I UPDATED MY WEBSITE WITH AN ARTICLE ABOUT NEW TECHNOLOGY. FEAST YOUR EYES AND BE CONFUSED LIKE I WAS. YOU CAN IGNORE THE ANIME HANGOVER BUT IT HAS A PRETTY FUNNY IMAGE. ALSO HOW DO I TURN OFF CAPS LOCK.

After reading both your article and the Wikipedia article, I agree that NFTs are quite silly, and that buying one is, essentially, paying for nothing. (The example you provided with the Mona Lisa is a very good one.) It reminds me of the absurd amounts of real-world money that people pay for useless, purely cosmetic virtual hats in Team Fortress 2, which I have never understood.
The main issue I have with the article is your frequent use of the word "unregulated" in a negative sense. On the contrary, it's better that something should stay gloriously unregulated, and the fact that NFTs are (mostly) unregulated is, so far, the only good thing I can see in them. In one paragraph you speak positively of an "open and free Internet", and keeping away regulations is important for maintaining that.
I would also urge you to have more faith in bitcoin, as well as cryptocurrencies in general: they're a very quick, easy, and anonymous way to pay, and they were even better some years ago before they were burdened with all these unnecessary regulations. Let there be freedom!
I'm glad I fulfilled my purpose of making you feel old
