In addition to some updates about the Noname Nerd NFT projects (especially the Digidenizens!), I talk about why the criticism that you simply right click and make copies of NFTs invalidates the value of NFTs. As I discuss, there are lots of very famous and very collectible items from famous art to basketball shoes that is either a functional copy of the real one because it has been restored or available as a copy (e.g. knockoff) that doesn't prevent people from wanting to get the real copy. In fact, NFTs are part of a long-standing desire among human beings to be able to trace where the item that they own came from. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nonamenerd/message
