I'm fairly certain you neither work in cyber security, nor understand enough about crypto if you are standing by NFTs. Here's a few facts for you to chew over.

1. Your 'investment' is backed by literally nothing. What's encrypted is a key or token (or weblink) that links you to your digital item. It has no intrinsic value beyond what someone else will pay for it.
2. Your 'investment' can be immediately destroyed upon purchase, either by the game company if the servers shut down or by malicious intent on the seller who changes what that token points to.
3. Since you don't actually own the item, neither do you have any rights to it. Whether that's an in-game hat, a piece of artwork, you literally do not own the copyright to it unless it was specifically included.
4. Since you don't have any rights to it, neither do you have any grounds to pursue legal action against the seller. They sold you the link. Nothing more.

For someone who apparently works in cyber security, these should all be giant red flags. If none of your alarm bells are ringing at this point, then you should probably find employment which is better suited to your strengths.

NFT: Real Shit

Not saying NFTs are good either, but THIS is where we are drawing the line?

Square has been cash grabbing for years.
You're comparing an actual figurine which will likely adorn someone's room and is a genuinely limited commodity that not everyone will own, to an NFT which links to digital art which can easily be copied and distributed freely? Yes, this is where we're drawing the line.
