NFT: Not just images, but a 'certificate of the digital world'

Many people's first impression of NFTs is:

"It's just a few messy JPGs trading at sky-high prices."

But a more accurate understanding is:

NFT = a 'unique digital certificate' recorded on the blockchain, used to prove that a certain digital asset or right belongs to you.

It can correspond not just to avatars, but also to:

A digital artwork

A concert ticket / qualification for an offline event

A membership card for a private community

Weapons, skins, cards in games

Others can right-click to save your avatar, but cannot copy:

The blockchain record that you are the holder of the NFT

The exclusive rights and benefits that come with the NFT

So, when you see an NFT project, you can ask yourself three questions:

What specific rights does this NFT represent? (Ticket/Identity/Item/Profit sharing…)

Does the project have real products or community support?

If no one takes over tomorrow, will this NFT still be useful to me?

Seeing NFTs as 'digital certificates' rather than 'speculative symbols', you will find that Web3 is far more than just trading images.
