Indeed, the NFT market can be diverse, ranging from widely popular projects to more specialized and lesser-known artifacts. Quality and creativity often stand out, even in a crowded place. It's unfortunate that some exceptional pieces may not get as much attention as mainstream or trendy projects. However, the value of art is subjective, and passionate collectors can really make a difference by recognizing and supporting talented artists. The value of many NFTs is driven by speculation, as people buy and sell them in the hope that their value will increase over time. This speculative behavior often leads to hype-driven prices, even for NFTs without significant underlying value.
the value of NFT, is purely depend on hypes as you have described, moreover it also works like brand, if the NFT brand is known like the bored apes, then doesn't matter how shit the NFT is, will be valued high, but thats only in the past, now most of them don't have have bidder, meaning it doesn't even have any liquidity, just remnant of the past, those that bought at few thousands dollars even more are definitely making the worst investment decision in their life.
because after all, the liquidity of NFT doesn't really work like liquidity in altcoin market where its centralized but instead each NFT is unique asset which means harder for liquidity to come by.
thats why investment in NFT is just waste of money.
