Before NFTs, my main gig was as a blacksmith jeweller. I made and sold over 3000 hand forged wedding bands mostly out  of titanium, stainless steel, iron, sometimes gold. Physical or digital tokens are equally arbitrary;  intangible value derives mostly from assigned meaning due to the story.

I took a similar lesson from a summer twisting balloon animals. Two cents of rubber could instantly become worth hundreds of dollars with the right story and a little skill.
