xkcd predicted NFTs in 2008

hana @dumbcontract2 xkcd predicted nfts in 2008 WITH THE COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR, THE GOVERNMENT HAS ENDORSED AN ALTERNATE CURRENCY. YOUR MONETARY WORTH IS NOW DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF FUNNY PICTURES SAVED TO YOUR HARD DRIVE. I HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS MOMENT MY WHOLE LIFE.

An edited social media post shows an xkcd-style comic about the collapse of the dollar and a fictional currency based on the number of funny pictures saved to a hard drive. A stick figure stands beside an old computer, proudly claiming to have prepared for this moment all their life. The joke compares collecting memes to owning NFTs and frames a huge meme archive as sudden financial wealth.
