Starbucks' crypto marketplace is selling pictures of coffee cups for $1,000
Pictures of coffee cups are changing hands on Starbucks’ NFT marketplace for around $1,000. We all know that Starbucks has somehow made us pay extravagant prices for what is, fundamentally, flavored hot water. In New York, a "venti toasted Graham" currently goes for $6.88. But we comfort ourselves with the thought that even though we might be overpaying, we were still getting some actual caffeine in actual coffee in an actual cup. Starbucks’ is so expensive — compared to regular coffee — that giving up your daily Starbucks habit has often been touted as a way to get rich. Shawn Carter, a writer for Forbes, once calculated that Starbucks costs him $2,300 a year. But now, Starbucks is offering you a much faster way to get rich: if you were lucky enough to obtain a “Holiday Cheer Edition 1 Stamp” last year — there were only 5,000 of them! — you could expect to sell it on for $1,000, according to Starbucks’ Odyssey NFT marketplace. There have been 210 sales in the secondary market since the collection launched four months ago.
