Anything digit is fungible by definition. Just looking at an image in an application will cause the image to be copied around the computer's memory, proving this point. NTFs are, to put it bluntly, nothing more than an extravagant way for rich people to show off how little money matters to them.

I agree that just by looking at an image it'll be copied in the computer's memory but the metadata of the copied one will be slightly different from the one which was created from scratch. And the real valuable NFTs are those which have the latter. So I won't say it's about showing off money but rather the new era of collectibles.

I always assumed that media metadata are editable. Aren't they?
