Sure, but certain people also like holding things like CSAM, which we as a society agree are more destructive to society as a whole.

So if collecting doesn't involve adding to the global warming crisis, I'd be much more okay with it.

And if holding an NFT (especially on a proof-of-stake blockchain, wherein the carbon footprint is negligible) was in any way comparable to holding child porn, then maybe that'd be a valid point.

Etherium just pushed back their proof-of-stake transformation again. It's reading more like vaporware than actual software delivery.

And there are a lot more NFT-capable proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies out there than just Ethereum.
