    NFTs were a form of tax avoidance.

    Art purchases in the US are tax deductible. So you buy an artwork and then sell it your own family trust and that is not taxabele income.

    The only downside is that artwork may be damaged, so you have to insure it. NFTs being entirely digital didn’t need to be insured.

    The NFT thing falied when they were removed by the IRS from being defined as artwork.
