For anyone who doesn't know what NFT's are: It's more or less like very, very complicated trading cards, except it's bitcoin. Say you want the Mona Lisa. Well you don't actually buy the Mona Lisa, you buy a picture someone took of the Mona Lisa with a unique signature on it for lods of emone, and ideally, that picture because it has a certain signature on it, or the rarity of that signature, will only go up in price so you can sell it back for a profit. It's a lot like TF2 hats.
Another primary use for it is digital artists to digitally sign their work. That means the original digital file can be seen/treated in the same way a physical original art piece is.
Kind of, except the artist still holds on to the copyright. The owner of the NFT just owns the painting. Everyone else just owns a poster of it.
