Good, NFTs are terrible and anyone who buys one should be ashamed of themself
Sure, the NFT current scene is extremely overvalued and filled with fraudsters and low effort cash grabs, but once that implodes, I think it's great if artists will have a means to sell digital art to a wide audience.
Tech dudes with tech salaries hating on an avenue for artists to make a living should be ashamed of themselves.
But it's rare, and usually involves actual involvement with the creator, not some scummy mass production scam like Bored Apes.
I don’t necessarily think it’s logical to collect DVDs, toys, concert merchandise, or NFTs, but if humanity appears to enjoy it, and it thus creates a sizeable revenue stream for artists, what is the harm?
Your way is logical, but will in fact not have the same result.
If the NFT itself contained the artists signature of the actual work, the bits in a PNG or similar, as well as the license for that work, then that would be something at least.
I could have just right clicked, and saved it, and used it as a profile pic on twitter. But that seemed weird, what if the person who DID pay for it used it too. That would make me kind of a dick.
Now, wanting a world where nobody can buy 'Patek Philippe' watches is not a world I want to live in. If you feel that your life is more complete with a $25k watch, that is your business. This doesnt stop me from wanting to make fun of someone wasting a year of after-tax earnings of the average person for some jewelry that tells the time no better than my phone.
As a person that very much dislikes conspicuous consumption, I feel it has no value to me. Ill be stackin' sats.
