I am also wondering why NFT is so hot. But same time i read in articles that it was very much in demand to make blockchain for NFT products.
In future games like Decentraland or Upland , there u will construct building and give space for advertisement to be installed on those buildings. And advertisers will pay for that and u can earn extra income from ur virtual world. Same like websites are earning from ad placements.
Lets see what will be the future or it will just getting down with time.
There is nothing too shocking about something that hypes, it is just a hype and we have done that many times before and that was always the case, remember ICO times? People ended up investing billions into things that didn't worth a single cent, hell I remember some guy making "scam coin" and literally say that he will scam people and there was a million dollars invested into that, people assumed it would be worth something for just the joke value but it wasn't a joke, he literally scammed them.
So long story short, there is nothing shocking about NFT neither, it is useless and shouldn't be seen as a real investment and people will keep investing into these things as long as it doesn't drop, one day there will be people trying to sell their NFT and will fail and at that moment you will see that all those "art" that is sold will become nothing.
