Hackers steal NFTs worth millions. In other news, NFTs worth millions. - Lemmy.World

The way I read the article, the “worth millions” is the sum of the ransom demand. The funny part is that the exploit is in the “smart” contract, ya know the thing that the blockchain keeps secure by forbidding any updates or patches?

I do see potential use for them, but not in the way they are currently being used. I could see uses like door keys, tickets, memberships, etc being of practical value, but not stupid little pictures.
