An artist did a performance, minted a token, pretends the performance is linked to the token, then sells the token. An artist did a performance, wrote something on a piece of paper, pretends the performance is linked to the paper, then sells the paper.
Both case are the same thing: if one doesn’t believe the "pretend" part the token/paper is worthless. And it really is since there is no tangible connection with the performance: it’s not a token that allows to see it, nor a recording. It’s just someone pretending something. NTF as used now for digital art are a scam.
- freeone3000 6y agoThis seems to me like saying bandcamp selling MP3s is a scam, since the proof of purchase is worthless and you can get the MP3 regardless! It's technically correct and misses the entire point.

- porb121 6y agothere's multiple artists who have sold the instructions for creating a piece of art, along with a certificate that the recreation is a verified one. that was the motivation behind the banana duct taped to a wall that garnered attention at art basel a while back.
