Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Sotheby's auction house will auction EtherRock NFTs, a move that has caused a bit of a stir in both the traditional art space and the crypto scene. Launched before NFTs became widespread, EtherRocks are simply clipart images of rocks and are considered both an absurdity and a commentary on the nature of valuables. These 'useless' items have sparked controversy, highlighting debates about what the NFT space should represent. However, they are not all that different from other forms of modern art.
