Lawsuit: Sotheby's $24M sale to FTX gave Bored Ape NFTs "an air of legitimacy."

The Sotheby’s auction house has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by investors who regret buying Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs that sold for highly inflated prices during the NFT craze in 2021.

    It would be cool if each buyer has a unique hash and elements of the art are AI generated (like the background or texture) using some chaotic process with the hash as the seed, so that everyone gets a unique version. I would pay maybe a couple of bucks for something like that.

      That is a good idea, having a dynamically generated portion of the art dependent on a hash. That would actually be an NFT then, haha.

      I still don’t think I would pay a couple bucks for one, but I like your idea.

      Shoot. Maybe I’d sell them for a couple bucks? Let’s get on this.

        That’s the spirit 🤣 The challenge is building a team with both technical and artistic know-how to build something like this.

          From what I’ve learned about online digital currency, we only need one exceptional department, and that is marketing.
