Here's how it works: Essentially, the stained glass sculpture now in Reno City Plaza would be the basis for creating unique digital art collectibles backed by blockchain technology, which would ensure that the original files remain unique and valuable, in the same way that the Mona Lisa retains its value even though there are millions of posters of the Mona Lisa floating around out there. For that entire explanation, we basically copied and pasted each of those phrases from writeups by people who actually understand NFTs. We don't know how any of this works, we don't know why any of these things would be valuable, and we're fairly certain that "understanding how NFTs work" is the new "understanding how to save things as a PDF" or "knowing how to turn off the cat filter on Zoom" — you either grasp it or you don't, and for the first time we're on the wrong side of the line, generationally speaking. We'll have to do our best to fake it.
