To all of those who are writing about the environmental impacts of crypto art and NFT's: If you look at where the technology is going, there is very little environmental impact to "crypto art" if you use the right platform. I completely respect Everest and others writing about the problems of using the Proof of Work based blockchain. However there are plenty of platforms that use Proof of Stake which does not involve crypto mining on GPU's. It takes no more energy than to post on facebook. PoS crypto has an interesting space to explore outside of capitalist aspirations. The Stellar blockchain and Harmony blockchain are both excellent places to begin exploring NFTs without relying on environmentally impactful practices. In other words, the technology is super interesting and SHOULD have artists exploring the boundaries of this form, not just tech bros.
