Crypto Art

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?

Exactly. You can do exactly that. And now you own it. They're paying HUGE money to be the "offical blockchain owner"

why would you want to own a gif on the blockchain?

because youre a retard with nothing going for you in life

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.

hmmm, well if retards will buy it fuck it its a good market i guess

Another site. Look at the way they even try and borrow fashion terms like "drops". And it's utter garbage.

This 10 minute job in Cinema 4D or something sold for $10,300

And I just saved it to my computer.

I'm in the wrong industry...

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?

>verifiable ownership of a scarce asset

What's so scarce about it? Mona Lisa is a one-off. Copies of digital art == the original.

you also own the digital rights to it i guess

If you buy real art you can "donate" it an write it off as a tax deduction. Something similar may be going on here.

That will never mean anything with these pieces.

lol ok Lars

Or money laundering.

i still think its good for artists though, if someone wants to digital art then theres a market for it

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.

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?

This

>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

>bitcoin is so stupid, anyone can copy the code and make their own bitcoin! whats so scarce about it?

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

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.

WASH
TRADING

I don't sell or care about digital art, what are you going on about

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.

> copy and paste files

>t. absolute brainlet

t. spent $30,000 on a GIF of a Blender fabric plugin
