Why?

Web3 and the Blockchain is a more open and enjoyable internet and the true first step to the metaverse. I believe NFTs are a great way for artists to get recognition for their work and are more than just ape profile pics. It allows us artists to truly become a subsidary of content creators like YouTubers are currently.

Its true, visual artists and photographers get no notice whatsoever compared to musicians, actors and video producers. A quote i read on Twitter pretty much describes everything great about NFTs:

Before NFTs, there were 8 artists everyone knows about. In the future, there will be thousands

Multiple

Its not about winning, web3 is about uniting users and creators. A blockchain is just another currency.

Were there not already platforms like dA for that?

Why choose this grift over far right shilling?

DeviantART was a good attempt, but artists couldnt make money from it unless they sold uncensored porn on Patreon. Besides, Patreon only works for truly successful artists. NFTs are like fine art being sold at a gallery. Except the sky is the limit in terms of medium and format. Because they are just JPEGs, without an ownership signature it was merely impossible to monetise work like musicians and video producers could. The Blockchain fixes this conundrum

Cool! Not like it makes a difference

How much money have you made?

Would you marry me? We're not actually marrying, I'm just asking if you would.

This week alone I made 20-30 bucks. While it definitely isnt much, Ive only just put my work up in late December. Even then that is 6-7 assets altogether, which is more than I ever thought Id sell.

Why is it that the NFT craze hasnt lead me learning about any artists while instead subjecting my eyeballs to dozens of ugly apes and lions?

its a very new medium in its infancy. It hasnt evolved truly, just like music and movies, fads exist and time for them is finite. Not to mention that most fads suck. Just like Apes. IMO i kinda hate the generative pfps too cause they are effortless and sadly not worth what they are going for.

Remember when video games first came out and they were only children's toys? What about VR being almost exclusively known as guitar hero/DDR-esque rhythm games?

Bump

Do you think we will get a good NFT MMO in the next 5 years?

Except NFTs offer absolutely nothing of value that existing technologies dont already accomplish. Commissioning artwork online was a thing long before NFTs existed, and plenty of online artists have successful Patreon feeds.

At their core, NFTs are a late-stage capitalist grift designed to trick idiot tech-bros out of their money.

Hell yeah! Worldwide Webb and Decentraland are already great. I wish the latter was playable on mobile :(

Do you expect this to stay lucrative long term? I think NFTs and blockchain tech in general is cool and has a lot of potential. I just don't see it's current usage like you described sticking around. I mean, NFTs are basically just a very secure digital ledger. Great for proof of ownership wrt like copyright enforcement, but it seems like a lot of folks buy digital art NFTs under the assumption that they're getting a unique product that nobody else can have (a la traditional art), which the internet disproved like 20 years ago.

Could you DM me any good tutorials on how to get started please?

Do unknown artists usually do well at fine art auctions?

Same, I'm up to about 2k a week after 4 weeks

There's already one that's been out for years called entropia universe

It doesn't use Blockchain tech to validate anything but it's the same shit.

Commissions dont get artists into the mainstream. Is any fine artist in this current generation mainstream? Only artists everyone know are the likes of Picasso, Andy Warhol and Da Vinci from the old days.

Famous visual artists never become popular like Taylor Swift or Drake in the music sector. The only time they make it in the mainstream is when they do silly crap like tape a banana to a wall or name a blank canvas take the money and run.

Seriously tho, only one I can think of in current year is Beeple. Who is an NFT artist sooo

Art prints and trading cards are kinda the same. Can be easily duplicated but ownership has value.

I think the digital art associated with NFTs not being tangible makes a huge difference. Rare collectibles are physical items with characteristics that set them apart from duplicates. That's not the case with digital art.

That's not really the main issue I see facing NFT art is it currently exists, though. Like, if I bought a piece of art from you, what do I actually get since the image itself isn't stored on the blockchain?

Was the call really coming from inside the house???

why don't you show us some of your NFTs

This is some top-tier trolling from TC.

I'd give it a 4/10, too many people have already called them out, and their responses haven't really gotten anybody angry.

True, I'm talking more about how seriously TC's taking it. He's really committed to the act.

can you post a pic of one of your creations?
