NEW YORK -- The exploding popularity of NFTs, or nonfungible tokens, has shown that people's love of collectibles knows no physical or virtual bounds -- whether for works of art or McRibs.
The second-ever NFT.NYC conference drew more than 5,000 people -- up from not even 500 back in 2019 -- to Times Square earlier this month for an event that showcased applications far beyond just the fine arts, such as Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" and crypto wine cellars where the tokens ripen long after the bottle is consumed.
