I have genuinely spent 10 minutes starting at this but, no, it really DOES appear to be true that a bunch of cryptobros just spent €2.6 MILLION - 100x the asking price - for a book at auction in the mistaken belief that they would therefore own the copyright in it.

@sillyferns @garybrannan @thegrugq The book has already existed longer than any of these NFT projects. Digitizing this into an NFT will probably mean losing it forever unless some kind soul rips the whole thing and puts up a torrent or uploads it to an archive. Since this is like 50/50 a rug pull.
@sillyferns @garybrannan @thegrugq Holy shit I'm getting tagged in pyramid schemes just for saying en eff tee once in a reply to a reply. Fuck these people for real.
