I have a hard enough time explaining what a rotary telephone is to my children.

I don't know how people are going to explain in a few years that there was this brief window where people were buying monkey jpegs for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And that the folks who were saying that was a bad idea were being treated like THEY were the morons in the scenario.

Not much different from trading Hockey cards, Beanie Babies and antiques. Digital collectibles don't fill up your garage and smell funny though.
@derickc yep it's definitely convenient that something totally worthless also happens to be odorless and massless.
@rodhilton yes many of them are worthless, but some are part of exciting projects that I'm happy to support. Very similar to supporting a Kickstarter project.
