I can make an pseudo-NFT for about $1.20... print a digital image on a piece of paper, making sure to include the Serial Number of a US Dollar Note in the image. Staple the real US dollar note with that Serial Number to the print of the image.

The paper/dollar object is now not fungible, and is a token. ;-)

I real NFT is the same thing, but with a tiny bit of cryptocurrency instead of the US dollar.

[Edit] - A did it, and made a blog post about it - https://mikewarot.blogspot.com/2022/01/whats-all-this-nft-st...

Non-fungible physical items have existed forever, the whole point of NFTs is (attempting) to do this digitally. The Mona Lisa is not fungible.

None of the normies understand what it is, so I provided an explanatory illustration. It clears up a lot of the mystery.

Why anyone would pay for an NFT of a digital photo is beyond me. It conveys no actual value other that the small chunk of Ethereum, bitcoin, whatever, it is anchored to.
