TLDR: _Ownership_ (digital or otherwise) is nothing new - and NFT is just the new (currently best) way to record ownership.
I'm sure I'll get flamed on here... but I don't understand all the hatred of NFTs. They are just a new digital record-keeping system for who owns what.
We have TONS of digital (and paper) systems storing information on what is owned, and by whom - this is no different.
For instance, there is entries in a database somewhere that says I own my house, the land it's on, my car, etc. The idea of "ownership" is that we all agree that who is in those database entries has dominion over those items.
NFT is the same thing - except much more secure. It can be used to show ownership of anything (including houses, cars, etc.). The nice part is that it's publicly verifiable and cannot be changed unless the owner allows it, and ownership can be verifiably transferred between two individuals.
Yes - silly people are currently using this sell digital art/assets for stupid amounts of money. But that doesn't mean that the technology itself is worthless. I predict that _everything_ that we own (digital or otherwise) will be recorded through NFT (or its successor) someday... every single thing. There are simply too many advantages.
Now - let's talk about digital assets (which, I think, is what people get mad about). These are NOT new either. Firstly, every single piece of software we buy is a digital asset. Thinking of normal software, the NFT will replace things like "License keys"... you won't need that because the software will simply check the public ledger for whether or not the company has transferred a license of the software to you.
Newer types of digital assets have been around for a long time too. Every time someone buys a new shirt in Fortnite... Epic records that that person owns it and can use it. This could be recorded via NFT instead... and it would have the advantages of being publicly verifiable and _transferable_.
Think of trading cards - like Magic the Gathering... people buy pieces of cardboard with pictures printed on them for hundreds of dollars so that they "own" them. There is no difference between doing that and buying a "digital version" of that same card that is recorded via NFT.
Anyway: I don't get the hate. It's just a digital ledger to record ownership. It has a lot of advantages and will continue to be used in many facets of life going forward.
