If it’s about the belief and not about whether it can be quantified at all, people will always have somewhere to retreat their belief to. At the most extreme, even with extremely good copies people will bottom out to the No Cloning theorem to argue that the original is different.
Well, since we don’t have any data on this, there’s not really a way to find out who’s right. Though I intend to just ask some people how they feel about it.
I don’t have very much rigorous data about what proportion of NFTs are scams
Sorry, but isn’t the “scam” part a property of how the NFT is sold rather than the NFT itself? Otherwise I don’t understand what part of the NFT makes it a scam.
Based on browsing the market and arguing with people, it seems to me that sellers lying to buyers about it being a good investment is rare. (This is the standard I would use for “scam”, but, well, words.) The other relevant statistic is the percentage of buyers that are purchasing NFTs thinking that they are a great investment (even if this has not been explicitly promised). Agree that this isn’t core to your post, though.
