Re:John Cleese Sells the Brooklyn Bridge as an NFT on Sunday March 21, 2021 @04:46PM (#26533826)
Some people in this thread talk about "bragging rights". I am genuinely curious if anyone would be impressed by someone bragging about purchasing this NFT, or know anyone who would be impressed.

I wouldn't and can't think of anyone I know who would, the emotional response would probably just be of frustration at the absurd amount of money being spent, much like bragging about any large value novelty purchase.

I have found a bunch of interesting links on reddit/hackernews but nothing garners my interest more than books, to be honest.
