Blockchains can absolutely store a jpeg. There’s no data size or format limit on an entry.

They chose not to store it.

Oh, fascinating! I wonder if it's more concerns about the size of the blockchain itself then. I had assumed, clearly incorrectly, that it was a platform limitation itself. This makes the ways NFTs have been implemented even dumber. 🙃

  It’s just impractical and expensive to store more than a Textstring in a Blockchain, because everytime the Blockchain is updated with new data, you have to send a copy to all the other databases that share this Blockchain. This will get very resource heavy I’d you get 100000 10MB files each day and must keep them in sync with 200 other databases, who also received a similar amount of data from different users.

  … No. Think about it for more than a second before assuming it was done in a stupid way. If you have to update with an image each time it’s updated you’re going to run out of storage everywhere and overload networks.
