It seems like the NFT wouldn’t have much blackmail value if created from an image saved locally. It would be the provable association with the social media account that would give it teeth.

Re: NFT the DP
#22This is fairly gross, pretending to be socially concious when if the technical claims were true it would be a horrific potential for abuse (revenge porn etc). NFT's have nothing to do with ownership, if someone puts up your data illegally or even just breaking copyright, get the police / a lawyer involved and they will take it down, luckily NFTs are heavily centralised so it wont be difficult.
I've wondered about this. Is there a reason you can't store a text encoded image on the actual NFT?

> NFT's have nothing to do with ownership,
Exactly! Finally someone said it. I really don't understand these people selling NFTs of a vase or a framed artwork.
If I obtained that vase legally (by payment in USD or BTC or whatever) and it's sitting in my apartment then I own it by default. Someone else can have an NFT for it if that makes them all giddy and happy but at the end of the day it's my vase, it's staying in my residence, and I can do whatever I want with it.
Maybe I should start selling some NFTs for a blue pixel on my screen. Seems like a good cash cow opportunity since it seems that people love to "digitally own" (whatever that means) things that they don't have and that other people actually own.

#25Since I've never sent a DP to anyone, I think this is hilarious, folks sending them out to people are "obviously" proud of what they're displaying, so I'm not seeing what's the problem here. (tongue in cheek, but I still find the outrage hilarious)

The funny part is the image itself isn't even on the blockchain, it's centrally hosted somewhere. The token is just a pointer. You can ruin it by having the actual content taken down, wherever it is.
The Interplanetary File System is a decentralized solution.

True, but my comment that the image isn't on the blockchain is still accurate. IPFS is not a blockchain and content can be changed.

#30NFTs are following the same trend as 2017 ICOs. Bubble is going to pop at some point. The survivors will be the projects with real long-term value.
The survivor will be the NFT that pictures are actually on chain
