    Ownership is literally dependent on institutions… A system of property rights depends on some kind of law being enforced by institutions of authority. These laws and institutions can take many different shapes, from courts and police to custom and social pressure, but they have to be there.

    An NFT only gives you ownership of something to the extent that some institution of power is ready to enforce it.
