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.
