It is difficult for the average person to conceive of how useless NFTs are
Random thought dump of observations from someone who's dabbled in the space a bit (but is not a cryptobro by any means) -Here's a thing about NFTs that I've seen a lot crypto evangelists and haters miss, and a sentiment that I think will grow once the novelty dies out: The "art" is irrelevant. It's no more than a thumbnail or a poster marketing it's utility, and that's exactly the actual important part - what I can do with it. Can I use it as an in-game item? Do I get access to your next podcast episode early in a patreon-like service? Do I unlock your next online course for free or get a 50% discount on your next concert?This sense of multiple applications is what I think people may or may not mean when they use the term "creator economy", but I think it fits nicely. People argue that interoperability of assets is useless because "no two games would ever want to share an item, developers don't want that". But another angle to this is that creators can give utility to a single asset across a wide variety of applications for their fans.Regardless, none of this has been realised yet and maybe this is just a pipe dream if the majority of hype in the space continues to revolve around useless, ugly ass monkeys that are shown off on twitter for some ego-inflating sense of elitism. It could go either way I guess
