You're vastly overestimating the reasoning ability of prospective NFT buyers.
They couldn't accurately identify a picture. Instead of concluding "I can just copy and paste this", they overrode their common sense to convince themselves that a digital picture of a monkey was unique. Unerringly, truly, exceptionally unique. A digital monkey picture.
It's pretty great. NFT dimbulbs are the flat earthers of crypto.
NFTs remind me a lot of the international star registry.
You're paying someone a lot for them to record some unofficial bragging rights in some unofficial database that literally no normal person cares about.
Wait...but the star is named after ME. It's mine, right?
It sure is champ
Omigod how do you know my name? Do you work for the star people?
