I once saw someone saying (I think on boingboing) that the original concept was pretty cool: fundraising for a specific project but with public receipts, so someone's claim to have funded the X project that went on to be a complete banger could be verified. With I suppose commemorative icons or whatever. But blockchain is terrible and then the grifters started hyping it.

...that's definitely not the original concept, though, because "fundraising with public receipts" websites have been around for more than a decade. Anyone can look at which campaigns a Kickstarter account has backed.

Heck, a site like Twitter could do "connect to your Kickstarter account and offer special avatar options based on the campaigns you've backed" just as easily as "connect to your blockchain account and offer special avatar options based on the tokens you've bought."

(The concept that was being pitched back when I first heard of them was "what if you could own the unique and irreplaceable original of a digital file?" Which would be a genuinely new and cool idea, nobody's done that before...except, oops, nobody's doing it now, either, because that's not what NFTs are.)
