A friend of mine who was very interested in NFT's explained to me that it is like an art, and even though I still do not understand it, I at least could understand other peoples points that way. Think about it this way, mona lisa worths money right? If it was ever sold, it would be sold for a lot of money right? Well that means art has value, not instrint value because it is not based on any financial data but it has value in some people, if you were to sell Mona Lisa today, it may make as much as a billion dollars, maybe even more who knows, because it is the most known painting in the world.
NFT is similar, the idea is that this worths even more than a painting most of the time because it is brand new, painting a picture has been around for centuries, hell if you consider cave drawings we could say millenias, but NFT is brand new, so you are getting in part of a new ART form and get the freshly made ones that could worth a lot in some decades. Of course I still wouldn't spend my money at all, but I understand why others do.
Physical art is valuable, but I can't say the same about digital art. Anyone can easily download the image hosted on a centralized server, without the need to purchase the NFT itself. People are spending millions of dollars into digital art, when it's publicly available on the Internet for free. It's a crazy world we're living these days.
If it were me, I'd invest my money into NFTs with intrinsic value that will rise in demand over time. In-game items is where the money's at. You can buy virtual real estate, accessories for your avatar, or even weapons using a crypto of your choice. Such NFTs will be truly unique, giving them greater value over the long term. The number of games supporting NFTs are still limited these days, but things could change if the trend becomes more popular in the mainstream world. Imagine renowned gaming companies like Activision, Nintendo, Sega, EA, and even Ubisoft joining the NFT craze. It would boost crypto/Blockchain tech's mainstream adoption by a long shot.
Nonetheless, time will tell us whenever the idea of NFTs will survive or fade away into oblivion. I hope this doesn't turn out like the ICO boom of 2017, where it all went down the drain after fierce regulations from mainstream governments. We need as much legitimate projects as possible to keep NFTs alive for the foreseeable future. Who knows how far the industry will go? Just my thoughts
