While fortunes have been made and some NFTs sold for thousands of dollars, I am inclined to believe this guy is right … https://www.news.com.au/finance/money/investing/crypto-expert-says-mumanddad-investors-are-going-to-get-absolutely-wrecked/news-story/540f7f6e40be322726ae866ba617ae4b
The pursuit of the thylacine has taken me to strange places, both physically and mentally.
Subtle eye rolls and outright guffaws are expected responses to one’s belief that the thylacine still exists, but thankfully the older I get the less I care.
Regardless, knowing the animals are still here makes one resilient to the most passionate assertions of the extinction mantra.

Or, like the thylacine hunt (so far), am I on another possibly futile pursuit?
What I can assure is that if the NFT sells, some of the cash will be reinvested into extending my network of cameras, and into aerial surveys.
