I don’t think such a discussion is necessary to arrive at the conclusion that NFT’s are a scam. People are paying thousands (if not millions) for a link to a jpeg or a tweet - as much as digital artists deserve their work to have value, as much as some kind of art ownership register might be a good idea (does not need blockchain though), as much as “art is the value that people ascribe to it so who are you to say that a link to a jpeg isn't art” - imagine convincing someone to buy a link to a tweet without the techobabble of blockchain and promise of crypto wealth around it. It’s a scam. but its vary person to person .its all my own opinion

You know that the price paid for Beeple's piece has nothing to do with the quality or significance of his work, right? It's just a "collateral" for a virtual museum-shaped ponzi. The guy who paid it is Beeple's buddy and it is all a marketing trick.

[@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.

I don't personally understand what differentiates an NFT from a digital ownership certificate that nobody previously wanted to buy a paper version of. With that being said... Beeple is an icon of digital art and deserves his money. The guys body of work is absolutely unparalleled. Both his thousands of renderings and 10 years of FREE VJ LOOPS. Whether its your style or not, and whether NFTs make any sense or not, Beeples auction is probably on the lowest end of the scam scale of any of the NFT-hype. I'm sad he would be negatively associated due to the format being dumb

[@santenar](/user/profile/santenar) I agree with your thought, I also saw often most of it happen.

Beeple Generator is an open-source web app that randomly generates 3D models inspired by American artist Mike “beeple” Winkelmann’s artwork. Beeple recently sold a piece of his NFT artwork for $69.3 million via Christie's auction, the highest amount ever paid for digital artwork. "Everything involving crypto is a scam lmaoo. It's all a pyramid scheme, including the art platforms... especially the art
