The Turning Point:
PleasrDAO enacts a bold move in acquiring 'Shaolin' post-Shkreli at a government auction for a cool $4 million, minting an ownership-deed NFT to split the album's value amongst themselves.
“This is like the OG NFT. The original fight against the middlemen who are rent-seeking. Crypto is the same ethos. Wu-Tang Clan was prescient in understanding that conflict,” - Jamis Johnson Chief Pleasing Officer @ PleasrDAO
