Except few people would spend 6 figures on lotteries, but 10000 people own bored apes. Yes, a lot of them didn't buy them at that price, but they are keeping them, which is actually the same thing.

So what? You think you have the authority to dictate how other people choose to spend their money?
Well obviously not, then people wouldn’t spend it on nfts.
One could say the same for $80m Picasso's
Not quite. Picasso had actual, one-in-a-billion talent. Most people know someone that could have drawn the Bored Apes better.

Not to mention the artificial nature of NFT “scarcity” or the physical aspect. If you buy a Picasso you buy something that one of the greatest artists of all time made with his hands.
