Episode 23
Christie’s recently auctioned a non-fungible token (NFT) by a noted digital artist for $69 million. NFTs are unique files that live on a blockchain, but what’s an NFT, and what’s a blockchain? Mark gives Joe a verbal primer on cryptocurrencies and their use in the speculative trading of digital art ... and some other, not so savory applications. (Recorded May 21, 2021.)
