And today, inThe Simpsons S35 E5 Treehouse of Horror XXXIVAn episode about NFTs appeared, with the plot synopsis being that Bart Simpson was made into the first human NFT by a machine, and was then rescued from the virtual NFT world by Marge Simpson.

Everything is ready, the east wind blows

Soon, Italian artistRino RussoReleased the punk-style Simpsons NFT “Springfield Punks” with a tweet that read “Bart went NFT in Treehouse of Horror XXXIV, now celebrate with Springfield Punks’ free mint。”

The end of the story has been written

Ironically, the main theme of the series was originally to show peoples excessive FOMO and the eventual collapse of NFT.

After Bart Simpson became an NFT, his father, Homer J. Simpson, first said, Ive lost a part of me forever, but after seeing the price of the NFT reaching $1.5 million, he immediately turned to excitedly shouting YES!!!(Because Bart is the first human NFT.)

When Marge Simpson is about to rescue Bart, Homer is even willing to sell Bart for $100 million, even though this will keep Bart trapped on the blockchain forever. Homer said:

After everything I missed, there was an opportunity not to miss—the housing bubble, the tech bubble, the second tech bubble, and now the tech bubble—this time I wanted to be the one to give it all away.

Eventually, Homer “became an NFT” for $100 million, but the FOMO came to an abrupt end and the price flashed to $0.05.

Back to reality: What’s the end of an anti-FOMO story that turns out to be the source of FOMO, with Springfield Punks prices continuing to rise? It may have been revealed in the animation...
