I'm fundamentally against NFTs and the crypto space. For those who aren't aware of the ethical and financial issues with these things, I'd suggest the documentary below. Also note that I'm not anti-technology. I'm actually a hobbyist programmer and techno-optimist who studied computer science at Stanford University. My issue is with how the crypto space is hyper-capitalist, scammy, unsafe with regards to privacy and the environment, and doesn't actually respect artists, and most of the time those who get into crypto are finance bros who don't understand or care about art, let alone understand the technological basis of crypto. I think crypto space is inherently incompatible with DIY communities and any space that cares about artistic integrity and communities of care over profit.
