Of NFT, Wealth Tax and Toilet Paper
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/11/arts/design/nft-auction-christies-beeple.html
Read the news today, oh boy….see above link...someone named Beeple (never heard of him) sold an NFT (never heard of it) for $69 million through auction house Christie's. I have never understood the market pricing for art that you could actually hang on a wall or collectibles you could hold in your hand. When prices got truly out of whack for items that weren't quite Picasso or a 1952 Mantle rookie card, I thought it said a good deal about the amount of money flying around the world into the hands of the very chosen few. But now that we've let pricing insanity get into cyberspace with these Non Fungible Tokens, I have two things to say. One, where is that Wealth Tax? Two, I have decided to cash in and make available the very first of a series of photographs of toilet paper stuck to shoes around the world, this one a certified (by me) original of a (possibly) famous (possibly) French woman in Paris in 1983, auction details coming soon and part of a set guaranteed not to exceed 100 numbered digital prints.
