Are NFTs a legitimate way to sell art?

No. NFTs are complete nonsense right now. The technology is interesting, but it’s not a practical way to sell art. Selling art is hard enough without asking buyers to get crypto wallets and fund accounts. Stick to cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, potentially Bitcoin, and absolutely cold hard cash. NFTs were hot for a moment and are now mostly a scam. Maybe they’ll come back in the future, but for now, avoid them.
