Call me old fashioned, grumpy or whatever you like, buuuut…
I still prefer to support artists by paying normal money, on a normal website (like Bandcamp) and get the goods I paid for in a normal, DRM-free format (say FLACs) and a good ole email-receipt confirming that I indeed made that purchase.
Not as fancy or full of “fungible” tech, but it works and contains a whole lot less indirection, and gets you what you paid for faster.
And then you can have fun with your new purchase faster too. 😉
Speaking of "certificates of authenticity"... How about using NFTs as access control for SSH?
