“The Evolution of Ownership”

Non Fungible Tokens represent a new solution to a very old problem, the desire to possess the intangible, and in particular to own unique and rare digital assets. Ownership itself is a fluid concept, however, and the new wave of NFT markets presents opportunities to own assets in subtly different ways than before. What do you own when you purchase a $69 million dollar jpeg tacked loosely to a cryptographic token? This talk will discuss questions of the evolution of ideas of ownership at the ever-changing digital margin.
