It will simply be "Collectibles." Time and consumer habits solves this.
Fortnite skins are collectibles, in farmville you harvest collectibles, PokemonGo you're geolocation hunting collectibles, and you don't for a second doubt that's what they are to you. World of Warcraft is an entire ecosystem built on digital collectibles.
The key difference is open systems vs closed systems, and the engines or wrappers that house them. And the way in which they can be traded.
One day on eBay and meta Marketplace you'll sell digital goods or trade second-hand digitals and it's just gonna be normal. You'll buy digitals straight from Popmart's website. When that's the reality, they won't need a label.
I don't even think they really need a label today. They're collectibles. And the new-internet framework enables them to be programmable, public ledger data, and open-system when it makes sense.
Don't overthink it.
When I talk to web2 co's I call them collectibles
(that happen to be digital which offers a whole range of opportunities for the fans and the company)
Because that's exactly what they are.
Utility is a possibility precisely because they're programmable and can basically act as a CRM tool, allowing us to tie-in other programs to an account or collectible itself.

We should stop using the word NFT Every time we use it people start to discredit whatever we are talking about The negative stigma around them still exists especially on other social media platforms Digital collectibles is a better word it’s inclusive to everything onchain
