The Lord of the Rings star is a committed collector of NFT art, and the work he posted about — a golden bust of a zombie — seemed innocuous enough. The zombie bust was by George Trosley, a 74-year-old artist who had previously published racist cartoons. inputmag.com/culture/elijah

Given the pretty direct financial exposures, with no intermediaries to take the heat/fall/blame… when you get canceled in Web3, you get canceled in real life. Something to think about. While well-deserved in this case, it might not be in future cases.

There’s no due process or editorial protection barrier. The exposures are as direct as the stock market, but unlike the stock market, this is pure social-proof based. Being a contrarian based on a different reading of fundamentals won’t help. The ground truth IS social here.
