Honestly I don’t know. I’m just pointing out the only thing that kind of sort of sounded like a good idea for it I’ve ever heard. For pictures it’s stupid that’s for sure
No, they are right. What they are saying is that even though pretty much all NFTs contain a link to a picture on the blockchain, theoretically you could write a really, really small image in the space where you would normally write the URL. From a quick google, that’s 100 bytes. For a black and white image, that’s 100 pixels. For color, that’s around 30 pixels
What does blockchain solve that existing contracts don’t do? Blockchain has takeover possibility

It’s not a picture though. It’s a link to a picture on a server somewhere. If the host goes down, you own nothing.
The technology behind it can be used for things other than pictures. That’s kind of the point people are making
Right, and my original question was what does the technology solve? And so far the answer appears to be nothing
Isn’t it just a small amount of data? If the picture is small enough you could put it directly on the blockchain.
Dunno why you would though. It’s very limiting for no particular gain.
But in NFTs the picture is not on the Blockchain. Only a link to the picture is on the Blockchain and the picture itself is still just on the web.
