Holy smokes, I've found the *only* good thing to have come out of the NFT bubble.
Zoë Roth, better known as "disaster girl", sold an NFT of her famous meme image for almost half a million dollars, which she used to pay off her student loans.
The best part is she and her family retained copyright over the image, I presume because NFTs don't actually mean anything.
