Grimes, Beeple, Logan Paul, the creator of Nyan Cat, and many other artists and celebrities are making huge amounts of money selling the ownership of digital images.

Generate random fake identities with Linux command line:
- Open a terminal
- Write
sudo apt install rig
- You will be prompted to write your sudo password (usually is the same you use to login)
- Wait for rig to install and then write
