Internet fame, meme NFTs and million dollar webpage

In this episode of Panoptic Conversations, Tapan and Ishan share their fascination of internet culture, cryptocurrencies and people who have on rare occasions brought these two together. They talk about Zoë Roth who auctioned her photograph using NFTs, popularly recognized as the "Disaster Girl" meme template, for about $500,000 and about Alex Tew who sold every single pixel of a webpage for $1 million in 2006. This led them to an interesting conversation around the internet fame, ideas around virtual assets, NFTs with their problems, and the famous Winklevoss twins.
