2022—Super fun read. To prove how centralized NFTs/blockchain has become, moxie made an NFT that changed based on the client you viewed it from.

#OpenSea then removed the NFT from their platform *and* his crypto wallet lmao holy shit.

So as an experiment, I made an NFT that changes based on who is looking at it, since the web server that serves the image can choose to serve different images based on the IP or User Agent of the requester. For example, it looked one way on OpenSea, another way on Rarible, but when you buy it and view it from your crypto wallet, it will always display as a large emoji. What you bid on isn't what you get. There's nothing unusual about this NFT, it's how the NFT specifications are built. Many of the highest priced NFTs could turn into emoji at any time; I just made it explicit.
