Not that this really applies to anyone here, but if you really want to pay thousands for an avatar that "belongs to you", give me that money (trust me, I could use it) and I will draw you a custom, from scratch avatar (no procedural generation here, actual custom) and get fancy paperwork made certifying that it belongs to you. All without the waste that would come with an NFT. And, again, you'll get a proper custom avatar! Everybody wins!
