Again, probably some of it is real, and that's the segment people who made money dealt with. I think of it as a sort of gambling; your acquaintance won a gambling game, someone else lost. Possibly there were some overly wealthy people buying them for status, or maybe that's just a myth. But the point is, most NFTs themselves aren't part of that at all, were never a part of any real market, so doing analysis on them is going to be misleading.
