Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else remember in 2000-01, when Upper Deck produced e-cards for their hockey set?

Each physical card had a unique code that you could enter into an upper deck website to build your digital collection. Anybody who built the set at the time has nothing to show for it now. The site is defunct, the digital cards don't exist anywhere, and the paper versions are effectively worthless.

I suspect the same outcome is inevitable for NFTs. Whenever the computer powering the blockchain is eventually powered down, collectors will be left with a collection worth approximately the same as the paper it's printed on.
