NFTs and tokens that are in the NFT category are basically different things, you can't get the same outcome for buying a token that you might get by purchasing an NFT, but as said, NFTs are not in as much hype as they used to be before and currently, only NFTs that are created by the famous NFT collections get sold like Mutant Ape, and many others.
An individual NFT creator or trader can barely get any bids or get any of their NFTs sold these days even if they try and promote their collections everywhere because there aren't a lot of interested buyers in the market anymore.
in regards of the liquidity that you elaborated i really agree.
it's ridiculous that many are considering buying NFT as some kind of investment meanwhile someone would hardly get any bid on their NFT even if they even sell it for fraction of its original value because once the trend with this NFT passes, then it's as good as didn't even exists in the first place, no one care about the NFT like no one care about the other millions NFT out there.
NFT isn't investing, it's hardly investing, it's more likely just fad, the current circumstance was totally different to back then, doesn't mean we should hold onto this NFT and waiting for its glory returns back maybe in the upcoming years but instead adapt.
only NFT that have utility that could still survive.
