NFTs being used to provide virtually nothing of value to their purchasers in an attempt to separate them from their money isn't an uncommon occurrence. In fact NFTs by their very nature invite people to sell highly speculative and questionable "assets" that are frequently nothing of any real worth to others where the buyer hopes one day said "asset" will appreciate in value and be worth something. People look at the space and see that they can take their celebrity or brand and leverage it to produce some that cost them in most cases little to nothing to make and sell it to consumers and what does one think that would invite? Scams and frauds.
This is merely your opinion.
You said all this and still miss the fact that the "scam" and "fraud" is when someone is cheated out of something in exchange for something promised. If I hypothetically created an NFT of a picture I took and simply posted it somewhere and someone bought it, whose fault is that? You're crying about scams yet it takes two to tango. If I sold you the NFT and said "You'll get special access to XYZ" and then you don't get that, that's a scam. What's funny is you're conflating your idea of value which is malleable and saying that everyone values the same.
You could swap your sentence out for stocks/crypto where someone buys an "asset" in the hopes that the "asset" will appreciate in value and be worth something. Same thing with holographic pokemon cards, or baseball cards.
What's so valuable about it?
Our entire monetary system is literally built off of confidence and has no real inherent value outside of everyone trusting in some printed paper.
You can literally take almost object clip it down to a few sentences and present it as something positive when the common use case for it is anything but. Nuclear weapons are a net positive to society. They ended World War II and are a deterrent to war and violence. Hell part of the reason Russia and the US right now won't enter all out war between each other can be contributed to nuclear weapons. It isn't the nuclear weapons fault if it's used to kill people. All it has to do is simply exist and not be used and it's existence is a safeguard for man as a whole. Anyone that says nuclear weapons are bad is saying idiotic.
Guns can also a positive when you just consider the fact that by simply existing can deter people from violence and save lives. A gun can't fire itself a person has to fire it and decide how to use it. Isn't the gun's fault it's commonly used in mass shootings or robberies and other random acts of violence.
What a silly analogy. Nuclear weapons are literally "weapons". Its name and use are literally for war. Why is there a war in the first place? It exists in response to something.
There is literally no other use for a nulcear weapon other than to destroy so wtf are you even comparing it to NFTS for? Typical woke/moral argument used here.
You can literally take almost anything and present it as something negative as well which is what you're doing here.
You're poorly informed on this and are merely parroting typical mainstream media talking points in regards to why NFTS are bad, why crypto is bad etc. Almost everything you're saying is easily refuted such as the "no use case" for NFTS. Earlier you mentioned something about just "snapping a picture of the NFT" and right there I realized you have a surface level understanding of them.
Coachella has NFTS, are those scams?
You're throwing around words incorrectly(scam/ponzi scheme/pyramid scheme) and painting an entire thing as something because there are people that can exploit something to scam people. Once you brought up MLMs such as Primerica I knew you don't really know what you're talking about but merely are virtue signaling and making an emotional argument.
Honestly, at this point, you seem to be utterly convinced that NFTS are digital hell and is the synagogue of satan so there's really no point in engaging with you. You don't have to buy any NFTS breh. No need to respond, you're just wasting my time now with these silly talking points.
