Techspace - Rest in Peace, Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom. The news has been spread, broadcasted over the world. Some people mourn, yet there are still some who are looking for opportunity within the sad news. Just after the Queen’s death, part of the NFT community created multiple NFTs that are dedicated to the Queen. Even though the aims of NFT are good, people are questioning their morality at this moment. RIP The Queen Official, Long LIve The Queen, King Charles, and a Queen Elizabeth Yacht Club collection are some digital collectible items found on NFT marketplace.
The NFT community in Twitter splits in two, the one that supports Queen NFT vs the one who opposes the Queen NFT collection. For instance, @ThreadGirl_eth tweeted, “FIrst one to drop a queen nft collection will make bags.” In contradiction, the other said that people should not create NFT based on the Queen’s death.
Only hours after the news spread, people started to create Queen’s NFT, even when the ‘God save the Queen’ hadn't been yelled at that time. Since the NFTs are made in a hurry, most of them aren’t in great shape. There are not many people who are interested in those collections, because they feel that creators can’t read the room at the moment.
