I think the first NFT asset might have had a value, much like Maurizio Cattelan's banana[0], where the actual bit of art is the certificate of owning the work, and not the perishable banana.
It is a sort of performance art.
Beyond that, I literally see no reason to buy these things, but they don't seem that different from physical collectibles, and most art pieces in general, where the concept of "original" is just as "irrelevant" in a world where we can duplicate things relatively easily.
