand. It might be worth fractions of a cent but at least it’s more real than an NFT you might have spent actual dollars on.

      “I own a reciept that says I own the original Mona Lisa but literally anyone else in the world can possess an exact, identical copy of the Mona Lisa for free. I’m an incredible investor!!”

      If I had an exact replica of every brush stroke of the mona lisa, it would be just like owning the original.
