But eventually you own the car. You never own the monkey.

Plus you can trust that no one else has your car, whereas you have no way of knowing how may times your monkey was copied or how may exist outside the scope of your โ€œcertificateโ€

"You wouldn't download a car..."

[โ€“] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Thatโ€™s the worst part, where the reality is the opposite.

  • my car has value because it exists as a physical thing that is useful to me. If I could download a car, it doesnโ€™t take away from anyone, just adds value for me
  • the monkey could only have value in exclusivity. It is not a material possession nor is it useful to me, but can only have value if I can prevent anyone else from having it. If I could download someone elseโ€™s monkey, then they lose any value they think it had

Its not about whether you actually own the thing or not, its the record of you owning it.

Without a central body enforcing it its basically pointless, similar to if you don't own the title of the car you don't actually have record of ownership and therefore don't have the rights to go along with that legally. (In theory lol)

The potential advantage of it being on an immutable blockchain means there's a permanent record that isn't tied to a piece of paper, and the distributed nature of most blockchains ensure there isn't a single point of failure. (In theory again)

If you don't have the title to your car, and no one else does either, you can prove ownership by possession. Same with NFT, you prove ownership because you possess the wallet credentials.

So what if someone steals your car, what then?

Edit agree on the NFT point, that is the whole idea right lol
