I believe NFTs are going to come back hard in the next few years and change the world for the better. It's fundamentally an empowering technology.

How? The reason it didn't catch on unlike AI is because it didn't provide any tangible value besides being an avenue for degenerate speculation. What's the point in introducing scarcity to one of the few mediums where scarcity is inherently absent?

The only NFT-like thing that is successful that I can come up with is Counter Strike skins, but that is in large part about gambling and speculation.
