NFTs have proven incredible for indie digital artists across the world, but particularly for artists from the third world where making a living off them is a bit easier. There’s a huge honest indie art movement on the Tezos NFT space.
Good places to look around in:
Fxhash (amazing generative art market that creates uniques through interaction between the code and the blockchain)
Hic Et Nunc (now multiple sites, fully decentralised art market)
OBJKT (sort of a better UI for Tezos NFTs, same stuff as in Hic).

- kranke155 5y agoNobody trusts a single SQL database or any single developer or company. The advantage is that you have a trust less, decentralised database no one can alter and has thousands of people hosting it. This is a common fallacy I’ve seen among developers - the idea that because the technical solution is inferior it’s social value must be inferior. Blockchain is not a technical solution, it’s a social solution. At least as far as NFTs it has solved an insoluble problem, which was no one trusted anyone in particular with a ledger about digital art ownership - but they do trust everyone/a a large group that’s incentivised to keep hosting it, and has problem to be tampering resistant.
