The most obvious stupid scam ever conceived and they actually managed to hook a bunch of actual corporations
Square Enix, Nickelodeon, Coke, KFC, and more fell for this shit while regular people were laughing about how obvious a con it was.

an nft is someone using crypto to write on a ledger that you own a link to something like an image. basically if you paid me $10 to write down on a piece of paper that you owned the mona lisa that would be an analogue nft. It's non fungible because if I wrote down that you owned the mona lisa and also that you owned a portrait of the artist as a young man each note would refer to you owning the specific painting
cryptocurrency is the answer to the question what if you wanted to buy gold but were also an idiot
