TLDR; The author (Kris Nova) found that a photographer who owned the copyright on a picture taken of her was put up for an NFT.
In other words, the photographer, who owned the copyright on a picture of the author (Kris Nova), minted an NFT on opensea.io. It sounds like Kris Nova was a bit shocked but ultimately, tentatively, supportive.
For people who maintain cryptocurrencies can only be used for crime, I would offer this quote from the post:
"""
I used bitcoin to pay for my HRT as a transgender woman when I first started transitioning in 2013. There was a bitcoin kiosk in Denver and that was the only way I was able to purchase estradiol on the underground pharmaceutical market.
"""
- oneoff786 5y agoWhile I don’t disagree with the ethics of selling such things, selling underground pharmaceuticals is almost certainly an example of a crime.
- mise_en_place 5y agoIsn’t it more of a grey area? They’re unscheduled. Which is why you can get something like Etizolam on the grey market. Or ivermectin
- conradludgate 5y agoWell, technically that is currently a crime. Those underground pharmaceuticals are illegal drugs. I agree that they shouldn't be illegal, but it currently is, so the statement is not disproven by this quote
