From NFTs to nifties Most people think NFTs are expensive jpegs. But you can now send millions of NFTs for a few bucks rather than buying one NFT for a few million bucks. That means NFTs will be as common as likes or RTs. So we need a term for these free, nontransferable, earned NFTs. Perhaps we call them nifties.

Didn't the term 'nifty' die a long time ago? We either need something better, or just accept that if this is the standard for all non-fungible digital items, they are named for the item they represent. Ex. if a deed for a house becomes an NFT, then we call it a 'deed' Also, likes/RTs are fungible, no?

Yeah. Niftygateway has been around for years, and the name "nifties" pretty much died a long time ago.
