Blockchain Shadows and Monkey JPEGs
Guy in Plato’s Cave: “Okay but what if I owned one of these shadows on the wall, with the blockchain?” Diogenes holding up a monkey jpg with no intrinsic value: “behold! An asset!”
A Twitter exchange jokes about a person in Plato’s Cave trying to claim ownership of shadows using blockchain technology. Diogenes responds by presenting a worthless monkey JPEG as an “asset,” mocking NFTs and speculative digital ownership. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to crypto hype and the idea that blockchain creates intrinsic value.
