“# OpenSea collector ‘pulls the rug’ on NFTs to highlight arbitrary value <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

A crypto artist known as neitherconfirm<\/em> recently\u00a0listed<\/a>\u00a026 non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, for sale on OpenSea’s digital marketplace. Things took an unexpected turn earlier today, however, after the artist\u00a0changed<\/a>\u00a0the images associated with each token from computer generated portraits into photos of literal carpets.<\/p>\n

The pieces, which originally featured people and animal faces in a seemingly stained glass style, are now nothing more than an expensive metaphor for why you can\u2019t trust the store-of-value proposition of any asset that maintains an aspect of centralized control.<\/p>\n

I just pulled the rug at my NFT collection on @opensea<\/a> . Nobody got hurt.
It is pretty easy to change the jpg, even if it does not belong to me or it is on auction. I am the artist, my decision, right?
