My husband sold one for $65k.
A couple we know created one of the frog NFTs and made a good bit of money.

What does HODL mean? 7 top bitcoin slang terms explained
quote:
The meaning of HODL
HODL is one of the most frequently used slang terms in the bitcoin community. Some people occasionally say, incorrectly, that HODL is an acronym for “hold on for dear life.” While that acronym is accurate, it’s a bit of revisionist history. It turns out, HODL actually originated as a drunken misspelling of the word “hold.”
Long ago, an enthusiastic Bitcointalk forum user by the name of GameKyuubi posted a semi-intelligible tirade (after a few drinks, he admits) about an unfortunate bitcoin trading decision he made during a volatile price rally in December 2013.
In his post, he wrote, “I AM HODLING” in an effort to communicate that from that point on, he would simply hold his bitcoin instead of selling, no matter the market conditions. Within hours, the typo found its way onto every bitcoin community channel in the form of memes and GIFs, catapulting HODLing into crypto-vernacular history.

You know what was really funny about those NBA NFTs?
You didn’t actually own the highlight.
You couldn’t use it to make money, couldn’t market it.
You only owned the “NFT”.
You could only trade the NFT for money. That’s it.
How did people fall for this stuff?
The parallel is card trading. It's not that hard to make the leap.
Now obviously, prices got out of hand (understatement), but the concept is straightforward and you don't have to worry about authentification/grading etc. It just lacked adoption.

RJones was hawking his funko nft avatars like crazy. First he was going to get rich. Then they were a good place to park value and normies just went smart enough to understand. Then he was collecting them because it was just a fun hobby and he liked the way they looked. Then he disappeared, probably out of embarrassment for his sake.

Just right-click the pictures and save them. Now you “have” it.
Thus the absolute stupidity of it all. I remember several people (rocket, jones) around here who were all about them. I’m not even saying you couldn’t make some money from it, because people in general are fricking idiots. But the whole idea behind it was laughably silly.

Why would I say that? They aren’t the same thing (even though I get the point youre trying to make).

As I said earlier in the thread, it got out of hand for sure but if trad. collectible markets makes sense, you should understand what the angle was with NFTs. But the market ways prevails, and the market has said this shouldn be a niche thing. And some (very very few) are still thriving with it.

I bought two pictures of cartoon pigs for $50 each. I could have sold them for $5,000 a piece, but I held too long.

Are you trying to sell those beautiful make america great again trading cards? No one is going to sell them.

But it's not the same thing at all outside of both being "collected." And one of them is an actual, physical, tangible thing with value while the other is an easily copy-able digital thing with perceived value that isn't really based on anything other than a fad. Outside of being a cool/fad/trendy thing, there was no inherent value in something like an NFT. Something very easily replicable and easy to "own" by anybody.
So again, there was money to be made short-term with them...I don't argue otherwise. But that's only because people are stupid and gullible, and almost universally, the last person left holding the bag when the jig was up gets fricked and loses all of their invested money, while the people who took advantage of dumbness were likely able to make at least some money with it.
But your comparison to the MJ card is laughable, but it is exactly why the NFT market took off for a short period of time. Because those two things aren't remotely the same, yet people acted like they were. That MJ card still holds value today, whereas NFTs almost universally (as even you stated in your post) are worthless since the fad is over.

That's the whole "secret esoteric value" part.
The real value in NFTs was the purported big brains egotistically/sarcastically explaining to dullards the (paper) value in NFTs when normal people asked why they were worth anything.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the same thing that goes with the memecoin bullshite? The whole "this has value because we say it does, so get in now before it really takes off!" schtick?
