Uh... Kupo?

That would be stupid, no one would use a currency that is harder to use that has zero merit over other currencies for privacy and whose value is 100% derived by a designed, artificial scarcity and said value is only expressed and understood in terms of real currencies.

They could just go full hog and have no way to verify it either in a connected or disconnected way. It also has no physical presence and disappears if you try to measure it's existence.

By being "in" the blockchain they mean its been written into chain itself using the comment feature and the ascii value of the image data. It's like a tattoo, you know, which any respectable currency would have.

Well in the example above if Disney found out people were making money trading NFTs of Disney properties without giving the mouse a cut then their lawyers would be incentivized to try to stop ETH. That would be interesting to watch from the sidelines.

I've been curious if you could congest a crypto network by spamming trillions of minimum deposits to newly generated wallets and bloating the ledger. The answer is yes apparently. It's not effective with bitcoin because the transfer fees are like $20+. You'd bankrupt yourself before you did serious damage.

It's happening to Nano right now though. Nano doesn't use transfer fees so they can be spammed endlessly. This is a $700 million+ market cap coin that's been crippled and some commenters estimate the cost of the current attack at only $10 a day.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/m2hmwj/nano_network_is_slowing_to_a_crawl_after_a/

In Ethereum news, in July they're implementing EIP-1559 which will reduce transfer fees and make mining far less profitable. Miners are pissed at losing the income and are retaliating by creating a mock hostage situation. They're pooling all their hashpower in one place to show that they could theoretically accomplish a 51% attack on Ethereum.

It won't work with Topshots. It's so famous everyone knows where the official cards come from and they won't value copies outside that ecosystem.

In most other cases, yeah, piracy is already happening. The original artists often never consented to have their worked tokenized at all. Simon Stålenhag's entire twitter feed today has been a sad example.
