NFT use cases that could go mainstream

Emperor's new clothes. Avoiding this stuff is literally the whole point of that parable.

Yeah, look. I'm a big believer in Web3 but this whole NFT craze is about the stupidest thing I've ever seen.

It's like tech never got the lesson from the whole beanie babies thing.

NFTs are basically an investment scam that just so happens to have a secondary market

It’s chilling how fast common sense has gone out the window.

Nfts are really really stupid. It's honestly sad that anyone is generating any money from them. It's like the pet rock except with millions floating around for one. But atleast you actually had something, even if it was just a rock at the end of the day, nfts are absolutely nothing

In this thread, cynicism from people salty that they didn't invent or collect cryptopunks or bored apes.

I haven't gotten into nfts myself but to say that they are stupid or a scam now comes across as wishful thinking to cover your butt for missing out.

nfts represent ownership over digital culture, like it or not. digital collectibles. the market will decide whether they are priced like banksys or beanie babies.

While many will be a fad, I'm certain some won't be. Other nfts will be as mundane as an event ticket. It's a wide open field, and I think the HN community should try to keep an open mind.
