It’s one banana, what could it cost, 6.2 million?
Anyone who says the rich deserve to BE rich because they are “clever businessmen” need to repeatedly kicked in the balls.
Most folks could live comfortably for the rest of their lives on what this idiot spent on a banana.
All people really…
For anyone else wondering:
“The artwork owner is given a certificate of authenticity that the work was created by Cattelan as well as instructions about how to replace the fruit when it goes bad.”
Ductaping a banana on a wall needs instructions?
The type of idiot that pays 6.2 million dollars for a duct taped banana exhibit needs those instructions.
Howtobasic taught me how to touch wall with apple
I’ll never understand spending that money like that instead of helping kids with cancer.
Probably one of the several reasons why I am not rich.
You know spending money doesn’t make it vanish into the air right? Someone else has the 6.2 million, and it can still help kids with cancer.
I never thought I’d ever see someone argue against helping kids with cancer DIRECTLY when we have excess in the palm our hands, and yet here we are.
So you’re saying he should have wasted that banana when there’s children starving in Africa?
No you plant the banana and let it multiply so you can dig them up in the warm season and feed many
Sadly, that’s not how bananas work.

Yeah you put them in the ground and then the flowers bloom on the tap root that comes out the end of the banana. They are then fertilised by earth worms and once the bananas ripen you then pull them out as the bunch we all know and love.
wtf alien banana are you talking about
You’re mad at the wrong person. He only has a banana. The banana “artist” has $6.2 million now. Why aren’t they helping kids with cancer? I suggest you go yell at them.
Do you think someone spends $6.2 million on fruit if they don’t have an extra few million? He had $6.2 million at MINIMUM, and he chose to eat a banana instead of healing children.
I think it’s perfectly fair to be mad at a person for the actions they took.
Some gifter who managed to convince the world that a banana was worth 6.2 million dollars has that money. They won’t be helping anyone but themselves.
I hope crypto-bro stole that 6.2 million from a cartel, and his next video involves people with machetes showing him how they feel about it.
It’s even worse than that. The banana isn’t the actual thing valued at that price. It’s the exhibit, an abstract arbitrary concept. The banana and duct tape get replaced periodically. This person is just eating a banana for the attention.
But it wont.
Fuck this insufferable world.
surely the banana is rotten by now wasn’t this years agoyup he just replaced the banana so he just ate… a banana, which he could’ve done with every previous banana that went rotten too if he doesn’t mind soft bananasThere’s never been a better time to reference Arrested Development;
“There’s ALWAYS, money, in the Banana Stand”
wow that is a very long article to say bullshit
I respect every part except “crypto entrepreneur”.
Banana as Veblen good

Damn, this makes me sad
The money wouldn’t be better off sitting in his bank account.
??
He spent $6m on something. If he didn’t spend it, it’d just be sitting in a bank. At least now it’s out in the wild.
NFT artists kind of hide behind the oldschool art world to justify it…
I think it shows how stupid that world is.
The point of art is to move people, to make them think and feel something by conveying the artist’s thoughts, not be a store of value. And while I’ve been to museums with gorgeous pieces, if you’re paying millions for a painting, at some point most of that value is the gratification of hoarding it. That same money could buy you an incredible experience in today’s art landscape, but it’s not about the experience, is it? And NFTs are like the perfect deconstruction of that.
That being said, OP I am downvoting your post because eyeballs are exactly what crypto bros want, no offense :P
