Seriously, there’s one born every minute.
A crypto-currency group spent £2.2million on a sci-fi novel after mistakenly believing that their purchase granted them the copyright to the book.
They then went onto Twatter to announce their idiocy.
Announcing the sale on Twitter, the group said it planned to make the title ‘public’ – and ‘produce an original animated limited series’ to sell to ‘a streaming service’.
But despite paying more than one hundred times the £20,000 asking price, critics were quick to point out the book had already been online for free since 2011 and Spice DAO did not own the copyright.
Fuckwits. Still, a fool and his money and all that.
This story seems to be about people diving headfirst into things that they don’t understand.
They were hoping to con people with NFTs. I never cease to be amazed at the stupidity and gullibility of people.
