So selling NFT is indeed a separate source of revenue from donations.
it's the same magic value assigned to art pieces themselves.
It doesn't matter whether those buyers of NFTs make a profit or not - i don't care. I personally don't believe NFTs have value, but i can understand how other people could believe they do.
The artist sold their work. You could argue that the concept of digital "ownership" is in itself a scam, but that's up to the buyer to decide. It's not like there's a call to action that you can't be e-cool unless you buy a NFT.
He's essentially being paid to encourage FOMO among other artists so that the hype train continues and people continue to throw their money into the space. It's 2021's fresh take on the influencer model, but instead of shilling weight-loss pills they're shilling crypto. Is that a noble pursuit? The answer generally depends on whether you hold crypto or not.
I hold no crypto and have no intent to do so, but artists actually getting paid for their work for once is a win in my books
Does the source of the money not matter? Millions of people, many of whom are artists, are being scammed out of their money to pump the value of ETH, but since some artists are getting paid with the proceeds, everyone is absolved. That doesn't sit right with me.
Still can’t believe the price that people are paying for NFTs. I’m all for dropping money on art, but when inflation is at “8.5%” and you see the amount of money these are selling for…
Sure you can do it online, but I think it'd be neat to walk around looking at .webms like you'd look at physical paintings. (and not in the metaverse please)
