Car/bag/cloth/jewelry/art - these type of things are sometime considered status symbol. It help people convey certain “message” to other. NFT might could be the same in the ever more virtual world. I might not be be the target audience; but it does not meant that it hold no value to other.

People spent lots of money on game skins, rare weapon. So there is a market.

When one goes to a physical conference: flair/badges serves similar purpose. NFT could be that in zoom/team/slack.

My naive way of looking at NFT: Maybe it can be used to help fund open source free software. Instead piece of art; a flair/pin/badge for showing your support for your favor projects.

do not underestimate people's vanity.
