To me they're destroying themselves. NFTs are the worst so far and seemed to be prepped for a huge backlash.

And I just saw this article on Barron's today which compared BTC to a tech stock rather than a store of value like gold.

NFTs have provoked a huge backlash amongst artists. I think often it is a little underinformed (though the conclusion is usually pretty sound) but you're not going to win hearts and minds when the first most of them hear about the tech is other people making lots of money off stolen or mass-produced art.
