Says “I ain’t nothing but a crypto hound dog”
MEMPHIS, TN – The ghost of Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, has been spotted browsing for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in a Graceland gift shop, according to eyewitnesses. The sighting has sent shockwaves through the crypto community and has reignited the age-old debate about the existence of life after death.
“I was just browsing through the Graceland gift shop when I saw him – the unmistakable silhouette, the iconic pompadour hairdo, and those swiveling hips,” said Priscilla Beaulieu, a long-time fan of the late singer. “He was looking at some NFT art on a display screen, nodding his head, and mumbling something about ‘getting in on the crypto craze.'”
Beaulieu’s account is corroborated by several other eyewitnesses who claim to have seen the King’s ghost browsing through the digital collectibles on offer. “He was definitely checking out the NFTs,” said Elvis impersonator Chip E. Velvet. “I heard him say something like, ‘I ain’t nothing but a crypto hound dog.'”
Experts in the field of paranormal studies are not surprised by the sighting. “Elvis was always ahead of his time,” said Dr. Ectoplasm Manifester, a renowned ghost hunter and author of the best-selling book “Spectral Entities and Digital Currencies.” “It’s only natural that he would be interested in cutting-edge technologies like NFTs.”
The sighting has also sparked a heated debate among crypto enthusiasts and skeptics alike. “This is just the kind of mainstream validation that the NFT space needs,” said Cryptobro McHodler, a self-proclaimed “crypto influencer” and founder of the “Ape Coin” cryptocurrency. “If Elvis is buying NFTs, you know they’re the real deal.”
However, not everyone is convinced. “This is just another example of the NFT craze spiraling out of control,” said Dr. Scrooge McDuck, a vocal critic of digital assets. “First, we had people buying pictures of rocks and now we have people claiming to have seen the ghost of Elvis buying NFTs. It’s all just a big pyramid scheme.”
Regardless of the skepticism, the sighting has already had a tangible impact on the NFT market. Sales of Elvis-themed NFTs have skyrocketed, with one digital collectible featuring a 3D rendering of the King’s iconic “Jailhouse Rock” dance moves selling for a staggering 69.42 Ethereum (ETH) on the popular NFT marketplace, OpenSea.
