[@tithund]

@@friedbaconsizzles Nah man, nfts can't even contain any real amount of data, it's just a link to some file online, and then you just gotta pray that that stays online for as long as you own that nft. A real life comparison would be someone having a painting in a secret location, selling you viewing rights to go see it in that location, but themselves retaining the power to just move the painting at any time.
