Why are you calling artists making a fair living off their work grifters and scammers? What's your problem?
- bsenftner 6y agoArtist making a fair living sell their art, this selling of NFTs is not them selling their art, they are selling an immaterial bragging right. It's insane.
- adnzzzzZ 6y agoIt's irrelevant what it is or isn't, people are paying money for their art. How can you tell someone like this guy https://twitter.com/deekaymotion https://twitter.com/deekaymotion who recently starting making good money off his work that he's a grifter?
- iamacyborg 6y agoWhat proportion of the NFT mania is actually artists making money vs grifters and scammers making money?
- adnzzzzZ 6y agoIf there are artists making money that previously weren't then that proportion is irrelevant. It's a completely voluntary system, no one is forced to use it or care about it.
- iamacyborg 6y agoExcept for the many artists who are having their work stolen.
- bsanr2 6y agoThose are unauthorized. Too bad to the collectors who gave their money to scammers, but those NFTs are worthless the moment the artist declares them forgeries.
- iamacyborg 6y agoWorthless according to who? It's not like the artist can take ownership of the NFT
- bsanr2 6y agoThe value of an NFT is in its provenance, just as with traditional works. If you forge a Mondrian, it won't be worth as much as an original Mondrian. It's even worse for NFTs since anyone can own the file data; the value of the NFT is almost purely its relationship to the artist.
