I really hope I'm missing something very obvious but contra this line from the article "verifiable ownership via blockchain (and not by a central authority)", this seems like yet another case where we will mostly just trust a centralized authority (twitter) to "show the right NFTs belonging to the right owners" on their own pages.
Surely it is still possible to verify ownership, but who's going to do that? Won't people just go "oh hexagon, cool, it's an NFT, seems legit cuz Twitter is legit"?
I don't mean anything particular for or against Twitter or NFTs here, this just seems like a completely uninteresting use of blockchain.
