My non-techie wife just said to me, "We need to NFT this situation somehow."

She's been down that rabbit hole ever since reading about the Beeple piece.

I hope she reads the article about Beeple fraud. Buyer and owner of that art are basically investors in the same nft comp, there is no transaction either. It's just a PR.
I feel like everyone was going through massive amounts mental gymnastics to justify how NFTs are not just a scam like they look on the surface but how they are actually legitimate. News companies chipped in with the "well um actually value is just made up anyway"

But no, in the end it was just another crypto scam.

She needs to read this to come up with an equally genius marketing plan for her NFT.

An NFT is about marketing. The products value is how well the product is marketed and nothing else. It’s purified capitalism!

Maybe some kind of trustless crypto lotto about when the ahip will be freed?
