I don't think the point you made in the generational section of your comment is entirely valid. I do get digital goods, I myself have owned furni on Habbo. However, in that case you buy a digital good and can display it in your room (Habbo) or on your character (TF2), and Sulake and Valve make sure only people who paid for the item can show off with it.

In the case of NFTs I can just download any NFT myself and show off with it. It's like everyone being able to show off a hat in TF2, but the people having paid only have the advantage they can boast in chat about the fact they paid for something available to everyone.

You are right for the moment. I think if the metaverse is popular then displaying NFTs will become more meaningful. You will be able to show them in a home or on your avatar rather than just as a profile picture.
