It's unfortunate that there's such a powerful knee-jerk prejudice against blockchain technology these days that perfectly good solutions are sitting right there in front of us but can't be used because they have an association with the dreaded scarlet letters "NFT."
I don't like or trust NFT's and honestly, I don't think anybody else should for the most part. I feel the same about a lot of new crypto. But I don't necessarily distrust blockchain because of that. I think it has its own set of problems, in that where the record is kept is important and therefore a target. We already have problems with leaks of PII. Any blockchain database that stores the data to ID people will be a target too.
