The idea of making a validation publicly visible on social media is a good idea (many people had suggested having medical profressional in the last two years). The idea to leverage a blockchain for that could make sense (I’m still to see a good example of that, but) say, to can connect your profile to an account that holds a certain quantity of a certain coin to confirm your commitment.
The issue with that implementation, and NFTs in general, is that you are committing not to an exclusive representation of any digital asset, but to a link to an asset. Representing that is like tatooing a logo: sure, it shows your commitment to Harry-Potter to have the Deathly Hallows thing on your forearm but… Doesn’t prove you’ve written the thing. Or read it. Just like you want people to assume that you have.
Any blockchain can independently mint the same images, or even fork an existing one and re-attribute all key assets to any wallet. The later wouldn’t be available on OpenSea or MetaMask but you can find a chain that would, there’s no current implementation that would detect near replica.
That’s kind of the problem with total decentralisation: you can’t trust anyone, or prevent anyone from doing anything, unless you have strict control of your partners. And connecting that to existing key platforms would assume a new oligarchy.
