NFTs are the diamond jewelery of the internet: extremely pricey, limited usefulness, and impossible to recoup your "investment" on second hand markets.

Diamonds at least have industrial uses. NFTs don't even have an intrinsic value.

The 'gemstone quality' diamonds that end up in jewellery have no purpose apart from looking nice.

I suppose you could crush them to get something useful.

More like a paper saying you own a cubic zirconia even though you don't and can't actually posses it.
