NFT is somehow like a certificate that gives you ownership of a digital work. Because that certificate is on block-chain you have the rights to that art work forever unless you sell it to another owner. It is like you go and get a signature from an athlete on his image, you own that work. Others can copy that one but the original owner is you. Similarly many people have the print version of Mona Lisa but the actual owner is the museum.

For money laundering -- you don't need to go to Casino for that purpose anymore lol

I just can't wrap my mind around how much people are paying for these digital artworks. Iran Inter Esteghlal good point this is one way to wash dirty money with clean money so it's a godsend for Cartels.

So then NFT has replaced gambling on football games, for Cartels to wash dirty money or drug money with clean money. Best thing that happened to them since Crypto Currency. Does it even matter if I post a comment on this thread, it's not like the O.P will respond. He will respond to everybody else comments, just not mine.
