The Wild West Just Got A Whole Heck Of A Lot Wilder Now That NFTs Are In Town
Judas steer. I must say, it’s beena rootin’ tootin’ rowdy time out here in the wild west. Well, with the gold rush n all. Not to mention the free land. But now that NFTs done arrived, jumpin Jehosephat, it’s bin wake snakes.
What n tarnation is an NFT you ask? It’s a non-fungible token, so they tell me. Or in plain English, a digital certificate of ownership. Rich folk say it’s kinda like a collectable of sorts. The artsy-fartsy type might call it cyber art I spose. I call it downright stupefying.
I seen gold fever with my own two eyes. Killed a man for a plot of land with my bare hands. But I ain’t never seen no one fork over no $200k for a Lebron James “Cosmic Moment” digital trading card. No sir. That is beyond my realm of understanding. Paid for by bitcoin no less. Shoot. Only bit we known round these parts is two-bits for a whiskey.
Townsfolk goin’ yippee-ki-yay for NFTs. Like wild hogs headin’ to feed. God as my witness, Grimes sold $6 million wortha digital art in a day. And Kings of Leon, they went and done launched an entire album as an NFT. I had no idea they were still a band.
Listen here now, I’d like to think I’m a reasonable feller, open to new convictions n such, but when I’m told to believe that NFTs for “CryptoKitties” and “CryptoPunk7804” trade for more than 24 karat gold nuggets, doggone, there’s not much more I can do but ramble down to the saloon and hope this whole world don’t swallow itself up by the time I come to.
Yee-haw, just bought my first NFT! Snagged a digital file of the burnt Banksy called ‘Morons.’ Eureka! All my cowboy buds are mighty impressed. So is my horse. Until I had to sell it to buy more NFTs!
For the love of Daniel Boone, did you hear that an original Beeple JPG file sold for $69 million?!
I best get a wiggle on now — time to stake my cyber claim in the wilder west! Nyan Cat pop tart meme ain’t gonna procure itself!
