However, upon closer examination, one can sense that there are good reasons to believe this NFTs can play an increasingly important role In our digital society, it is not necessarily (or not only) associated with collecting, art, and speculation. Some recent events confirm this thesis: as reported The Blockchain Observatory & Distributed Ledger of the Milan Polytechnic Institute, the nft trading market recently launched by Reddit has already gained more users than OpenSea (the leading nft trading platform); At the same time, Facebook and Instagram are both working on integrating NFTsWhile Apple is enabling the sale of NFT-related digital content within its App Store.

The important thing is to stop associating nfts only with CryptoPunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club and consider them for what they are: Digital property certificates. Which can also replace traditional processes, and automate some very important processes.

If it is in nft format, then sending this document in the original format will not be possible, because Its movement will be recorded by the blockchain Thus – depending on the programming method – it would have invalidated the transaction.
At the same time – and back to the art world – nfts can also be used Register physical business sale, thus automatically saving on the blockchain every transaction related to a particular business.

For example, why might the author of the work allow this Automatically receive a percentage of each transactionsolved one of the biggest problems of emerging artists, who in many cases watched helplessly as their work was exchanged at increasing prices without receiving anything.
Forget about speculative bubbles and crazy CryptoPunk prices. from a certain point of view, It is necessary to forget about NFTs. When this technology matures, we’ll take note of it for one reason above all: We’ll never talk about it again. Just as we don’t talk about testimonies of notaries.
