Overview
Although NFTs have found adoption only recently, the concept itself has a rich history going back over 40 years. In 1980's before WWW, Tim Berners-Lee tried to implement a standard similar to today's NFT's which could later be part of the WWW. He did so again in the 2000s by advocating for the concept of linked data (i.e. the Semantic Web). These efforts were unfortunately not successful due to their sheer technical complexity and non-adoption by the industry. Instead, the biggest beneficiaries of Web2 became today's data monopolies and the surveillance capitalism.
