In reply to the discussion: Trump's digital trading cards -- I don't get it [View all]Ocelot II
(115,268 posts)3. You are not part of the target market.
The way digital trading cards work is that they are NFTs, "non-fungible tokens." They have a unique digital identifier that is recorded somewhere and can't be copied, which certifies ownership and authenticity. But you can resell them, which is supposedly what gives them value. So when you buy one of TFG's trading cards, you will be able to download it to your computer or phone, and there's some sort of tag on it that makes it impossible to copy. Now you can show it to all your friends from your phone. Or you can sell it, since of course it will be worth even more than you paid for it, right?
I don't get it either....
