Love your rant, esp. when it gets to hard-forking ETH to fork out the beeple piece. That's a bit over the top, though, in the end, a blockchain is there for the uses it's users come up with. But you know this...

>Dude's who have "cool tattoo's" and pride themselves on the kind of micro-brew beer they drink and smoke hand rolled cigars cut with Damascus steel or some shit- those dudes like that kind of art- its embarrassing. I don't "get" modern art. Everything is ugly and has "deep" meaning in the sense a 16yo would consider deep. And the art crows is too scared to call the artists out. So yeah, I do agree, but it's not just this beeple guy, it's basically the last 50y of art history, give or take.

But then, those young, white, male hipster dudes have money to spend, so why should the art market not cater to them?
