Howdy! As many have recently understood or discovered, NFTs usually don't contain the actual art work on sale, but rather just point to it.<p>I've had a bit of a think on what "art work" could actually be stored <i>inside the actual token</i>, and thus "live" on the blockchain, and the obvious answer to me is: thoughts!<p>You can put a thought directly into the token, and mint it as an NFT. Even the biggest thoughts are small enough to be stored directly on the blockchain.<p>Based on this I have launched NFThoughts.com, and minted what I believe to be the first ever thought to be stored on chain as a NFT - https://opensea.io/collection/nfthoughts<p>This is of course only half-serious, but it is also only half-joking, and I'd love to see what discussion ensues on the merits or idiocy of this idea :)
Like the idea, but it doesn’t work: the text stored on the blockchain is also only a reference to the (itself decentrally distributed?) thought. If the last instance of the thought goes away - think civilisational collapse - does the blockchain really still store the thought? And how much will it be worth then?
