The term “NFT” has become rather unpopular recently Alternatives circulating: digital collectibles, assets etc. When it comes to art, I started to like “digital art” after recent conversations. Once tokenization is ubiquitous, all digital art will be wrapped as NFTs. Digital art pre-NFT will be the new daguer

I'm okay with that. “NFTs” need a rebranding anyways if they are to gain mainstream appeal. As the use cases fragment more and more I except the term will fade into the background.

Every digital item that's an NFT shouldn't be branded as an NFT - I think "avatars", "digital collectibles", "digital art", "in-game items" should all be just that, even if they use NFTs as an underlying technology. We need to get comfortable going back to old terms and not referencing the underlying technology

Reddit called them Avatars and used it as a trojan horse to get people to buy NFTs

Totally agree. I like the term “ownable”. I think longer term we’ll need to remove the “digital” prefix as NFTs get normalized and standard

I’ve gone down a looooot of nerdy rabbit holes on linguistic treadmills and I think they’re a normal part of crossing a “chasm”. Each new term is a chance for new groups to join. Crypto -> NFT -> web3 is already a treadmill and we’re due for the next step

I think getting away from the tech and focusing on the use case is the way. Nft is the tech, digital collectibles being the use case.

But NFT is not only collectible or art. I think that the term collectible is directly associated with the reason NFTs became unpopular
