Aside from being a form of capital, technological innovation, and financial product, cryptocurrencies are also a kind of content. They have brand identities and aesthetics in the form of their logos; they gather together communities who identify with them by allowing people to hold (or hoard) bits of the brand.

In the coming years, we will see NFTs used to unlock entirely new use cases that are only made possible by crypto.
