鉴于 NFT 的日益普及，许多人开始怀疑花费数千甚至数百万美元购买可以在互联网上免费获得的东西是否真的值得。
根据 Finder.com 最近进行的研究，目前约有 3% 的美国互联网用户拥有不可替代的代币。 Finder 对来自 20 个国家的 28,000 多人进行了在线调查，以比较 NFT 的消费情况，发现美国的使用量排名倒数第三。

由于不可替代的代币基于类似商品的技术，因此它们的用户可以从中获利。得益于区块链，可以在没有中央授权的情况下验证 NFT，并使用数字签名来验证其所有权和原创性。
然而，围绕 NFT 的热议很大一部分源于从中获利的机会。艺术收藏家 Pablo Rodriguez Fraile 以 67,000 美元的价格从一位艺术家那里购买了一段 10 秒的视频剪辑，然后以 660 万美元的价格出售。
在 DEXterlab 于 6 月 10 日发布和进行的一项新调查中，1,318 名受访者中约有 64.3% 表示他们获得 NFT 的主要原因是“赚钱”。
根据调查，人们获得这些东西的第二个最常见的原因是“加入社区并灵活变通”。这是 14.7% 的调查受访者认为拥有某些 NFT 的首要原因。
约 12.4% 的调查受访者是数字艺术收藏家，而 8.6% 的人购买是为了获得游戏和工具的使用权，通常以会员特权的形式提供，这些特权可以授予访问艺术家作品、奖励和其他好处。
事实上，赚钱是人们购买数字艺术的最大原因之一。
在 4 月 26 日发表在 Phemex 上的一篇文章中，Jeffrey Craig 列出了个人购买 NFT 的四个原因：获得独特特权、获利、保持价值以及确保数字所有权和权利。

尽管个人购买不可替代代币的主要原因是为了赚钱，但在接受 DEXterlab 调查的 NFT 持有者中，有 58.3% 的人表示，他们的 NFT 迄今为止并不是特别有利可图。
尽管如此，约 41.7% 的受访者表示，他们能够在之前获得的 NFT 上创造利润。
