  The person who bought it (pseudonym Metakovan) runs https://metapurse.fund/ https://metapurse.fund/ and says that Beeple's NFT is worth a billion. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2021/03/12/beeples-the-first-5000-days-sold-to-metakovan-founder-of-metapurse-for-69346250 https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessedamiani/2021/03/12/beeples...

I am not at all surprised that the person who paid that much is involved in hyping NFTs. IIRC, they also paid for it with Ethereum, and I think it's highly likely that they were someone who hit the crypto jackpot by getting it when it was very, very cheap, and are hoping lightning strikes twice.

    You mean a person who sunk a lot of money into it and has a vested interest in having other people think it has a lot of value thinks it has a lot of value? Holy shit.

  > be dumb enough to think it has value? It's only dumb until they can find someone even dumber to buy it for even more. Then it's genius.

    It's akin to betting on the supply of fools, and I constantly underestimate its size.
