People are making shitty GIFs and "selling" them for tens, even hundreds, of thousands of dollars as "crypto art"
Who's the fucking idiot here? The designer for thinking anyone wants to "own" a shitty GIF, the buyer for blowing their life savings on a GIF that's freely accessible to anyone, or me for not getting it?
why wouldnt people just save them to their computer from the site?
Jaxson Young
Exactly. You can do exactly that. And now you own it. They're paying HUGE money to be the "offical blockchain owner"
Luke Butler
why would you want to own a gif on the blockchain?
Joshua Watson
because youre a retard with nothing going for you in life
Jeremiah Parker
I cannot work it out.
They're trying to mimic the traditional art model (buying an original) in a medium that doesn't differentiate between original and copy (online). It makes sense that a print of the Mona Lisa is a lot cheaper than the actual Mona Lisa, because there's a difference.
With this there's literally no difference between "owning" a piece, and having it in your 'CG Art' folder or Pinterest or Tumblr collection. Except that that's free.
Seems to be this.
Christopher Bailey
hmmm, well if retards will buy it fuck it its a good market i guess
I can download picture of mona lisa !! I printed it and now have the mona lisa in my kitchen !
fucking retards ngmi id you don't understand what verifiable ownership of a scarce asset is oh wait isn't that like bitcoin but with art?
Angel Gonzalez
>verifiable ownership of a scarce asset
What's so scarce about it? Mona Lisa is a one-off. Copies of digital art == the original.
Cameron Perry
you also own the digital rights to it i guess
Nathan Gutierrez
If you buy real art you can "donate" it an write it off as a tax deduction. Something similar may be going on here.
Jeremiah Adams
That will never mean anything with these pieces.
Henry Reed
lol ok Lars
Jose Morales
Or money laundering.
Matthew Powell
i still think its good for artists though, if someone wants to digital art then theres a market for it
Luis Hill
Oh for sure, I would absolutely sell to these idiots. If they want to give me their life savings for a GIF of a torus spinning, I won't stop them.
Cooper Watson
What you're seeing isn't an organic method of making money, it's a method of manufacturing the consent of normies for your money laundering. You give some asshole on staff a bonus to whip up some clipart, make a token, do spirit-fingers while you say whitepaper things, aaaaand you're done. 21st century version of the ol' millionaire laundromat owner. Do dirty deed, get paid by "selling ownership of art."

Excuse me?

>laugh at boomers for disregarding digital assets >make this thread are you too stupid to get it or just mad for missing out? imagine saying 15 years ago mp3’s and digital music are stupid because anyone can copy and paste files
Christian Parker
>bitcoin is so stupid, anyone can copy the code and make their own bitcoin! whats so scarce about it?
Jacob Brooks
back in the 90s drummer for Metallica went apeshit about napster.
look we get it , you sell digital art , lighten up never said i was against it...faggot
Bentley Wilson
Anyone buying digital stuff is a straight up retard. Information is free. There are no protections on the site and no recourse for theft of digital art when jeets steal from you.
William Torres
WASH TRADING
Samuel Gomez
I don't sell or care about digital art, what are you going on about
Jaxon Morgan
But that's not true. You can make your own crypto but not your own Bitcoin.
You haven't explained shit, other than a fucking huge dose of copium.
Connor Nguyen
> copy and paste files has worked well for my minecraft twin for like ten years. In Minecraft
Xavier Hernandez
>t. absolute brainlet
John Parker
t. spent $30,000 on a GIF of a Blender fabric plugin
