In short: Right now NFT's are built on an absolute house of cards constructed by the people selling them. It is likely that _every_ NFT sold so far will be broken within a decade. Will that make them worthless? Hard to say

5 days & counting that the @IPFS files for @RAC @3LAU @ozuna @Grimezsz @troubleandrew NFTs fail to load. New examples below from the @niftygateway marketplace. Spoiler alert, none of the new examples loaded fully on IPFS / Cloudflare. Not even the 2 NFTs created 1 & 2 days ago. https://t.co/Pz3lekyAKE

@this_are_is I was working on a site using Ruby on Rails + ImageMagick to allow multiusers to upload images that generate the same effect. It was possible for users to do the same cloning effects but it generated outrageously large .gif file sizes.
