2021 was already a weird year before NFTs (non-fungible tokens) became a thing, but now people are buying NFT digital rocks for over $200,000 and all they get is a digital rock!
Say what you will about NFTs, but they are the “new hotness” when it comes to digital currency where you can “own” a digital art piece, but now clipart of rocks are selling for way more than they should be.
One of the EtherRock up for sale right now, is selling for $272,679 because it is the “last rock of a digital set” before the creator makes a new match most likely in a few weeks.
You can see one buyer’s explanation as to why he bought a NFT rock below, but I feel like you could have bought a house instead if you really wanted to!
