    “Bull run”

    More like Bullshit run. Literally nobody fell for the grift. Celebrities bought into it because it was a pump and dump scheme and they can afford it. There is literally no use case for NFTs and even basic normies saw that.

      The use case for NFTs is to provide a bulletproof cryptographically secured registry for arbitrary content. Such as deeds or titles. Legally recognized, that would represent a marked improvement on the current system. You can have it represent digital goods also, that’s just more of a toy than a useful tool.
