But wait! Why should you buy an NFT? What are your reasons? For me, I buy NFTs for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons is that many persons and I desire to invest in a fresh, speculative, and highly volatile asset. In 2021, the market for NFTs skyrocketed, and many collections, including the Crypto Punks and the Bored Ape Yacht Club, had their values skyrocket. Some buyers choose to buy NFTs as a sort of digital art instead of gambling on their future value. Many individuals desire to own rare, verifiably authentic digital art as the world advances more and more towards a digital future in which we spend a lot of our interactions and time online.
