For me nfts provide an easier way for me to support digital artists I love that I've been following for a while.
I don't really like the collectable scarcity kind of thing, but I like building a collection and having an easy way to explore and find art and artists. Also a lot of these websites are providing this art at higher resolutions and quality than social media would allow for (IPFS) and without direct hosting.
I think it's here to stay in some form but it'll definitely undergo some change.
Not everything exists for function, let's enjoy our time.
- LegitShady 5y agoMassive speculation scam to take advantage of the uninformed. Let them enjoy their time without making digital beanie babies and pretending they have value.
- analog31 5y agoIndeed, and I'm much less skeptical, if it's seen as akin to buying tickets to a concert. The value is in enjoying the music in the present moment, and knowing that the musicians are receiving some income. A concert ticket is an NFT of sorts. Nobody will ever be able to attend that concert again. I own plenty of concert tickets.
- stickfigure 5y agoDid you buy the ticket and skip the concert? How did you feel about paying 30% to ticketmaster?
- analog31 5y agoI've missed concerts that I had tickets for. Fortunately I'm mostly into classical, jazz, fiddling, etc., where Ticketmaster doesn't have much of a presence.
