NFTs are not baseball cards, they're not JPEGs, they're none of this.
They are emblems of buy-in to a community or idea. Think of it like the next generation of crowdfunding.
Most of what people are saying here is really ignorant of the reality on the ground to be honest, so it's hard to say anything other than-- ya'll really don't see it, because you haven't bothered to look.
I went to a "blue ribbon" school that was attached to a continuation school. It was a great school. Kids behaved well, very upper middle class.
However, if you were doing at all not great for any reason -- C average, struggling with depression or learning, anything -- they would pressure you into the continuation school right next door. So you have one school operating as two schools so that they can pretend to be the top school in the state by moving the bottom set next door.
