at first i just assumed it was the display name and not the account name, but then, look at the number of followers for the account, which lines up with legendary basketball play shaquille o'neal (15.6M)
this is also a fun list

I'm not sure what kind of understanding anyone can have about these things. Like, when Snoop says he's going to sell "Nuthin' But a G Thang" as an NFT, what does that mean? Does the person who buys it have the right of make money off it? Can they license it out? Take it on or off of streaming services? Or, if not, what do they own--just the bragging rights of having a digital address for a famous song?
― Chappies banging dustbin lids together (President Keyes), Friday, 8 April 2022 17:00 (two years ago) link
The contract for the Christie'sauction of that Beeple artwork explicitly stated that the buyer had no ownership or reproduction rights of the original image. Thats almost certainly the case, explicitly or implicitly, for all other nft sales, even if there's something specified in a "smart" blockchain contract, such rights exist solely in the real world.

So, would courts recognize a blockchain as a legal and binding contract? And since courts are the instruments of governments, how would submission to their jurisdiction reflect on the claim that cryptocurrencies are a path to freedom from government control?

^^^ was recently at an NFT "event", which was partly about selling pictures drawn by a sweet-seeming local entrepreneur on his second or third venture and blockchain-commodified by his "smart friend", a yammering huckster he met in prison; but was also about the smart friend exhorting a thursday night's bored young men to take their revolutionary destiny in hand (here's a reminder of the 2008 crash, here's some reactionary deus exy stuff about the federal reserve, here's some general remarks about the uselessness of "conventional politics", here's a denatured quote from hayek) and grow a new economy from the festering corpse of the state by... petitioning our state legislature to deregulate cryptocurrency transactions, which are tightly controlled here.

So far as I know (which is not very far), this has yet to be tested, and the only potential test I'm aware of is crypto bros who lost 'valuable' apes by mistake in duplicitious but, according to the rules of the blockchain, completely legitimate transactions, suing OpenSea claiming their apes were stolen. If this were to go to court it would be an attempt to not only apply government control to the blockchain, but in a way that would completely undermine, not support, its legitimacy. makesuthink indeed.

As of Thursday, the highest bid was 2.2 of the cryptocurrency ether – equivalent to about $6,800.
“My offer to sell was high and not everyone could afford it,” Estavi told Reuters via Twitter direct message, adding that he was no longer sure if he would sell the NFT.
“It’s important to me who wants to buy it, I will not sell this NFT to anyone because I do not think everyone deserves this NFT,” Estavi said.

Objectively, that failed auction was a disaster for him. The only way to salvage anything from the wreckage is to doggedly pretend the nft is still worth millions. Considering how far the nft community has drifted away from reality, his denial and retreat into nonsense makes perfect sense. His real audience is filled with deeply committed idiots.
