If you are referring to scam artists, you are 100% right! Also, some actual artists might have got some money out of it, but I suspect the majority of dough that exchanged hands went to the former kind.

I'm sorry you dont have any technically inclined artists in your circle, but I first learned about NFTs from myartists friends.

Colored coins have been around for a very long time, and NFTs have been an income stream for artists long before the financial elite gave them a bad name.

History is important
