      It’s not for anyone with a shred of sense. Lighting aside, anyone still being conned by the NFT image market is unfortunately probably willfully ignorant, impossibly stubborn, and unable to learn from their mistakes or the mistakes of others. There are plenty of working ways to tokenize images for an actual purpose, blockchain verification is worthless for individual images and literally always was.

        The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.

        “I remember those,” Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. “Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity.”

        A moment later, Chumlee’s eyes widened in surprise. “Fourteen trillion?” he repeated.

        “That’s what it says,” the singularity replied.

        Chumlee shook his head. “I can’t believe it. I’ll give you two.”
