This is what I think whenever someone tells me to sell something on Amazon or create an NFT. “Technically” I could figure it out and have the time to do it, but I wouldn’t because of the soul sucking nature or the pursuit.

This sums up my feelings towards NFTs succinctly. I feel like the vast majority of people are interested in them for the potential financial gainz and not the tech.
Just yesterday I got texted by a non technical friend asking if I knew how to build a minting site. Yes, I'm sure I could figure it out over a weekend but I have absolutely 0 interest in doing that.
Fortunately I feel comfortable enough with my current income and position where I don't feel an urge to waste the brain cycles learning about them.

Yea. I remember right around college all the grownups around me were telling me to go to medicine and not computer science. A friend of my father even told me "IT is in great decline, it has no future".
When I was still a student, a number of other adults were giving me advice to get into the oil business.
It might have been a bad decision financially, but I just could never bring myself to care about these things.
