This had to be the most short-lived tech trend I've ever seen in my 41 years. Tamagotchi lasted longer in its heyday.

Same. I'm getting to the age where I say "I don't get it" when it comes to a lot of popular things these days. I said it loudly about NFTs, glad to see I didn't misunderstand it.

Someone mentioned in a video about crypto that the boom in nfts coincided with new tax rules for art that made it harder for millionaires to store/hide their money in it and avoid tax.
