Recall when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles may now be worthless.

Most NFTs may now be worthless, less than two years after a bull run in the digital collectibles.

A study examining more than 73,000 NFT collections found that 95% had a market cap of 0 ETH.

Out of the top collections, the most common price for an NFT is now $5-$100.

Are NFTs dead?

A recent study looking at the price of thousands of collections seems to suggest the answer is "yes."

A report by dappGambl based on data provided by NFT Scan and CoinMarketCap showed that out of 73,257 NFT collections the researchers looked at, 69,795 of them, or slightly over 95%, had a market cap of zero ether.

By their estimates, almost 23 million people hold these worthless assets.

No better proof that the Fed's money tightening policies are working.

Beanie Bandies are actual things. And you can‘t make a new one by just digitally duping a file… or taking a screen shot.

a Genuine Authentic Certificate of Authenticity (only $39.95 plus $10 S&H) from me that genuinely and authentically certifies that they are the proud owner of 100% of nothing. (Order now, supplies are limited.)

The high priced NFTs like the goofy monkeys collection are still retaining their value somewhat.

Just to be clear I think the whole concept of NFTs is absurd but this article is misleading and click bait.
