fiatjaf on Nostr: Putting jpegs on the blockchain is a bad idea not because they take a ton of space ...
Putting jpegs on the blockchain is a bad idea not because they take a ton of space and are ugly, but because NFTs or digital collectibles shouldn't be an actual file. They should be an abstraction over an idea that could potentially be represented in multiple ways.
Or at least that makes more sense to me and it is also much nicer in practice.
