Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

It's funny how many people think an nft is owning the image, but you don't even have that. You have a link to an image.

It's literally not even that. You don't own that link. There's a notice on a public board that has both the link "This is the property of [yourname]".

NFTs are like those late-night commercials for star naming "registries". They have their own Access database of non-legally-binding names that people have given to stars. You can pay to be on the list and get a paper certificate that no one gives a shit about.

By the way there are (estimates vary) thousands of stars in the observable universe for every grain on earth, just as there are essentially infinite NFTs.
