Sell Your Van Gogh Now

I was gonna start this by predicting in a hundred years you could buy Van Gogh's Night Cafe for a hundred bucks. . .then I stopped and thought about it for a minute.

First, there won't be a hundred bucks in a hundred years.  There will be a hundred Bitcoins or Pokecoins or whatever the cryptocurrency of the day is.  I don't know what cryptocurrency is.  Apparently you can somehow *mine* the shit on a computer by doing some really complicated equation or something.  I don't know how it works. It's money out of thin air, just like our current fiat dollar, so in that regard, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

But anyways. . .even if somebody had a hundred Bitcoins in a hundred years, they wouldn't buy a Van Gogh, because it will be worthless.

Something or somebody called *Beeple* just sold a digital art work (glorified JPG) for 69 million old fashioned dollars. . .

These digital art works are also called NFTs, Non-Fungible Tokens.  I don't know what that shit is, either.  It has something to do with how the digital item is stored on a blockchain, which also I don't know what the fuck that is.

But anyways, this is the wave of the future because it follows two irreversible trends of humanity:

Obesity and stupidity.

I'm not saying this to shit-talk *Beeple's* JPG.  There are some amusing images in it.  But Hell, let's be real, a software program did most of *Beeple's* heavy lifting. Hitler's watercolors have more authentic human artistic merit. . .

But it don't matter. . .

*Beeple's* little pixels are amusing to look at and can be carried on your phone so you can easily show it off shoving it in your friend's face.  And you won't have to drag ass to a museum and actually walk down long corridors to look at some picture you can't fucking understand.  Imagine the human fat-ass in a hundred years huffing and puffing through the Louvre, only to arrive dead-ass exhausted at the Mona Lisa and scratching its head wondering, why, it don't even look like an attractive tranny, even if you tried to Jap anime porn it up by putting a big cock on it.

No.  Humans will be too stupid, too fat.  Museums are dead.

Physical art work is dead.

Some fat-ass in a hundred years is gonna want to haul his lard butt off his gamer chair and try to lift a canvas with an image he can't comprehend to the wall and hang it on a nail?  When they can just pull out their smartphone (or blink their digi-eyelid) and look at this:

Yeah.  This *Nyan Cat* GIF just sold for 300 Ether, some other fucking kind of cryptocurrency which they call, apparently, *gas??*  Anyway, that's worth about six hundred thousand old fashioned dollars.

Human beings are in physical and mental decline.  Art is trending back to the level of sophistication last seen in cave drawings.

I mean really, is there that much difference from the *Nyan Cat* and this cave wall panther drawing from about four thousand years ago?

So, yeah, if you own a Van Gogh, sell it now.  It will be worthless in a hundred years.  In less than a hundred years. Probably less than fifty years.
