Daniel Saraga has written an interesting article on how NFTs disrupted the art market in less than a year. He explains how NFTs work and shows the enormous hype about NFTs and the speculation involved. Prof. Claudio Tessone, the chairman of the UZH Blockchain Center, points out that the design of current blockchains (e.g., constant rate of supply) fuels this speculation.
