it's one banana michael what could it cost $6.2 million?

"Cryptocurrency" and "entrepreneur" are two words often used by highly punchable people. Using them together should be considered a war crime.
-
I thought this happened months ago. Did another cryptocurrency person else eat the banana? That's not that original.
-
The article is from November 2024, so yes, it DID happen months ago.
-
It happened once before where someone off the street walked in and ate it.

Well, clearly this isn't the onion, it was a banana.
They're very different.
-
Those words strung together like that sound indistinguishable from “money laundering”

Absolutely, he should be one of the first to go.

-
an allegory, if any
-
I praise the one who managed to sell it.

Eh, that's just art things being art things.

Any reason I should care? I don't want to click the link and add to the unnecessary attention.
Not really, no.
Also, someone has eaten the banana before, and they just replaced it. This artwork, if you can call it that, is more like a licence than an artwork.
It comes with instructions on how to display the banana, specifying the height, type of tape, colour of wall etc, and any of those items can be replaced. Anyone can tape a banana to a wall, but there can be only one genuine piece.
It's quite fascinating actually.
So it's an art piece, well, that's at least SOME reason I MIGHT care (I still don't). Thank you.
If he tapes two bananas to the wall at the same time, is that art forgery?
Since the artwork is the banana taped to a wall, does it stop being artwork as soon as it's taken down? If so, has he actually eaten art, or just destroyed art and eaten a banana?
Can you take two artworks, mash them up, and turn them into artwork bread?
These are just a few of the interesting questions that a crypto-bro just trying to shake his "I'm rich" dick around lacks the intellectual capacity to think about.
So .. today's banana version of the ship of Theseus.

It's also an idiot litmus test. Not the artwork but the marketing.
