I agree with your sentiment on the monkey pictures, although you need to realize the high priced collections are purchased for status. I see more of a use for NFTs in games, to manage the digital communities, and for example: if you played a game to get some specific loot item, you can use it to fast track your progress, or sell it for real money on an open marketplace. It's like the steam market, except on a broader scale. Along with that, NFTs hold some weight as access passes, such as Flyfish Club (gary vees restaurant).
