I guess it's like the 99.999% label effectiveness of hand sanitizer. We all know it's really 100%, but the best we can say is "we see no evidence of one that's not a scam".

Or perhaps every single one has a core of 1% sincere intention at its heart. After all, you can rather confidently say you have a receipt.

Money laundering. The one use case where NFTs are actually effective.

I bought an NFT of the Brooklyn Bridge, and I am very happy with my purchase.
