CELEB TWEETS
* Whitney Cummings (@WhitneyCummings): Okay, I’m not ruling out Bitcoin but we are also the same species who lost their mind over Beanie Babies so forgive me if I‘m a bit sceptical.
* Osita Nwanevu (@OsitaNwanevu): My biggest fear with NFTs is that they’ll collapse in a gradual, boring way rather than in a rapid, funny way.
* Tim Carvell (@timcarvell): (Just quietly and unexpectedly reflecting on the excellent judgment of Kim Cattrall.)
