unlike tulips though they cause a great deal of environment damage both from energy waste and fast hardware turnover

Just like a few others, I haven't heard of NFT before but, given that some people buy canned farts and bathwater from girls for enormous amounts of money or even pay to have their names written on their arms on camera, I am not surprised to find someone exploring this segment of the economy as well. :-DD

Physical items are different, regardless of how odd they are. Unlike NFTs, they actually exist as something other than a string of bits stored somewhere.

That makes me wonder: do you still buy music & video in physical form? And if so, what do you actually own?
rsjsouza:
I do. I still can't get my head around buying a file with music or movie, but I understand these are dying formats.
As to who owns it, I do own the CD and treat it like anything else in physical form I buy.

Frankly, in general, this is a silly comment. It would be same as saying brand bames and trademarks are just digital bullshit. In case you do not know, look up how much CocaCola brand name cost.
Edit: and by the way, i've never seen anyone claiming "environmental damage" from digital currency operation.
