Misunderstanding about NFT - are images actually stored on the blockchain?

In his article titled "NFT Misconception: Images Aren't on Blockchains," Erick Hun clarifies a common misunderstanding about NFTs, which is that images linked to these tokens are stored on the blockchain. He highlights that, in reality, the blockchain mainly serves the purpose of holding ownership information of the token itself, not the actual media content like images. Typically, images are hosted on external servers or data storage systems, and the blockchain merely points to where they can be found. This understanding shifts how people think about NFTs and their potential. Furthermore, Hun offers examples and explains why this misconception is so widespread among cryptocurrency and NFT users, as well as its implications on the value and security of these digital assets.
