Just to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Beeple is a cult digital artist who has been making digital art, releasing an asset per day, for 13 years straight. Yes, you read that right. One asset per day for 13 years. Most of his works were free. So, $6.6M is not just an overnight luck. It's the return for what he has been investing in for 13 years.
- Voloskaya 6y agothe $6.6M didn't go to Beeple, this art was bought from him for 67k$ last year. $6.6M is the transaction between two collectors.
- ant6n 6y ago> $6.6M is the transaction between two collectors. Or possibly, the transaction between one collector interested in news of the $6.6M transaction.
- kpierce 6y agoYeah there is definitely some shady stuff going on. NFT appeared on my radar a month ago and now its everywhere. IMO this a bubble being artificially inflated by rich marketers. Also in general, people with wealth have given up on investing in real value business. Its high speculation crypto/stocks/shorts now. Not a good sign for the future when some of those risks fall apart.
- cryptica 6y agoTrue. People never cease to underestimate the value of capturing people's attention. Strange considering that attention is the only thing which gives these things any value at all in the first place.
