Wait...the article says they're still worth $50k each.
Really?
You're vastly overestimating the reasoning ability of prospective NFT buyers.
They couldn't accurately identify a picture. Instead of concluding "I can just copy and paste this", they overrode their common sense to convince themselves that a digital picture of a monkey was unique. Unerringly, truly, exceptionally unique. A digital monkey picture.
It's pretty great. NFT dimbulbs are the flat earthers of crypto.
It would be cool if each buyer has a unique hash and elements of the art are AI generated (like the background or texture) using some chaotic process with the hash as the seed, so that everyone gets a unique version. I would pay maybe a couple of bucks for something like that.
That is a good idea, having a dynamically generated portion of the art dependent on a hash. That would actually be an NFT then, haha.
I still don't think I would pay a couple bucks for one, but I like your idea.
Shoot. Maybe I'd sell them for a couple bucks? Let's get on this.
That's the spirit 🤣 The challenge is building a team with both technical and artistic know-how to build something like this.
From what I've learned about online digital currency, we only need one exceptional department, and that is marketing.
