    So it’s a matter of being relatively easy to scam people with it?

    That is merely a side-effect of one of the original sins of programmable blockchains - the fact that there is a delegation of responsibility of data management from a database administrator to whoever happens to have control of that data, and the controller can only manage that data according to the underlying code of the NFT.

    This only sounds appealing if you’ve never actually touched a database in your life. There are too many points of failure, and said mistakes are much harder to correct.
