It's more like "Oh, you want some more wine? Go ahead. Oh, I guess pour me one, too. And I then I guess I'll get out the desserts. But keep having sides or whatever if you want. And does anyone want to play a game or something?"

Since they bought a meat smoker, their summer cookouts end up with a similar sort of itinerary. "Hey, these sausages are ready; who wants one? In a bit, there's going to be pork tenderloin. And some brisket. Oh, don't forget the ribs!"

Here’s how NFTs work, roughly.

I put a picture of something in an envelope. You pay me enough money to buy a car, and I burn a stack of old tires to needlessly pollute. After the tire burning ceremony is over I give you a piece of paper that says “Local Weather totally owns the picture in this envelope I have” and I publish a notice so everybody can see that you bought the contents of that envelope from me.

You do not get the envelope. You do not get a say in what I do with the envelope. If I want to take the lovely animal picture that was originally in the envelope out and replace it with goatse, I can do that. If I want to just light it on fire, I can do that. You do not own the item. You own the receipt.

OK, I can kinda-sorta understand most of that.

But how do I, (the purchaser of the NFT), make money on my investment? Do I get to onsell the receipt to someone richer and more gullible than me so that I make a profit? If I hold on to the receipt for long enough does it increase in value? Is there another way for me to make my investment in this receipt worthwhile?

Or is there no monetary value for me, (the purchaser), and the actual value I get is the pride, social cachet, and reputation I get as being the owner of the receipt? Coz I can also see that being a thing, nerds bragging to other nerds that they own an NFT of something or other.

The former, in some cases, follows from the latter.

To be marxist about it, NFTs have absolutely zero use-value, it has labour-value insofar as it takes computing power to create, and it has exchange-value entirely determined by how many other idiot nerds are willing to spend money on things that have absolutely no use but require labour to create.

This, of course, makes them unbelievably volatile because their value is entirely a function of extremely niche social trends, but mostly makes them absolutely worthless because the most likely outcome is that you spend money on it because you are the rube who has been duped into believing that the magic beans have exchange value and nobody is going to want to buy the thing off you.

I'm convinced that a decent amount of the enthusiasm is because it specifically uses the vocab word "fungible" and they think it sounds smart to say non fungible.

Its like saying you found a paradigm shift in physics for your perpetual motion machine. Or a grade schooler being amazed how big a number they getting pressing 9 a ton of times is.

edit: ^Yeah, cargo cult stock broker is a big part of the fun too.

Or for a quicker point it's literally just trading cards except dumber and nerdier.

A shadowless 1st Edition Charizard isn't any better than a normal one, except everyone knows its rarer. So if you own one and show it off you feel warm and fuzzy and cool. Same thing with Ken Griffy Jr. rookie cards (if you want a fun read, look up the collapse of the baseball card bubble). Same thing as wearing a $100 hat in TF2. Same thing with owning some rare NFT of a weird cat that there are only 5 of in the world. It's just that once it crossed with crypto the values went to absurd levels.

I had heard the honest initial rush in interest in NFTs was from bored trading cards nerds looking for a way to take the hobby online, since Covid meant that they couldn't go to game stores or conventions. Then, I thought, the tulip mania came after a totally honest and real giant sale between two partners in the same company that every bored news site reported breathlessly.

Mixture of both. These things have no actual value other than the pride that cryptobros take in them, so you are hoping that cryptobro pride increases the demand for NFTs so that you can resell it for a profit later on.
