A hypothetical story:

"You have a picture of a modified Kenny. You put ina bit of money (even the hard one) to put a claim that this is 'the original one that you created' (doesn't even have to be true,... Just have to be the one to pay for that claim).

Now we discuss a bit in private and you borrow me some more hard money. Let's say 10k $ worth. And for good measure we have a common 'friend' whom you also borrow 5k .

You post the 'signature of the picture' on a platform that allows trading in that shit.

I buy that signature officially for 20k. I gave you your loan instantly back by doing so and a nice interest.

Now that you sold it to me, I pass our friend another added 10k to our friend and post the 'signature' on another (or the same, does not really matter) platform. Our friend buys it for 30k.

But he talks to some people telling them he fell on hard times, needs the money and has to sell, so he has to sell 5k under the price: 25k. The buyer thinking he made a bargain of 5k$ under the last official price..."

I don't feel sorry for those first buyers, they are probably 'in' on the behind the curtains part. 🤔

Show the magicians trick, and 'wizard' becomes just play acting.

Never underestimate human stupidity
