In one of my previous blog posts which you can read here, I have talked in brief about Non Fungible Tokens, NFTs. I talked about the difference between fungibility and non-fungibility and compared crypto-currencies and NFTs from the perspective of fungibility and non-fungibility. Further, I emphasized the practical and real-world applications of NFTs which can be to represent ownership of something tangible. But recently there has been a huge rise in “digital arts” being sold as NFT for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and sometimes, even millions of dollars. In this blog post, I will cover 6 NFT’s that will prove that NFTs, in their current scam is either in a bubble or a scam.
Let’s start.

I drew something like this on the wall as a kid and got beaten by my parents for doing so.

No! The image is not loading, it really is just a blank image. Though $13,000 for an NFT might not look that exorbitant in the current state of things(NFTs), but what’s the harm if you’re getting it for nothing!

At least the anti-vaxxers won’t be opposing this vaccine.
Don’t believe me if this is real? Check it over here.
My new ultra-rare collection of digitized COVID Vaccines has just dropped! It's groundbreaking!

Why opt for multiple painful jabs in the arm, when you can get a safe #NFT vaccine, that's just as effective.
Only a few in stock! Get vaccinated today! 💉https://t.co/Krh5pRyGjE pic.twitter.com/ht3yqHqzyn

Buy an NFT ring instead of a real ring and show your partner how reckless you really are with your money.

Real diamond rings are so tacky and can be easily lost. The future involves NFT rings, which can be safely stored forever in the blockchain.

At the rate my ultra-rare rings are selling, there will be none left at these low prices within a week or two.https://t.co/BIcHyGPQJw pic.twitter.com/8Rd0hrGO4y
