This is a great example of the right-clicker mentality.
Sure, you can make your own gold-coated steak for 65GBP, but then you don't have the satisfaction, flex, clout that comes from having eaten at Salt Bae's restaurant.
The value is not in the cost of the steak.

Go ahead, make yourself a gold-coated steak at home. Post a picture of it on Instagram. See how much clout it gets you.
Salt Bae's dish costs 1500GBP because people want to pay 1500GBP to show off that they can afford to pay that much. It's all about the flex.

A nice little tale for the people on the bottom rung who are buying into these exorbitant artworks! It shouldn't surprise me that people are paying such huge sums of money for so little when you think of how much money people put into MLM's every year.

Fun fact: the guy who got some of his NFT's stolen, mentioned in the article from VICE, is an MLM guy. his twitter header literally says "12 years network marketing experience."
