The Mona Lisa is just a canvas with paint on it
Fine art is valued for taxation and insurance purposes
So I have news for about NFTs...
You forgot the part that it is 500 years old and made by a significant historical figure.
And it's got "This is a fake" written in felt-tip pen on the canvas.
It's a good thing they haven't X-Rayed it yet. That might change the course of history. Although I suppose not as much as stopping life from ever existing on the Earth in the first place.
Yeah. We've just got to hope that no one manages to re-create the missing verses to Kubla Khan.
Pff. You get a time machine out of the deal. Worth it.
And have to live with a couch stuck in your stairway? Not a trade-off I'd be willing to make.
So if an NFT was 500 years old and made by Obama then it would be the same?
