Just when we actually start to think there are intelligent People in this world, then this news comes up 🤐

Chinese-born cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun has eaten the banana from Maurizio Cattelan's $6.2 million artwork, "Comedian," at a news conference in Hong Kong. Sun purchased the infamous piece, a banana duct-taped to a wall, from a Sotheby's auction in New York. During the event, he drew parallels between the ephemeral nature of the artwork and the concept of cryptocurrencies and NFTs.

The banana has previously been eaten twice, but never by someone who paid for it. Sun's stunt adds a new chapter to the artwork's history, illustrating the intersection of art and digital assets. Attendees at the conference received a banana and duct tape as souvenirs, symbolizing the art piece. Sun's action has sparked discussions on the value and perception of contemporary art and digital currencies.
