But would you be willing to pay $2.5 million on Twitter founder Jack Dorsey’s first tweet, or what about $400,000 for a piece of video art that lasts less than a minute? And let’s not forget – we can already view these on the internet for free.
But what exactly are NFTs? What makes them valuable and are they an asset class worthy of our attention?
