This honestly is going to be the best post of this iteration of the Bort
Is Sultan not ringing a bell?
It’s my awesome piece of art now
Not that it’s that awesome but this is where I struggle with the whole NFT thing versus purchasing physical pieces of artwork.
NFTs are more than just jpegs and/or images. But no one seems to be able to grasp that concept. It’s a right to ownership of an asset.
……but when that asset is a bored ape that can be easily replicated then the whole concept looks pretty stupid.
The right to own an asset? Like a digital album? I pirate those constantly
It’s the same idea of an original piece of art vs a poster you buy in the gift shop of the museum
I get that, but since it’s already digital it’s far easier for me to reprint.
But that doesn’t mean you own it. Just like if I copy a tour print.
Understood. I think Jackson’s comment about the bored monkey says a lot about NFT’s at this point, and the scarcity of truly good art.
My comment was about the perception issue.
It’s about misperception based on misunderstanding of the underlying tech and purpose. I’m not big on NFTs but the old “I can just right click and save” is the biggest sign someone doesn’t quite get it.
This.
I think it’s more of a dig at the perceived quality of what people are selling as NFTs and the difference (or lack of understanding of the difference?) between digital and physical art.
I like owning original physical art, but I don’t see the value or get the same enjoyment out of digital art, so I just don’t really get it on a personal level
Trust me when I say there’s just as much terrible art in the physical world as the digital one. But if your point is “I prefer physical art,” I get it. Because I agree.
Rockstar Richard and Sultan should do a podcast together.
The exiled super fans
I think NFTs could be useful, but we as humans dont know what they are useful for yet, so we are selling monkeys for 500k or whatever
The digital artists I know are excited about them because they help solidify ownership of work. But how that becomes relevant to the masses is TBD. Again, the tech seems beneficial and great for most people, but the execution is still questionable.
