    Sorry for my ignorance and somebody please explain this to me:

    Why would people buy gifs and jpg's for so much money when it's already being displayed online and you can basically just download it by right-click-save?

    Once bought, what exactly do you do with the piece?

    Somebody purchased a shitty image of a rose (just my opinion for $1M, wtf. What exactly do you do with the image when it's officially yours?

    Do people have too much money? Or is it mostly people who already profited a lot with crypto so they don't care throwing money out of the window?

    I can understand supporting an artist but paying thousands or hundred thousands and even millions for digital images & gifs seems some of the most stupid shit I've seen in recent times.

    • My understanding is that they are "investing" in it. What do you do with image? Sell it for a higher price.palimpsest
