Clement's money score beaten.

Move over Clement Moore, a girl beat you to the punch. She got even more mulah than you did. And is not at all dead.

Arch Hades, that lucky child, got the complete package, author, artist and poet...jealous of her much!

A great poet whose work sold for a significant amount. Hades' poem "Arcadia" sold for $525,000 at a Christie's auction in New York. This sale made it the most expensive poem ever sold. The poem was part of a collaboration with contemporary visual artist Andrés Reisinger and Grammy-winning musician RAC, and it was sold as a fine art NFT".

"What in tarnation is NFT", asked Shakespeare.

"Non-fungible token", chimed in Arch, arriving at the party late. Traffic was murder and crazy into the land of Dead Poets Society.

Tsk, tsk, went the poets, glaring at the living among the departed.

"And what, pray is that NFT". Dickinson asked, quite puzzled.

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are unique cryptographic tokens that exist on a blockchain and cannot be replicated. Here's how they work:

Unique Ownership: NFTs represent ownership of specific digital or physical items, such as art, music, virtual real estate, gaming assets, and collectibles.

Blockchain Technology: NFTs are stored on a blockchain, ensuring their authenticity and uniqueness.

Efficient Trading: Tokenizing real-world assets makes buying, selling, and trading more efficient and reduces fraud risk.

Diverse Applications: NFTs can represent identities, property rights, and more.

"That explains nothing, dear". Emily was still puzzled, they had all slept through these strange transactions.

"Forget NFT's, Maya (the only one besides Arch and the strange living guy in the corner who remotely understood what was being said) said. "We can't use it here anyway. Tell us more about this Arch person. I am intrigued".

"I too, would like to hear the story". Moore said.

"Well, you can go read Antoni's next article about her". Said the strange guy, sounding quite frustrated.

"Fine, I will, thank you". Said Clement Moore in a huff. he really wanted to know who this person was.

Hey guys, there is hope for us who are alive. She got famous posting on Instagram.

Are NFT's a fancy way of bartering in modern day society. Because I would be ok to exchange stuff for stuff.

But Would I exchange a house for a poem by a famous 'resting in peace' lovely poet, or a very much living one. Not if I am as broke as I am now.

Rich people do rich. Us other folks do survival stuff. Sensible stuff.

But after listening to Hades' poem. I too, would collaborate in a record deal, movie deal or similar venture and pay her for her words if I could. Go, please take a listen. It is really soul searching and deep.

I wonder what Hades got in the form of NFTs. Apparently, her poem is kind of priceless in its execution. It speaks to our human situation in today's world.
