Nah, he's just cocking a snoot at those who spend fortunes to buy the latest "must have" items, be that art or other stuff, in order to willy-wave their wealth.
Total brilliance and I raise a well-filled glass to him/her. Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they were always going to have to do from the very beginning: SIT DOWN AND TALK!"

It was surely just for Artist effect because if Banksy wanted to destroy it, he could have used a crosscut shredder. Now that would have caused a stampede as there would have been a piece for everyone.
Brilliant idea and hats off to him. I think he does some wonderful works.

Said he booby trapped it so that if ever sold he could destroy it.
Well that doesn’t add up as either has power connected or a remarkable ‘for life’ battery pack
And that’s before knowing EXACTLY when and where being sold (ok, maybe not that hard), access to trigger it, etc. etc. etc. (The bloke claimed, but not proven, to be Banksy was, allegedly, in the room)
Self promotional stunt. The art is now said to be worth MORE
