This is disappointing. An NFT is the most pointless use of technology imaginable and here is the architect of a fundamental tech we use every day dipping to this level. To make money to give away? Is that why he needs to do this? Just give away some money you already have.
As with other NFT's, you don't get anything you don't have access to already. In Tim's case, any code he wrote has already been out a long time. Perhaps worse is that the "sale" is disingenuous and transfers no real rights. No ownership of any code (or graphic, or song) is conveyed by an NFT purchase.
Buying any NFT is not different from buying virtual credits in a video game, with the exception that the lifetime of your NFT may be longer or shorter than a typical video game.
