My understanding of NFTs and blockchain is still poor at this point too TBH, but I intend to teach myself about blockchain basics. I learned that if you want to understand how blockchain works so that you can design one that does what you want, the best way is to design a dummy blockchain with an app called Python. You design a blockchain from the ground up that is basically a knockoff of of Bitcoin, and have your computer mine your quasi cryptocurrency. Once you understand that, you can begin doing away with things like mining to make the blockchain more similar to HIVE, enable smart contracts and NFT creation, and possibly even doing away with cryptocurrency, although I like the idea of a decentralized token that can be used by scientists, inventors, and artists to publish their unique work to the blockchain. From what I understand, an NFT is a decentralized patent, copyright, or other proof of intellectual property, and basically you pay a small amount of crypto to mint the NFT. I, like you, am not into the NFT hype. I actually think most NFTs are worthless, and many are scams actually that people try to sell. I like the idea of intellectual property without the need for a patent lawyer or some other middleman.
