I don't have much to say about NFT's, other than to mention I've minted some on Lensy and bought one on NFT Showroom*. But I mainly wanted to commend your essay. A well written and engaging piece.
* - I guess I could elaborate a little. I bought a piece of art that I both liked and hoped that it would appreciate in value. I've often wondered what I would do if its value went 10x, say. I both like the art, and like the potential profit. Which would I choose? I really don't know.
