No Merit

Responding to Wertheimer’s tweet, Back stated that many NFT gross sales that are value 1000’s and even thousands and thousands of {dollars} are not actual.

The NFT consists of nonetheless photographs of a “rock” which are all an identical in design and form however with completely different coloration tones. However, the rocks are being bought for nothing lower than 500 ETH ($2 million), on the time of penning this line.

But regardless of the value of the rocks, Adam Back stated he would reject it even when he was paid to take it.

many of these are faked, similar to ICO raises shopping for their personal ICOs with raised cash. a low res gif of a rock has no advantage of any sort. so it is not value jack shit. I might refuse to settle for it when you paid me to take it.
