What is NFT? what is Fungible? What is "like cryptocurrencies" Why do I need a lawyer to post code?

What is NFT Art: All you Need to Know - NFTexplained -- Take a moment to read this.  It explains it about as well as anything I've ever found that could.

Let's say you write a program:

Code: (Select All)
PRINT "Hello World by Bplus!"

Now, if you put that program on the web (just like an image), everybody in the world can download it and steal it and share it.   NFT is a means where you'd first register your code, declare "THIS IS THE ORIGINAL", and then you could sell that original with it's certificate of authenticity.  That certificate of NFT proclaims what you have to be the rights to the ORIGINAL, and therefore it holds value to some people.  (Wouldn't an original Model T Ford be more valuable to you than some piece of crap 2020 model exact reproduction?  It's that same concept.)

Now, where does the warning comes in from the page you referenced?

Basically, some random hobo might download a screenshot from your game, or copy your image asset, and then they might try to go and register it and claim, "LOOK, I HAVE AN ORIGINAL HERE!"  Except... they don't.  They just have a copy which was uploaded to some random site out there, just like everyone else in the world.  They never created it, nor do they actually hold rights to it.  If they try to call it a NFT, they're committing fraud, and if you buy it, you're buying worthless junk (think counterfeit money!).

And that's Steve's quick lesson on NFTs.  The link above does a better job explaining it all than I did, however, so if you're truly interested, follow up and read it.  Smile
