420SA Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Quote A South African entrepreneur recently bought rare cannabis seeds, and digital art, at a non-fungible token (NFT) auction for approximately R224,000. South Africans are slowly becoming more accustomed to the global NFT craze which has created overnight millionaires through the sale of digital artworks. A gallery based in Cape Town managed to get R59,000 for a digital artwork auctioned in March and a local NFT marketplace was launched a month later with backing from sports stars and celebrities....

Totemic Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Yeah it's the art that pushed the price... Not the seeds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you compare them to InHouse Genetics? I see 7 regulars goes for about R2300 on B&B and that is quite a stiff price.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsyCLown Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 NFT's are quite interesting and seeing more and more popularity. @John Stonedwell I am going to assume it is more the exclusivity which is used to try justify the price. Only 36 packs of the below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With so many strains readily available around the world, rare really isn't rare anymore... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prom Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Paying for a very special clone is one thing... for regular seeds... something else They still make 36k$ on that batch of seeds... other way to cash in. Make em scarce.. only worth if they spend a decade on selection. I doubt that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkunkPharm Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I also think it must be the art that pushed the price. I think it is kak though. Is art not suppose to make you feel something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will cost less too. Different strokes for different folks. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
