## What Jamie wrote

This headline grabbing $69.3 million digital artwork sale does look to be more publicity stunt than anything else. Metakovan has a lot of incentive to bring a lot of light to the NFT market. I think this purchase is more of a sideshow, and getting rich on art NFTs is not sensible. I do think there are a number of valid use cases around NFTs.
