      Who else is betting the album just isn’t very good?

      Either way it feels like Wu-Tang is on the wrong side of the class war on this one. The fine art comparison is bullshit. At least fine art owned by individuals is often showcased for public viewing because everyone knows that a print, photo, or public exhibition is not the same as owning the original.

      I’m sure Wu-Tang thought they were just exploiting the upper class money laundering system for their own gains, but that just makes them court fools, not revolutionaries.

      I’m aware of the album lol. It’s been in headlines for years, pretty much any time Shkreli comes back into the spotlight. But actually, the methodology/technology behind NFTs has been around for a while. It predates the album.
