Most celebrities have embraced the technology with enthusiasm
stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were asked their opinion about the NFTs created for the upcoming film, which proved so popular that they temporarily crashed the website on which they were sold.
Reeves, however, couldn’t contain himself - his response was to burst out laughing at the mere mention of NFTs, the very notion of digital scarcity.
The joke that sparked Reeves fit of laughter is the fact that this is artificial scarcity, going against the very ethos of the internet; simply right-clicking an NFT will save the image, obviously, and the digital certificate is only viewed as authentic and valuable because a bunch of investors have decided that it should be so. Frankly, if you think you don’t understand the phenomenon, you probably understand it perfectly well.
