I laughed so hard at the meme. Like I actually LOL'd.

I really appreciate this explanation. I'm just really starting to understand these concepts for the first time and so everyone who uses any kind of analogy on here is my immediate BFF. I do have a question for you, though -- say I do sell tokens, (shares, essentially?) of the famous painting hanging in my museum. If the price skyrockets and I never sell it, what value does that give my token holders? Or are they making money based on museum ticket sales? Sorry, that may have turned into a philosophy question somewhere along the way.
