Developers Try Turning Their GitHub Commits into NFTs

  > Whether there’s much value to be extracted remains to be seen. [...] just some NFTs listing this month have received bids — and several of them were well below the seller’s minimum list price. > One developer, Ernest Oppetit, had created a tool that suggests who to unfollow on Twitter. In one commit, he’d added a verifying GitNFT shield icon. He’s now sold that commit as a GitNFT. The winning offer was .002 Ethereum — or about $7.96 in U.S. currency. Can we officially declare the NFT hype over? Or is there some reason why the general public will buy into a blockchain they don't understand, but won't pay for software commits they don't understand?
