The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations

Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

Really puts into question the capitalist myth of the genius entrepreneur and the idea that these corporate types are rich because they are smart or deserving in some way.

To put it simply, NFTs are crypto that hav a URL to some other thing attached to them.

As soon as the site that hosts bored ape images goes down, the ape people will have a bunch of 404 errors that cost them tens of thousands of dollars.
