> threatened to start minting NFTs of the avatars of anti-crypto furries I presume it's the crypto equivalent of scribbling horns and mustaches on a foe's phot

  It's basically a "forgery". I mean it's the same image contents wrapped with a different cryptographic signature, so they can be told apart, but the point is that being unique doesn't automatically make something valuable.

    >the point is that being unique doesn't automatically make something valuable. A lesson anyone who's into record collecting learns at one point or another. I have a few records from limited pressing runs which are rarer than pink dog turds and worth practically nothing.

Blog post on this actually in the works, but yes - the market decides the value. All those releases listed on discogs and eBay at silly prices are only worth that much if they actually sell at some point. At least with a record you can put the thing on and listen to it. NFTs though? Pure bullshit market speculation.

  No, it is "I will steal your work and make money off it".
