Is there an IPO phase where someone buys it for a relatively small (but still insane) sum, and then increasingly stupid people buy it for increasingly higher prices?

Or am I really supposed to believe that someone got paid a couple tens of millions of dollars to produce this?

I just don’t understand

its just a ponzi. This could very well be a insider trade as we don’t know who the wallet belongs to. You and I could just make a deal where I pay for your NFT for X amount. Now I will buy your NFT, the transaction goes on the blockchain confirming that someone paid 29 mill for this specific NFT “ART”? Since the transaction is immutable the next sucker sees that it sold for 29 mill and now that is the base price that will be sold off to the next sucker.

Sure, that all makes sense

I guess it’s just funny for me to trace the mind of someone who thinks any of this could have any legitimacy at all, what sorts of things they would necessarily also have to believe

Imagining this is the first sale is incredibly funny, and it’s also funny to imagine that it was “bid” or “traded” up to this price (in the latter case: did some incredibly brazen and imaginary person just drop the hammer and increase the price by $10M, or do so many imaginary people want it that the price has been steadily climbing?).

It’s just a trip to wander the grounds of these mind palaces

Dunno what’s worse, this or the fact that someone apparently spent around 11 or 12 million on this before

If I was a crypto scam guy, i would buy a bunch of cheap nfts, then buy one for 23 million dollars if some other crypto scam guys agreed to buy a few of mine for a total of 23 million dollars

Oh look none of us spent any money but now a bunch of the worlds biggest losers want to invest

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
