Within one hour, the cock and ball portrait was sold.
For those who are new to the NFT gold rush, an NFT is a non-fungible token. In layman’s terms, a non-fungible token is a unique digital code on the Ethereum blockchain that can be bought and sold. As explained by the Verge:
NFTs can really be anything digital (such as drawings, music, your brain downloaded and turned into an AI), but a lot of the current excitement is around using the tech to sell digital art.
Given the current excitement on the Ethereum blockchain speculators have been trading digital art back in forth, similar to baseball or Pokémon cards and even physical artwork, hoping to sell them at a higher price.
Recently, the highest priced digital artwork that has been sold is a video of Donald Trump lying face down on the grass covered in graffiti. This NFT sold for $6.6 million. That was the highest priced NFT, until now.
“History has been made,” Nifty Gateway Tweeted on Wednesday, with the sky-high sale of the animated artwork created by digital artist Chuck Tingle. The digital artwork depicts what appears to be a massive set of balls with a big veiny bastard attached called, “Hairy Cock And Balls”.
The user who won the bid went by the name, #1 Johnny Sins Fan, paying $7.6 million for the digital image. “I like the picture,” #1 Johnny Sins Fan stated in a tweet. “I just like the picture.”
Since the historical sale, thousands have uploaded similar vulgar and pornographic images. One image titled “Tub Girl” was sold for $200,000. Another image titled “Goatse” was sold for $45,000. And finally an image titled “Two Girls One Cup” was so for a whopping $1.4 million.
What is the end game for this new grotesque bubble? No one knows. But as the heroic Jeffrey Toobin stated, “pulling your wang out during a Zoom call is more brave than all of the U.S. Troops combined.”
