>In the plan, they talk about buying a book, converting it into JPGs, then burning the book, meaning that the “only copies” remaining will be the JPGs.
That’s one of the most “detached from reality” things I’ve ever read.
Imagine having 2.7M Euros and being dumber than a brick.
I have a farting rainbow signed by Tom Brady for sale.
Oh no… I thought this was satire….
It’s amazing that NFT art enthusiasts can’t quite understand they’re buying and selling… nothing. They own the blockchain equivalent of a CVS receipt.
_Surely for this much money we should be able to do big things with our purchase!_
But no. It’s still just a copy of someone else’s property. And they’re not even allowed to make another copy of it.
They’re either really dumb or are laundering lots of money….
Is this the Jodorowski version?
Why would they think the rights to dune would cost only 2.6 million € 🤣
That image of the ‘book’ they bought is not the Frank Herbert book. It looks like one of the few known copies of the Alejandro Judorowski’s intended Dune movie from the 70’s. Drawings, casting choices, etc. It is very rare and very valuable, true. But it’s not even the novel they say they bought.🤦♂️
This is no ordinary copy of Dune. These are the collected storyboards to Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film version, which was famously not made into a movie after he tried to hire Salvador Dali for a million dollars a day, or something. It’s an art book, and honestly, I had no idea that this existed and I have no idea how many copies there are. There’s a chance that these people actually have something one of a kind, here
edit: Nope, never mind, [here’s the entirety of the book that they bought, already scanned and online](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNGBuasYa_WETf7sF6Q9W3SN-X7oiB3jrh5QDMMNQPQl9xgS3cua–BhRr-BImP1w?pli=1&key=QmE1WTR0Z0FtZVFIalpsYVZ3LXFXMS1DUmNiUnR3). Found in under two minutes of searching.
apparently these books were made by Jodorowsky himself when he was trying to get people to buy into his vision for a film
The sooner this NFT nonsense bites the dust like so many pump-and-dump schemes before it, the better.
These guys are idiots but, how did it get to 2.7M euro? If that is 100× expectation, who was the other idiot who was bidding against them?
Goes to prove that just cus a person has money, doesn’t mean they are not idiots
These harkonnen plots get more stupid all the time.
This NFT stuff is starting to feel like this generations beanie babies
This NFT thing seems to be a cult based pyramid scheme only with an inefficient backend.
Honestly, this is good. Shows how effed up the perception of NFTs are by people that have no fucking clue.
Maybe fuckups on this scale will end up some regulation regarding NFTs being set up or an outright ban.

I love how the twitter thread contains 20 different variations of:
Sane person- “owning a copy of a book does not grant you ownership of the IP”
Cryptobro- “do you have a single source for your spurious claim?”
Fuck, the website hosting this article is a goddamn nightmare.
That website is horrible.
This gets a downvote purely because that website is a dumpster fire of pop ups
