NFTs are either a ridiculous waste of money, or a future-forward opportunity, depending on your perspective.
But whether you agree with Gary Vaynerchuck, who believes that NFTs will be a thing ‘for the rest of my life’, or Bill Gates, who views them as a perfect representation of the ‘greater fool’ theory (that you can make money so long as there’s a greater fool willing to spend more on a pointless thing), it’s worth ensuring that you at least have an educated opinion on the trend, which may or may not be a key digital product option in future.
