Well, in the Twitter example you provided, that's what it was, which is proundly stupid since the Tweet is still publicly available. NFTs are supposed to be the only digital print of a work, however--like if van Gogh only ever made one digital print of The Starry Night. As with any art, value is prescribed by the buyer/market. The NFT market could've launched skyward, but obviously it crashed after the initial hype wore off. Probably not completely dead, though, as I think there will always be a market for a "one-off" work made by people considered significant enough.

Except it supposed to be the receipt that you bought that digital print. Not the print itself.
