It’s a novel tech so it’s not like Birkins was sitting on an opportunity for years. As much as I’m all for the artist, dilution is very interesting in the context of how fresh NFTs are for all of us. Thinking about adverse possession too.

The dream of decentralisation and Web 3 is a fantasy. Who wants to use a tokenised version of the internet which facilitates IP infringements.

There’s no way Hermès wins this.
An NFT is just the token on the blockchain. It isn’t the image or digital asset tied to the token.
