An NFT could be anything. In this case it’s a one minute video of that mural.

NFT = non-fungible token

Basically, an NFT represents a unique digital file that could be art, audio, videos, items in video games, an item of digital sports memorabilia like a video clip or digital playing card, and other forms of creative work.

Apologies if you already knew all that.

It went for $178k.

I’m not a huge Nirvana fan but the print looks cool, I like the details.

Thank you. Seeing it mentioned a lot. Didn't know how it applied to Shepard.

Agreed. But, as an investor, I am happy to see it for its innovation and price jumps in the market.

I have to officially mark this point in time as the moment when I officially turned "too old". I am sure in the future all the kids in their virtual NFT houses, with their NFT sneakers, and NFT pets, living in the virtual reality matrix will all be crypto-billionaires laughing at me while I eat cat food out of the can - but I guess I'll just give them the finger and throw a roll of nickels at them.

you can also sit on your couch and look @ all your beautiful art on your walls, hell you probally have enough where you can rotate the collection every month and still not see the same thing twice for over a year.

I as well am trying to wrap my head around these nfts, but all i come up with is a bald spot where i keep scratching my head.

I knew I was no longer "with it" when watching people play video games became a thing. I can appreciate it and alla that, I'm just not down. So gimme some of them nickel rolls.

Can someone explain to me the difference between a NFT and these things that have been on sale for years and still haven't sold out?

well money wise, they are the same
5000@ 35.00 each = 175,000.00


the NFT is 1 of 1 and comes with blockchain authenticity for what ever that is worth.
