      No, they really aren’t. What died down was scam artists selling jpegs for ridiculous money. Unfortunately. 99.999% of the human population thinks that NFTs are literally just jpegs thanks to the scam bros and retards that bought them. Real functional NFTs are definitely still being used.

        Can you name a good use case for NFTs?

        Maybe to transfer ownership of software, but other than that…. 🤷‍♂️

          Tax fraud/evasion was the main use case of NFTs that I saw but that’s exclusive to the world of high art and private collections – the actual NFTs, like bespoke paintings from famous painters.

          So you know; even when not designed as a scam from the onset, it’s about scamming money from others anyway.

          So you named one already. Anyhow, no, I fucking hate that ancient Internet game where people try to force you to do their work for them. Go to Google and type in the information you seek.

            The internet tells me that NFTs are “decentralized” decoration around centralized ownership. A worthless scam.
