I've gotten into crypto slightly, mainly the interest earning on stablecoins as an alternative to letting the bank totally inflate my money away. Some of the more mainstream coin trading as well. Or even more crazy, I've been using dollars to buy crypto then later buying silver coins with that crypto. I think that's some sort of heresy or something.
But this whole non-fungible thing...WTF no. Just no. I totally understand actual physical sports memorabilia or something, but virtual ownership of stuff that can't actually even be owned? Yeah I'm going to have to pass.
Good point. The buying of cosmetic game items never caught on to me either. I know some people younger than me (and much more broke) that have poured money into that crap. I'll buy lots of stupid shit, but not interested in "owning" a tweet or an online showoff item.

So they've been training people to buy things that aren't real in video games for a while now.
If someone doesn't mind paying real dough for a digital mount, pet, or clothes .... well, now we're seeing the next step "forward".
Never assume that something has stopped at the point it is now.
