As if we needed more proof that monetary value is arbitrary and capitalism is based on a lie we all choose to believe, a digital Pepe the Frog trading card was just sold at an IRL auction for some serious cash.
The one-of-a-kind Homer Pepe (https://steemit.com/homerpepe/@fminerten1/homerpepe-rare-pepe-card) sold to the auction's lucky winner for 350,000 in the digital currency PepeCash. At the time of sale, that amounted to freaking $39,000.*
Homer Pepe is just like Homer Simpson. But, ya know, frighteningly green with a Pepe smile. To top it off, the beloved cartoon character turned monster is positioned on a background of Simpson clouds!
