TL;DR: The NFT market has drastically declined since its peak in 2021, with most NFT collections having no value. There’s an oversupply of NFTs, leading to a buyer’s market, and environmental concerns due to energy consumption.

      As in, going through data recovery, or through courts? Is that really smarter than having a proof of ownership 24/7 in perpetuity, that you can even sell to others?
