> An NFT is like a piece of paper titled with the name of the artwork and signed by the artist.
I know nothing about NFTs, but in the last few days I’ve seen a few people turn their Twitter accounts private where they previously posted their artworks. Supposedly to prevent sales of NFTs of their art without their approval. No idea if that’s a real issue or not. However there is another comment here saying they sold a NFT of Mona Lisa. It seems that a “piece of paper with a, possibly forged, signature” might be a better comparison.

I guess like with every new crypto pyramid scheme, a bunch of fraudsters show up trying to profit from the FOMO. Have a look at https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag for some examples of what one artist is facing right now.
- bitbuilder 6y agoI'm having a hard time believing what I just read. Posting his work as an NFT without his permission is of course ridiculous, but then to viciously lash out at the artist not being ok with this? It's just unbelievable to me that people can think this way. These people sold someone else's art, and then called him a luddite for not being ok with it.
- deckard1 6y ago> then called him a luddite for not being ok with it. yeah, my jaw dropped. Holy shit. Every time I enter the crypto twittersphere, I'm more convinced it's all just a huge cult. Half zealots and true believers and half trolls. Much like QAnon. "You don't understand it's the future!" No, no I'm quite capable of understanding. The internet brought a lot of like-minded people together under a shared mass delusion.

- superfamicom 6y agoI've seen a few places accepting anything, mostly with smaller NFT ideas: - https://twitter.com/ricardojuchem/status/1369957369833226241 https://twitter.com/ricardojuchem/status/1369957369833226241 - https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/1369661661146193925 https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/136966166114619392... - https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/1369682715969208327 https://twitter.com/simonstalenhag/status/136968271596920832...
