    I still don’t get NFTs. Not the technical part, but the why-the-hell-would-anyone-want-this part. Like, I can’t even understand the logic behind someone thinking someone else would want something like this. It seems like it should be a simple concept but my brain just hurts.

      People see bitcoin/blockchain, don’t know the difference between the two, and realise other people have made lots of money on it. Same people see a new thing which also uses (or in their eyes, “is”) blockchain, and think this is going to be the new way to make money.
