This is the most :capitalism:-brained thing I've ever heard

Pros:
1+2) It will increase it's scarcity (available for free online)
3) It's so stupid people will watch it (does not generate revenue)

Making a video of destroying something and then selling the video as an NFT. Then maybe you can sell the video of you making the video as an NFT derivative, and then the video of you making the video of making the video as a derivative of the derivative, and so on.

This would be great for people like me who probably can't afford the original burning NFT but once you go down the chain a few times I'll be able to buy a piece of history!!!

I use this timestamp generator that makes autoupdating "this thing will happen in X hours" inserts for Discord. https://hammertime.djdavid98.art/

It now offers me the option to buy any given timestamp. "Own a piece of history! Time is a valuable asset, and this specific timestamp could be yours starting at just .216 ETH."
