The reason why NFT artwork is worth millions isn't just for a speculative market so another chump will buy it from you at a higher price, but it also has another value. Like all artwork it is used for tax avoidance. The high price of NFTs allows a wealthy elite to squirrel away millions to accrue value without being taxed. They are more handy than a real piece of artwork or some expensive property in London because a digital image isn't vulnerable to physical damage or maintenance costs. It's obvious why this shit is exploding.

    Been a while since I explored NFTs, are they centrally managed or do they go in your digital wallet? Like with bitcoin before, has anyone lost their NFT to a forgotten password or harddrive crash yet?

      There was an idiot posting a meltdown on Twitter like a week ago about how he gave someone his password and they stole 3 of his NFTs.

      He then started talking about how he was gonna keep using the jpegs anyway, not realizing he was showing how worthless NFTs actually are lol
