The thing with art is that even if the art itself is completely worthless, the materials used are not.

You can sell a "worthless" painting to be used as firewood.

Same with digital assets, they can be sold to be used as templates or even to train an AI.

But a location in some useless database (which is essentially what an NFT is) does not.
