> it is very much part and parcel of his drive for wealth and power, as evidenced by how vocally he compared Comedian to NFTs and blockchain entries while eating the thing.
I'm not really sure what the author wants us to take away, but it feels like we should somehow be insulted that Justin Sun compares "Comedian" to an NFT.
But I'd say that Comedian is the perfect example to use when explaining what an NFT is.
When you buy Comedian you do not buy the duct tape or the banana - those are changed regularly, as the banana will go bad. Instead you buy a recipe and a certificate. The recipe tells you at what angle to tape the banana and the certificate validates that the banana you taped to the wall is the original Comedian art work.
If you tape a banana to a wall without the certificate, it is a fake.
And that is how it works with NFTs. You don't buy a picture of a monkey, you buy a certificate that you own a picture of a monkey - and anyone who right-clicks and downloads that picture now owns a fake, because they don't have the certificate.
