NFTs do have value in narrow use cases. For instance Domain names are NFTs and incredibly important to the way humans interact with the internet.
Lmao, have you ever a bought a domain name. Its not an NFT, lmao you don't even own one permanently after buying u. You basically license one from a registrar and that expires after a set interval. There's no NFTs involved.
You're the third person to say the same thing. NFTs conceptually predate the existence of the blockchain and don't need to be on it. Wikipedia or w/e you got your definition that says otherwise are simply wrong. And yes, I own several different domain names.
Not sure you know what the token part of NFT means. Usually it's the non fungible part, so congrats on being uniquely wrong.
