NFT artists kind of hide behind the oldschool art world to justify it…
I think it shows how stupid that world is.
The point of art is to move people, to make them think and feel something by conveying the artist’s thoughts, not be a store of value. And while I’ve been to museums with gorgeous pieces, if you’re paying millions for a painting, at some point most of that value is the gratification of hoarding it. That same money could buy you an incredible experience in today’s art landscape, but it’s not about the experience, is it? And NFTs are like the perfect deconstruction of that.
That being said, OP I am downvoting your post because eyeballs are exactly what crypto bros want, no offense :P
