Esquire magazine's article about Beeple and NFTs began with a riddle: What features a naked former president lying prostrate in the grass, cannot be touched or held in your hands, is free to download for anyone with an internet connection, and costs millions of dollars?

And it didn't even touch, at that point, who/what a Beeple might be or an NFT, for that matter.

If you're interested in exploring the rabbit hole that is NFTs, Annie mentioned a couple of places to start: digital marketplace OpenSea and Rarible, for two. The Esquire article also mentions several more.
