Why are NFTs so expensive?

In 2021, interest in NFT’s has increased, with celebrities and artists getting on the bandwagon causing the cost of them to skyrocket. This year the most expensive NFTs of all time were sold, demonstrating serious investor appetite.

Some of the famous memes that sold this year include Disaster Girl’ meme sold for $473,000 and Nyan Cat’ sold for $590,000.

NFTs are expensive because they are one of a kind. Traditionally artwork is valuable because they were the only version available whereas digital art can be copied and reproduced with much more ease.
