Comp sci student here, on the technology of NFTs, they allow you to verifiably prove ownership and can't be faked. A good use case for the technology would be to prove property, land or vehicle ownership. You can think of it as a deed that can't be copied. They can be sold or given away and you can track "who" owned it before you. The who here is more like a screen name rather than someone's actual name, unless they volunteer to self identify.

My mother in law bulk buys food on sale. My husband found 20..20 jars of pasta sauce. My father in law doesn't like pasta sauce. But she said it was in sale. So instead of leaving the sauce on the shelves for other people who will use it or donating it, she hoards it.
