Currently at #183. Regarding my asking price of €190 for my mint-condition shirt #4, some people say I need to have more faith and HODL. Others say I’m contributing to a worse society by trying to find the next greater fool.

What stops a Chinese factory to print a 1000 shirts with 0004 embroidered and shipped all over the world? This is just a NFT esque grift.

Usually there are ways to tell counterfeit from a real item.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Weren't 182 t-shirts sold? That would put the total amount made to 16,653. But yes, that's the way to calculate it.

I think you're right. A price of 183 means that the seller is offering it to potential buyers at 183, not that it has sold at 183. So your calculation is correct.

I know it's completely different, but somehow feels similar to the Million Dollar Homepage. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage

Went ahead and headed over to the MDH and clicked on 20 links. Only two worked. Wondermark.com (apparently a comic strip) and... SendShit.co.uk. lol.

It is actually a reasonable use case for a NFT

Not sure why you are downvoted. This is indeed the exact use case for which NFTs were invented.
