This one hits different: in 2017 a tiny project called EtherRock dropped 100 identical pixel rocks as NFTs on Ethereum. No art flex, no hidden utility, just a static image of a rock and blockchain ownership. That’s it.
Why people lost their minds? Scarcity + provenance. Only 100 existed, ownership was public on-chain, and some collectors treated them like digital curios — the exact same thing you can right-click-save for free. But owning one proved you were in the club.
Over time a few EtherRocks sold for six or even seven figures. One of the headline sales was roughly $1.3 million for a single rock. People argue it’s peak crypto irony: a jpeg-rock that functions like an exclusive collectible, status flex, or speculative asset depending on who you ask.
Takeaway: collectors will pay for scarcity and story. If it was me? I’d grab a rock, slap a ridiculous provenance story on it, and call it a cultural artifact. 😂

Investors who bought NFTs a few years ago may regret their decision. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are no longer as hot as they once were. At the peak of the NFT craze, it seemed that the whole world was attracted by the digital art craze.
NFT collections like CryptoPunks and Bored Apes sparked a cultural trend that gained a lot of attention from 2021 to 2022, with celebrities like Justin Bieber, LeBron James, Tony Hawk, and Madonna purchasing the artworks and generating a series of headlines in mainstream media.
