This actually isn't quite true, and like you said it is General Kamen Rider Thoughts so I don't wanna derail too much; but I just wanna point out it's even stupider than that

An NFT isn't the actual thing you're buying, you're buying like... a link to it, sort of? That's the thing you own; a unique URL that's all your own... and that's it. It's a bit like someone saying they'll sell you the Mona Lisa for a billion dollars, so you say yes, but then they just give you a ticket (a ticket that is unique! a ticket different from everyone else's!) to get in the museum and look at it, but you can't do anything with the Mona Lisa at all because it's just a museum ticket you bought. Also said ticket has a chance of exploding at any second and they had to burn a rainforest to make it

It's essentially a big scam and rich people wasting their money on useless shit, but also the machines used to create them require such an insane amount of power that it's actively harmful to the environment and they use the materials used to create graphic cards meaning there's both a shortage in graphic cards at the moment and things that need them like PS5s have had their production slowed. So that's fun!


Anyway yeah Durandal's design is pretty neat
