Twitter brings NFTs to the timeline as hexagon-shaped profile pictures - The Verge

On one hand, NFT profile pictures could be viewed as an incredible technology integration adding real utility for verified digital items. Alternately, it’s an unmissable signal pointing out the people that you should block or mute before they try to sell you some of their blockchain receipts.

The latter one.

Moxie Marlinspike NFT Joke Also Shows A NFT Can Just Break At Any Time

Moxie Marlinspike explained the reasoning behind this troll project in a Twitter thread dated October 13. He wants people to be able to see what you’re buying when you buy an NFT. His NFT joke is a reminder to be cautious. After all, the token’s digital metadata is stored on the blockchain, but the digital image itself is not. The files are stored off-chain by image hosting sites. According to Moxie, this means that anyone who controls the URL host can modify the NFT image at will.

Which means also if that site goes offline (which it will at some point in time) the NFT is effectively rendered useless and non-existent… The owner of the NFT merely owns a verified link to something someone else is hosting.
