ScheiTem

ScheiTem is a term that has gained traction in certain online communities, particularly those discussing digital art and cryptocurrency. It is generally understood to refer to the creation or acquisition of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that are perceived as low-quality, derivative, or intentionally crude. The "Schei" part of the term is a Dutch word for excrement, implying a lack of value or artistic merit. The "Tem" likely originates from "item," referring to the digital asset itself.

The concept of ScheiTem is often used humorously or ironically. Collectors or creators might engage with ScheiTem as a form of commentary on the NFT market's speculative nature and the sometimes overwhelming volume of digital assets being produced. It can also be a way to poke fun at the perceived absurdity of high-value digital art, by intentionally creating or collecting items that are the opposite.

While some view ScheiTem as a playful subversion of market trends, others might see it as contributing to the noise and perceived devaluation of digital art. The value, if any, associated with ScheiTem is typically not monetary but rather cultural within the specific online communities that understand and participate in the concept. It highlights the subjective nature of value and artistic appreciation in the digital age.
