I think a lot of it is to just support artists. A kind of charity from universe for artist to continue doing what they are doing. People who are making big money on NFT are already established artists. With physical art, artist sells it once and has no idea where it is. With NFTs, artists can set up royalties for every sale. With block chain, if you can verify address of artist then as a buyer you can guarantee that you are buying original work and also ensures that all (or some during resale) money goes to artist.
- nuerow 5y ago> I think a lot of it is to just support artists. To me that assertion, albeit convenient to paint a rosy picture, doesn't make any sense. No one needs a convoluted technical scheme to support artists as donating cash is easy and effortless. Buying the rights to a work from an artist also does not require a convoluted technical scheme, and considering that NFTs haven't been used to enforce any right then that hypothesis is also highly dubious. What NFTs offer is the ability to perform transactions, and ones which don't have any artist or provenance in consideration.

- thephyber 5y agoI read it as the spiritual idea that the universe is active in things like karma / prosperity gospel. I don't agree with it and I suspect this type of thinking captures lots of fools, but I would grant that it does "mean something".
- e9 5y agoThere is little spiritual or foolish in this. When you solve a problem in a creative way, be it a cool application of an algorithm, a feature, a product, a clever bug fix, a clever marketing campaign, new way to raise money, etc, you get rewarded.
