I don't mean to alarm anyone, or shake your faith in the broader economy, but it appears that demand for NFTs is not very strong.

it’s probably here to stay, but as what? I don’t think you can call it a currency, and I don’t think it has a future there. Dollars are already created electronically and that system basically works well. So what’s the real advantage for most people? The complication of it seems like a huge barrier.
That's where I'm at. All of my money is already essentially electronic currency. The future of crypto is the present of crypto: Primarily a speculative asset not unlike precious metals, and then also a better payment system than those same precious metals for black market transactions.
exactely you are right

Crypto investor Sina Estavi bought an NFT of Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey’s first tweet ever for $2.9 million in March of 2021. And after a year of constant hype for NFTs, most people would naturally assume Estavi might be able to turn a nice profit on his investment by now. But most people would be wrong.

Estavi put the NFT up for auction last week and bidding ended on Wednesday. The highest bid? Roughly $277 worth of ethereum, at current prices, according to crypto news outlet CoinDesk.

Estavi had hoped to get as much as $48 million for the NFT and pledged to donate half of the price to charity. But that’s obviously not happening anymore. The crypto businessman has a couple of days to decide whether he wants to accept just $277 for his multi-million dollar investment. But we’d guess he’s just going to keep it.

People paying millions for nothing and then trying to sell it for more millions. What a world.
