What happens if the artist declines to participate in the NFT marketplace, or (gasp!) even in social media altogether? In practice, one of the things that can happen is someone impersonates them, steals their art, mints tokens for it, and the artist gets nothing.
- chrisco255 6y agoThat's a risk in the real world too. It's called forgery, it's an ancient practice. There's a concept called providence for which the art world uses experts to determine authenticity. But in the meantime, if an artist, such as Beeple, who is known publicly and has developed a reputation associated with an Ethereum address, has their art encoded on the blockchain, it's as as good of a title transfer record as any that exist in the physical world, if not better.
