00:00Hi, I'm Roger, and I'm here to tell you about the exciting world of non-fungible tokens.
00:07Art isn't something you enjoy.
00:09It's just another commodity we joylessly buy and sell in our latest attempt to trick capitalism's moribund putt-putt engine
00:18into hacking up a few more shiny tokens at us.
00:22I'll explain for you emotional pudding-headed wimps who look at art because it makes you feel things.
00:30Back in the stupid ages, I could own a nice Rembrandt, and you could own, oh, I don't know...
00:39Oh, that's...
00:40Pregnant Sonic the Hedgehog on Soiled Arby's Napkin.
00:44That's a... mayonnaise stain.
00:49Sure it is.
00:53But why waste all that time hanging a painting in your home like you're some sort of Renaissance baronet
01:00when you could just pay to associate your name with a JPEG of a fecund echidna?
01:06So you're saying that I should collect art by purchasing exclusive ownership to a piece someone posted online?
01:11What is this, the 31st century?
01:14No, you can only pay to associate your name with a URL where an image is located.
01:21Sure, everyone else on the planet can still look at it, but you can rest easy in the knowledge
01:26that you're the only one who owns a computer picture of Master Chief making sweet love to Mega Man.
01:34And that undeniable fact will be stored forever on a blockchain,
01:39the great chain that records transactions between tech bros named Bryce for all of digital eternity.
01:47Okay, but what happens if the URL goes offline?
01:50Yeah, that shit's gone.
