However unlike domain, the technology behind NFTs use a much greater opportunity for digital products, as they represent a tool to permit the development and implementation of digitally native goods by anybody on Earth.

And there is a literal universe of innovative possibilities for NFTs, as many as our minds can envision, as opposed to the expansive though finite name space of the early Web.

Many financiers are familiar with antiques such as art work, fine red wine, trading cards, and even classic cars and trucks.
