Unlike domain names, the innovation behind NFTs use a much greater opportunity for digital goods, as they represent a tool to permit the creation and release of digitally native goods by anybody on Earth.
And there is a literal universe of imaginative possibilities for NFTs, as numerous as our minds can picture, rather than the extensive though limited name space of the early Web.
