Some lucky person just became a millionaire by opening a pack of cards for the game Magic The Gathering. According to reports It’s a 1/1 card of “The One Ring,” meaning there’s only one like it in the entire world.
Rich fans have been offering up to two million actual dollars for it, which is roughly 68 Bitcoin at current rates.
Crazy to think some piece of cardboard would be worth that much

Either I don't understand MTG or I don't understand money or I don't understand both of them.
So it looks like rapper Post Malone has purchased the card, people are so desperate to have something rare and scarce, and to me this is a sign that the money is broken if someone is willing to pass 2 million bucks just to own a card
Post Malone likely rich. So to him the price might not be a lot. Plus rare magic cards have only increased in value over time.
I think it's a part of the human condition to appreciate pieces of nostalgia and sentimentality. Some people will pay more for this.
