I am an art collector. None of it is rare or wildly expensive. Nor do I expect to resell any of it.

It might shock you to discover that I collect that art simply because I enjoyed looking at it and having it. I go to art galleries to see art that I do not own, not because of its financial value, but because I enjoyed looking at it.

The idea that art is exactly an precisely an investment vehicle is simply false to the fact. And honestly, I find it horrifying and empty.

Your smug statement presumes no one trades NFTs for the same reasons you do. You managed to make an economic observation into some personal emotional feely victim statement.

Personally I love looking at a nice shiny piece of gold and artfully stacked pile of $20s.
