‘Jack Dorsey’s First Tweet’ NFT Went on Sale for $48M. It Ended With a Top Bid of Just $280[^]
I just can't understand how one payed $2.9 million for something that not actually his. And I mean that that first post is on the public domain, everyone can include it in any article, you can see it on twitter... So what you actually buy, that worth $2.9 million (not to mention the expectation for $48 million)?

Because Crypto.
And quantum, at the end.
NFT's, CCs, ... they are a shell game combined with a Ponzi scheme: the Emperor's New Clothes under a digital wrapping. As long as there are believers to come in and shore it up, the house of cards does not collapse. Only the roof of left wing of it just did!

One used to blow their money on pet rocks. With crowd-sourcing, you can blow it on more expensive, pointless things.

A pet-rock may cost $10-$20 and mostly for collection and not as investment... These NFTs are for millions, with expected revenue of millions...
Something is wrong here...

99% of crypto news can be reduced to this story in 2 parts due to peoplessuckers unending faith in Line Goes Up.
1) Dunning-Krugerrands.
2) Money with wings. 💸💸💸
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

All I know is that NFTs aren't for me, as I'm the type of guy who still wouldn't pay $10 for the real/original/authentic Mona Lisa.
I've seen it. It can be reproduced. What would "owning" the original provide me with?

First time I got one on second guess. Bit of luck, but the three letters that hit... I don't think they left so many options for alternative 5-letter arrangements. It was the first guess I mustered which could possibly fit.
1st guess position = solved position: 4=1, 5=2, 2=3
Edit: I'm realizing this may have been 309 and not 310. Only just found that the share link is what does the formatting and you don't have to copy paste boxes here yourself.

Nearly missed this one. I should've had it in 4. When I thought of the word for some reason my minds eye saw it spelled with 6 letters so I threw it out of consideration.
