Tupac Shakur’s NFTs are… Worthless?
Tupac Shakur was one of the most influential rappers in the world and one would think that his NFTs are priceless and would sell for thousands of dollars. He might have been a legendary musician and performer with a tragic story, but his NFTs don’t seem to reflect that.
Laurence Dotson held onto photos of Tupac Shakur for almost 30 years before trying to sell them to the highest bidder. He didn’t want to have the old-school auction; instead, he tried to sell them as NFTs (nonfungible tokens).
Still, despite all the coverage made by RollingStone and other famous online magazines, the auction didn’t go as expected. None of Tupac’s NFTs were sold! Maybe the price was too high? The journalist put a price tag of 25 ETH on them (around $100,000 at the time), and no one was willing to pay so much for one photo of the rapper. Disappointed, Laurence Dotson decided to try his luck with private buyers.
