[@Christy_smith](/user/profile/Christy_smith) This is a Tu Quoque fallacy. Decide if you want to stay on target and talk about the issue at hand, or engage in a wider debate about the entire art world. Two different things.
Beeple is a scammer. He's profiting from pretending to sell rights to his work that really aren't worth anything. He's not as big a scammer as the exchange, but he's still a scammer.
AND anybody who buys a NFT is a scammer as well.. because they're not buying something they can actually use. They're only buying something they think they can flip to a greater fool and profit from.
At least if you buy a print or an original you have something you can hang on your wall. You buy that because if there isn't someone who will pay you for it, you can at least enjoy it. **THAT** is what real art is supposed to be about. If you're selling NFTs you're not selling art. You're using yourself as a vehicle to give somebody an upper hand in being able to defraud the next guy that comes along.
