The existence of one NFT per human being, as well as the Pixelmon debate

As a social experiment, a Dutch artist created a collection of NFTs totaling 7.9 billion – the same number of people on the planet.

Dadara, a Dutch artist, and RAIRtech, a digital rights management platform, have created a collection of 7.9 billion identical nonfungible tokens (NFTs).

The CryptoGreymen collection is hosted on the Polygon (MATIC) Ethereum scaling network. Although each NFT is identical, they will be allocated a serial number of up to 7.9 billion to reflect the current estimated population of humans on Earth.

Dadara intends for the collection to be a social experiment that "can rattle the cage of agreed reality and enhance dialogue." In an official statement, he stated that the sociological experiment is simple,

“No one specific NFT is better than another, and because the minting price is widely accessible it will be interesting to see what value each individual CryptoGreyman holder brings.”

In addition to serving as a social experiment, 2,222 CryptoGreymen will be locked in a treasury to be used as educational gadgets by the non-profit Movement on the Ground for refugees who need to learn how to set up a cryptocurrency wallet. The Movement on the Ground attempts to elevate the acceptance of refugees worldwide.

Each item is a pixelated replica of Dadara's Greyman from the 1990s.

Pixelmon is causing a stir

When the project revealed the finalized art for the project over the weekend, early minters of the Pixelmon NFT collection were met with a collective case of buyer's remorse.

Each NFT was produced for three Ether (ETH), which is around $2,900 today, but the collection's floor price on the OpenSea NFT marketplace is currently 0.36 ETH ($1,051) at the time of writing. The initiative raised approximately $70 million in total.

Following the introduction, there were instant claims that the initiative had pulled the rug out from under investors due to the collection's poor aesthetic quality.

So @Pixelmon raised over $70m at 3 ETH per mint just for them to reveal like this. I think it’s fair to say all the buyers were rugged.

The roadmap revealed ahead of time displayed sharp, crisp art for each character in the collection which will become a game. Investors may have expected their NFTs to contain similar artistic qualities.

The actual art for the NFTs, on the other hand, varied widely in style. They are extremely pixelated copies of the characters represented in the roadmap, with the Kevin character becoming a joke in the NFT community.

so let me get this straight:

pixelmon pulled off one of the most insane heists ever, is currently selling for 0.4, and you mfs are buying "Kevin" which was named by the community for over 3+ ETH as a fuckin meme

AND THEN someone makes a Kevin mfer
