        Of course they are. It's a one off and probably more valuable now.

        1.4m on some shredded paper. Don't know if you guys know but we have people without food and education on the world. Banksy's work critic this exactly behavior, stupid use of money.

        Better to spend it on art than to hoard it in the bank. Banksy can then use that money to fund whatever charities they’d like.

        Better spend it on making the world better than just satisfying your own ego. Just my opinion.

        You can’t dictate how other people spend their money. No use getting bent about it. Besides that, art is a worthwhile way to make the world better. Beauty in simple things is part of what makes life worthwhile.

        Isn’t the whole point to mock greed? So if you still bought the painting, you’re a hypocrite? Curious if banksy wanted it to shred the whole way or naw.

        The irony here is that banksy did this to prove a point , and make a statement about art and destruction and mainly greed. He destroyed his on art publicly and it's now worth even more money than before , he is next level philosophical.

        obviously, the price was raised with this new story in the painting, it becomes an anecdote
