    I see no nuance lost in this translation ;). Seems like you’ve peeved some NFT enthusiasts.

    Liquidity position "Silly JPEG"? Domain name "Silly JPEG"? Doesn't work. NFTs don't necessarily have off chain URL-links (Uniswap v3 positions). Most of the interesting uses of NFTs aren't about an image.

    Except NFTs aren't JPEG typically. Its often just a URL-link.

    NFTs are basically a marketplace to trade "ownership" of URL-links. And a lot of people can't seem to tell me what "ownership" really means in this context (aside from I paid X money for it).

    They don't use WebP?
