There are 5,000 AI-generated digital collectibles in the Mardi Gras-themed NFTs collection from Nieux Co. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, are collectible digital items that serve as evidence of ownership.Although they have a mixed track record, innovative uses of NFTs, such access tokens to real-world activities, are not new. A New York eatery suggested employing NFTs in August 2022 to get the most sought-after reservations. Diners and NFT supporters alike widely mocked it.
When word of the drop spread on Crypto Twitter, jokes about the pitch quickly followed. One account tweeted, I’m going to poop on the back of the building for free, and there is nothing they can do about it. $160 for a restroom during parades? LMFAO, simply use your usual hidden peeing location. But for tourists, this is a terrific way to make money, said another.
