I still recall the NFT hype of few years ago. It was the most popular form of digital art then, thought it will stand the test of time probably 10 years but unfortunately today NFTs have not only faded, it has lost value. Few years ago when NFTs were making headlines, people bought them at ridiculous prices hoping to get rich quick on the long run. At some point it was sold at fund raising events which was cool.

I still recall when the internet when Justin Sun bought a banana-on-a-wall art piece for $6.2million, in his case he didn’t buy it for profit he said he bought it because the piece represented a cultural phenomenon that bridges art and the crypto community. But presently i think it’s safe NFTs don’t stand a chance to go mainstream anymore, even though they were seen as a key part of Web3 ecosystem then, it doesn’t hold no real utility to make it significant now.

I wonder if OpenSea and Doodles still generate enough revenue from NFTs anymore because now everyone cares more about AI, ChatGPT than NFTs.

I am really glad that, NFT market and hype both have died down. It was a pure form of scam and nothing else. Also it had become a playground of the money laundering cartels. So I hope it never comes back in its former glory.

Right now, anyone can flood the market with NFT and list them for free. A digital image cannot create real value. I am happy that finally people have started understanding it and staying away from it.
