This is obvious money laundering. I can understand suckers paying $5 for a worthless meme NFT, but no one would pay $80K unless they can verify the original creator minted a NFT for a historically significant thing. Some rando minting a NFT for a meme they didn't invent is obviously worthless to anyone with that kind of money.

I suspect these are mostly marketing stunts by people who own NFT brokerage platforms. It’a probably just moving 80k between a few wallets, and eureka - free press for days.
