      You're buying the (completely unofficial) concept of owning a specific Olive Garden, in the form of a line of code on a ledger.

        This is why people go crazy over NFTs. It is just so insanely dumb but how can it be if people pay money for them.

      you own a receipt of you purchasing the receipt, that is then stored on the blockchain

      if that sounds completely unhinged, then you've understood it perfectly

      You buy the right to be left holding the bag. There's nothing in the bag but it has a picture of a US chain restaurant on it.

      you are buying the fever dream that you will totally own an actual olive garden when the people behind this buy out the company behind the restaurant chain

      im not kidding

      Stage 7: Use project funds to complete leveraged buyout of Darden Restaurants, Olive Garden’s parent company. Upon successful completion, all NFOG franchise owners will now own real Olive Garden franchises.

        ahh yes, after doing that they'll definitely make good on their promise to give you an olive garden that you definitely, totally own, we pinky swear.

          “We‘re not gonna sell you ownership of this photograph at this point in time but in a few years we‘ll totally hand you ownership of a fucking restaurant despite having no legal obligation to do so just trust us on this one.“
