It’s not for anyone with a shred of sense. Lighting aside, anyone still being conned by the NFT image market is unfortunately probably willfully ignorant, impossibly stubborn, and unable to learn from their mistakes or the mistakes of others. There are plenty of working ways to tokenize images for an actual purpose, blockchain verification is worthless for individual images and literally always was.
Take less than five minutes out of your day to compare the impact of a rolex watch with the impact of a blockchain interaction. It sounds like you don’t understand how wildly different those two things are, either physically (one does not exist, the other does) or in an environmental context (one uses grid power with every verification, one is mechanical). “Buying status symbols for fun” would make a good album title for a boy band a decade ago.
I hate to say this but cricket is right. The item being physical or not do not matter for this kind of show off purshase. A Rolex or Birkin has pratically no construction cost, same as an nft (relative to their selling price).
And I don’t understand the point about the environnement, are you saying nft are negative because of their environnemental impact while a Rolex is positive ?
If so you I’m sure you can find plenty of status symbol item that pollute more than nft…
Nft are still stupid and people at this party are probably insufferable tho.
Uninformed take. The lowball for construction cost on a 2,000 euro rolex is ~700 euro. You also don’t understand the power draw of blockchain verification. You are 100% talking out of your ass.
So their contract addresses are down and they don’t do the one thing that set them apart from a usual token? Crazy. Sounds like it’s STILL worthless lmfao
A supercar cost a lot to construct but I’m pretty sure it’s worse for the environnement than a single nft (and don’t tell me it’s useful, in most case it will stay rotting in a garage)…
A Birkin bag can cost 100.000+ which is league out of it’s construction cost…
Heck, a signed baseball cost 5 bucks to make and can sell for 600.000.
.
Not everything has more fake value and effect on the environnement, but you can find worse thing for each aspects. Not saying nft are good, nft are trash, but it’s not a special kind of trash.

It’s a gold brick scam, it’s a special enough type of trash to have a name dude
The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.
“I remember those,” Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. “Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity.”
A moment later, Chumlee’s eyes widened in surprise. “Fourteen trillion?” he repeated.
“That’s what it says,” the singularity replied.
Chumlee shook his head. “I can’t believe it. I’ll give you two.”
