Throw Your Bored Apes into the Trash:

I call attention to the statement
"The hype is not the technology"  :
A main distinguishing feature from Dutch tulips .

On the latter craze, here's a more sobering perspective:

Also Starbucks is getting into the NFT space, although they're calling them "stamps".

Just a little food for thought on digital collectives and where they're headed.

It's an IQ test, it's pretty obvious to me.
If you put enough holes into anything, be it an ape or a persons head, eventually that thing becomes completely useless, thus throw it into the trash.
I once Bored the heck out of a piece of wood, it eventually completely disintegrated and fell apart but I didn't but it in the trash, I instead threw it into the fireplace where it at least provided a modicum of warmth!

Yes, that's the trouble with NFTs.  Burning them generates no warmth.
