The second serious regulation is put in place (like the IRS ruling at any Crypto transaction over 10k needs to be reported) the bubble is going to burst and it's not people like SE's CEO who are going to be left holding the bag but the rest of us.
My favorite analogy is the "name a star" registries that are meaningless.

But it gets better. Some of the NFT games have already removed the blockchain element. Making them even more alike to those registries. They really are worthless crap exploiting FOMO with artificial scarcity.
