    NFT’s are a scam. Blockchain less so but still has no use.

    NFTs were nothing but an URL saved in a decentralized database, linking to a centralized server.

      That implementation of NFTs was a total scam, yes. There are some cool potential applications for NFTs … but mostly it was a solution looking for a problem. Even situations where it could be useful - like tracking ownership of things like concert tickets - weren’t going to fly, because the companies don’t want to relinquish control of the second-hand marketplace. They don’t get their cut that way.
