The latest “crypto trend” has been parodied by the comedy show Saturday Night Live, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). In a segment explaining these tokens, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, played by Kate McKinnon and Eminem, parodied by Pete Davidson come together to answer the question everyone seems to be asking, what are NFTs?<\/p>\n
With a running time of almost 2 minutes, the segment uses a cover of the popular rap song, “Without Me,” performed by Davidson’s character. Throughout the song, various characters explain the characteristics of NFTs and emphasize at what price some of these digital works have been sold.<\/p>\n
At the moment, SNL’s Twitter post has almost 900,000 views and 17,800 likes. In total, the segment has been shared by more than 6,000 users and has received comments from various personalities within and outside the crypto space. Some consider that the market may have ” topped out”.<\/p>\n
Highly active on this platform, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk was quick to respond, along with one of those responsible for starting the “NFTs craze”, Mike “beeple” Winkelmann. This artist was the first to participate in an auction of one of his works with Christie’s and managed to sell it for $69 million, which he received in ETH<\/a>. News of the event has been endlessly replicated in the traditional media.<\/p>\n NERDS. \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 https:\/\/t.co\/CCBghv7DsY<\/a><\/p>\n — beeple (@beeple) March 28, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
