just the need to go out travel and see "real pieces of art" on a museum or gallery!
tired to see everything on a LCD screen

keep it real!!

Speaking of... As a artist, Can you imagine all the nagging he put up with from his girl / wife .." oh your creating your "art again" today..
Why dont you do this for me or do that... take the dog for a walk, you love that computer more then you love me... blah blah blah.

Now she see, he loves her to the tune of 69 Million ways.

They say it's worth $1 billion now 

This stinks. It’s basically one big hustle.

The Beeple is 5,000 artworks, so they were only £14k each.

Thank god (if I believed in one) I’m waving from the station. All this hype about a format and not a word about the art is sickening!

NFT art is 98% awful.

So in many ways a lot like street art.

(Closes computer 😀)

I enjoyed reading that, thanks for sharing!

For me takeaway is physical art doesn't need an NFT, because it is one in itself ha.

So this is about commercialising digital art really, allowing that be made unique in the same way ... and so the burning of a Banksy print was really dumb ha (in theory at least!)..

Although! Digital art to me has always been commercial through video games, movies, animations. It doesn't need a mechanism to make money for it. It's already a massive industry. That's where it's competed with painting until now etc.

Are NFT just bad animations, movies or video games? Like,should they artist have gone alot further with the work to make it one of those? ... It's a bit like the video art you see galleries. Always feel like bad Tv to me 🤷.
I'm starting to NFT in a similar way.

Looks like someone is planning to destroy a Banksy LA set. Worlds gone mad

Disney is a trillion dollar company. Wait until they release NFTs. They own the animation and sports world in America.

Nytimes did a interesting article about this. www.nytimes.com/2021/03/12/arts/design/beeple-nonfungible-nft-review.html

"If NFTs bring anything new to art speculation, it is the appalling environmental price of blockchain transactions; the artist Memo Akten computed that the average NFT has a carbon footprint equal to a European citizen’s power use for a month."

*So artists, who are like Shepard Fairey and are environmentalist, should really think twice before getting involved with this.

"Similarly to KAWS, the subject of a current show at the Brooklyn Museum, Beeple often repurposes Pixar, Disney, “Star Wars” and Pokémon characters in the way earlier artists painted Christian saints or Greek deities. Unlike KAWS, who has at least tried to produce an artistic project of his own, Beeple uses these cartoon characters as social-media mnemonics; they’re signposts in the endless churn of the image stream, to confirm you know what you are looking at, you already like it, you know the artist is on your team.

*Wow did Nytimes just give props to KAWS even due to this NFT crap?

THIS IS SO STUPID. It was ridiculous the first time and it's even more stupid the next time. 

I've heard that Burnt Banksy talk about the stunt on Clubhouse. He's become quite the NFT celeb. Anyway the guy is a total buffoon. To hear him talk about it is painful, and even more painful to hear all of the people in the room praise him like he's some sort of art world phenom. He'll go the way of the "backpack kid" or basically any other one trick pony. I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt but after hearing him talk about it he's just a chump. 

Thank you for this!
Was a very interesting read for me.

Guys, get out of this market pronto. A piece of advice from someone with expertise.

I don't have much, but honestly as a small crypto holder, I'm really upset by all NFTs stuff - clearly.

I think this cheapens blockchain and bring much more confusion and speculation to crypto in general.

Rather than using these smart engineers, resources, money to integrate cryptocurrency into everyday use and life, I still can't buy a sandwich at 99.99% restaurants with cryptocurrency and it's already been more than a decade since this has gone "mainstream", they decide to make a fake product, NFT, to lauder cryptocurrency through.

They had all this time to make blockchain technology, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies useful for everyday life. They didn't. I'm starting to think they don't want to integrate crypto with everyday life because it will bring more government, and governments around the world, attention to all this.

I think Tesla and it's connection to Coinbase/Crypto through Tim Draper makes that a unique situation but I don't think other major companies like Apple are going to buy into this. IF, they do then that will save crypto but if they don't, very soon, it's going to crash prices. Crypto needs this type of hype, speculation, and government stimulus money to keep it going. All of that it going to end soon unless another major player like Apple get's involved. Tim Cook, is very conservative in investing and smart, doesn't have to listen to Tim Draper or Elon which is why I don't think he will get involved.

To me, stupid things like NFT, this will only bring later a harder federal regulatory inquiry into all this. I'm really starting to think this all for a few company's and their major IPOs coming like Coinbase before governments get involved in this, which will crash crypto prices. So just a few more years before this all come coming down hard. Might not go to zero but crypto prices will hurt for awhile.

The big whales have convinced a lot of rich people to get involved. Don't be surprised, very soon, they pull the rug from all this and get out with billions before prices crash. Stimulus checks are ending for good soon, maybe another very small one but I think this it, and life will get back to normal soon. This easy money craze will be over soon. NFT and Bitcoin is part of this all this craze.

NFTs - The more you ready about NFTs, there is absolutely nothing good about them. From environmental issues to many financial issues as well. To me, this cheapens artists and gallery that gets involved with this. It's so based on quick greed rather than anything else.
