The torrent of altcoins and NFTs leading to accusations that creators are attempting to capitalize on Her Majesty's death has continued to increase. Is this a bad look for crypto? Maybe. Capitalizing on the dead is usually considered tasteless. But what about the news stations? What about the coverage of the event and the details of any news story with a sad ending. (Or happy depending on how you're looking at things.) Should the news stations turn off the big shiny profit button for the time being? Should the authors, contributors, workers, gophers and other creative-goers just consider it a donation for the time being until mourning has passed? Is it really ever too soon to turn a profit? Nah.
Here's the thing. The right way to look at news of a persons passing is to focus on the celebration of the life that was.
I'm not saying to be purposefully disrespectful of the person no longer with us but to focus on the good they left behind. If some crypto weirdos want to make some NFT's or whatever sharing the digital likeness of the recently deceased, hopefully they'll do it in a respectful way. Just making art isn't disrespectful. Sensitive individuals are sure to whine and fuss over things like because they sure do a lot of that in general on a normal day. Focus on the good. Be good. Make good stuff. And quit your whining. Please.
