Based on my understanding on what I've seen on Twitter, non-fungible tokens(NFTs) are(based on it's name alone), are sort of digitized whatever stuff like art and such. This has been quite hot on crypto Twitter apparently because of the "scarcity" of digitized art.
In my opinion though, "digitized art" is a bunch of barnacles and makes no sense whatsoever. It's just a freakin image on a blockchain that I can freely copy-paste and download to my computer, so why pay for it?
Take a look at this:

It's being sold for freakin 0.25 ETH. Cool art, sure, but um.. I can simply copy the image and I'll get a 1:1 version of it..
And don't tell me that "downloading NFTs is the same with taking a photo of the original famous Mona Lisa painting" because no, no it's not.
Famous "influencers" like Anthony Pompliano are for NFTs but I just don't get it.
