lnstinctI know ppl in South America making a living from creating artwork nfts & doing wayyy better financially then they would otherwise
it's pretty problematic when creating real material value makes you less money than trading digital apes
its nuts that people would rather entertain this obviously flawed system than fix the system to make it actually sustainable

Rt. Amateur digital artists have been eating off nfts. Most of these NFT haters only seem to equate nfts as the generative s***, and nothing more.

you wouldn't commision digital artwork or buy digital artwork if you knew you couldnt sell it for a higher value off of the hype the word "NFT" has
aint no way art just suddenly "gained" value for yall for a reason other than the fact that it can be traded and speculated on nowwhat a gross misconstruction of the value of art

The stuff OP posted. Even the twitter thread in OP has a link that breaks down everything even further. Like its clear they are on some racist s***. Has nothing to do with disliking NFT's
I read the link and it's mostly nonsense
- they claimed that BAYC inserted an alt-right icon named René Guénon into one of their puzzles. What I found was that one of the puzzle's answers was "Guenon" which is a type of monkey. The whole puzzle was monkey themed because these are apes
- They also claim another word embedded in the puzzle, "macaque", is a known racial slur.
This is also just another type of monkey - they claimed the BAYC video game features "rats with gold" as an anti semetic symbol. One of the game's enemies is rats and like a lot of video game enemies, they drop gold coins when you kill them
- They claimed the rolling stone cover also features "rats with gold" but I can't even see them on the cover
- they claim the BAYC team's name "Yuga Labs" is a reference to some "alt right" thing called the Kali Yuga. I googled this and Kali Yuga is a Hinduist idea. Also, there is a Zelda character named Yuga
the logo in @op seems pretty damning but all this other stuff seems like 4chan-created nonsense

Again this is irrelevant to the people benefitting
Not only that but you’re wrong. Most 1/1s collected don’t get sold for more because of how illiquid the market is, so it’s mainly long term collectors with little intention of flipping

Instead they’re betting on the artist doing great over years & basically the piece be a store of value because of that
Or they just love the art

there could be something here. But I also know that humans are amazing pattern detectors, especially 4chan schizos. They can find conspiracies in anything

Cope. People who do regularly use ethereum or whatever chain and can appreciate art will buy things purely for aesthetics.

Look through some of the auction bought and sold history. Some people will clearly buy a nice looking piece and keep it. - Jan 28, 2022
