Auction off a non-fungible token of the halfbakery's plate and croissant icon. (See more info on NFTs at the link below.) Shirley some well-to-do baker or alumnus is willing to pay more than the advertised 50¢. Proceeds to bakesperson for continued maintenance and upkeep of the place. And of course
all usage rights would be maintained.
NFTs are just getting underway and are very successful. I understand @jack has the bidding for the first ever tweet up in the 2 millions now.

But which plate and croissant icon? The one you see up
there in the top-left of your screen is not the original one. |
|
| |
Technically (unless we see each others screens in person) we each see a different one. |
|
| |
Some might argue that you see a different one 50 or 60 times a second but that would be silly so let us not argue that. |
|
| |
I recommend the Nyan Cat link for some ideas on both of those observations. |

We are about due another soapy pop aren't we, been a long

I've got a NFT for sale here which represents the
first ever NFT purchase transaction - anyone? |
|
| |
For some odd reason I was expecting the plate and croissant
to become some sort of newfangled halfbaker coat of arms,
or secret society like the skull and bones. |

IMHO, "NFT"s are the personification of "a fool and his
money are soon parted". Spending thousands (or millions) on
something worthless just because some-one else wants it. |
|
| |
It's not fungible, doesn't that mean that no-one else wants it? |
|

Real Estate values in Vegas are entirely based on this
premise. Who wants to live in a desert town where old acts
go to die? |
|
| |
But it is an act you blindly love. |
|
| |
Suddenly NFT seems to be mentioned everywhere. Having
performed a cursory investigation, I think it's something I
can safely ignore entirely. |
