There’s a children’s book (*) that I remember reading as a kid in which a villain starts selling gift-boxes marked “Rien”, “Nichts”, “Nada” etc. to the naive talking animals who make up the population of the world. So when I think of NFTs, I think of the scene where the squirrel cries after opening her box of “Nichts” and finding nothing inside.
I was probably six or seven when I read the book, but I’ve hated scammers ever since.
(*) Based on some quick Googling, I think it was one of the books from the “Magical Woodland” series by Beverley Nichols.
