I don't think it matters if it's silly. I think it's highly successful, and that the success is continued. CryptoPunks is a clear example of genuine use of NFTs that still is an elite thing today, but another example is needed. I'll use this: if you go to Bored Apes and sort by recently sold, and look through them, you can see that there would have to be a lot of manipulation to have them rated in quality like they are. It just isn't plausible to me that a huge amount of those are self-dealing. If people were self-dealing, there would be a bunch of less cool ones with high prices, in order to try and get people to pay more for them. https://opensea.io/collection/boredapeyachtclub?sortDirectio...
