A blockchain company bought a $95,000 Banksy artwork, burned it and broadcast it live on Twitter — all part of a process of turning the work into a virtual asset called a non-fungible token, or NFT.

Injective Protocol, the company behind the stunt, bought the screenprint "Morons (White)" from New York's Taglialatella Gallery, then burned it Monday evening. The event, which took place in an undisclosed Brooklyn neighborhood, was live-streamed through the Twitter account BurntBanksy.

Morons 😂

Paying $95,000.00 for an unsigned Morons is the most noteworthy part of the article. That's an impressive amount the gallery brought in.

I think I feel worse for who ever is going to buy this. They will probably pay more for a tokenised picture, that was made without the artists consent.

I beg to differ. Defecating on someone's grave is probably more disrespectful than that.

I can't believe you morons actually burn this sh*t

That’s if you believe it’s the real number. Easier to justify a higher price if you originally paid 95.

If they paid asking price from Tagliatella, that might have been the real number. Gotta love that Tag tax.

Just wait until you actually watch it. Smoothly and eloquently explained it is not...

Muppets.

Well, I guess this certainly proves that the Banksy market is on fire...

Or as some would say, Hot Hot Hot.

[iforgot my username]

Is the COA for sale TAG Gallery?  Nico? Paging Nico....

[Deleted]

why didn't they just buy one of the many damaged Banksy prints and destroy that?? weird

[artzhole]

When the KLF burnt cash it was mental but had a message with meaning in my opinion but what the hell are these lot trying to accomplish?... next they will be burning books as there all on kindle.

[nogizer]

Kinda insane...

Do you know when you were a kid showing your grandparents your name written in Basic on your BBC Micro? And they were mesmerised yet didn't understand it at all?

That's me now. But it's blockchains, NFTs, Gamestop, BitCoin.

Stop the world, I'm getting off

This is right up there with the idiots who cut up the Hirst Spot print.

Is that video the actual NFT itself? This is amateur "provocateur" trash trying to ride the wave of "digital art."

Overall, the idea is lame. But if they were, ya know – ACTUAL ARTISTS – they could have made something somewhat artistic out of it. Instead, you get a crudely shot video of a guy struggling to light the damn print with his shitty lighter and blocking the camera.

If I had to gamble I would put my bitcoin on they burned a W C P ......

They might have bought a real Banksy.... doesn't mean they burned it.

[covertshadowops]

Just a photocopy of the print.... you are lead to believe it’s real 🤦‍♂️

[sgolby]

dumbf*cks

[Javier]

Most amateur video ever recorded
Pathetic as an idea, pathetically executed
