    LOL.

    Apologies. Probably does. Feel free to use your super-mod powers to move it.

        I think one of the reasons this is more absurdist humor than raw narcissism is the fact that in real life he’s a total beta physically.

                        The rampant masculinity of the pictures probably tipped a number of gentlemen of a certain age over the edge. There's only so much excitement one can gain from pictures of Hillary wearing orange.

                            It's similar to the difference between an original Van Gogh and a print. Everybody takes it as an article of faith that the original is of greater value than any print. Nobody calls anybody a fool for having that belief.

                                No, a Van Gogh painting as vastly different than a print.

                                The NFT case is more like this: there are an unlimited number of Van Gogh prints, since anyone can create them en mass. But you have a piece of paper saying your print is special, even though your print is identical to everyone else’s in every conceivable way.

                                  Well, kind of similar. Except one of the pictures is a poorly executed computer-generated picture of Donald Trump dressed as a superhero and grinning like the abject twat we all know him to be.

                                  And one is a Van Gogh.

                                    Motivated people could create prints of extreme similarity to originals, such that vanishingly few people could tell the difference. There doesn't exist a market for such near identical mass productions, because the thing they will always lack is the true status of being the unique original. That uniqueness is what an NFT captures.

                                    If Banksy did a piece of digital art and posted it anonymously on a popular websites through a hack of the website, an NFT for that art would be valuable, and not only to greater fools, and in the same way an original piece of art is valuable.
