The author, thinking NFTs were stupid to begin with, spent a significant amount of time and money creating a reductio ad absurdum project of selling colors as NFTs, but nobody took the bait. A cynic gets his well-deserved comeuppance.
He did everything reasonable. Spend a good amount of time and resources on this project.
He clearly acted on the thought I have had plenty of times: I should just start my own nft token and become rich.
I might have struggled way less from a pure technical standpoint but I would have tried it very similar.
This gives my mind a good feeling and I appreciate his effort.
It also explained to me how you create nfts.
Admit it or not, most successful NFTs have artistic merit, and are capturing something authentic.
Although the NFT community has been shown to reward irony (especially post-irony), it has not been shown to reward cynicism.
People aren't going to line up to pay for spit in the face. They're not as dumb as the author assumed they would be.
you lost me here.
It's hard to imagine a more cynical industry.
In fact, I'd say the less substance something has the easier it is to tell the attitude of the people making it. As in all things the details matter. Those are the things that set apart genuine attempts from everything else.
Have you seen them?
I do like the beeple stuff as he is a genuine curios interesting person.
But then again in the top nft list is a clock?
Tell me pls how the color idea is stupid while the punks are not? Or the clock?
Or those apes?
