    "The real winners of the NFT craze, in fact, may not be the people speculating in NFTs, but the companies and technologies enabling them to speculate. Ether, for instance, is benefiting from its widespread use in NFT transactions, which provides a new real-world application for the cryptocurrency.

    And while some speculators will get rich and others will end up losing money, the companies running the exchanges where these NFTs are traded may well clean up. (Dapper Labs is now raising money at a reported $2 billion valuation.)

    You can make money being a gambler. But in the long run, it’s much safer to be the house."
