#Surprised #NFT #Art
Lots of passion in the comments so let me just clarify that I’m not pro or against buying NFTs. I have had lots of questions, as millions of people do, and I wanted to dive into the world to get an up-close look to see what people do with NFTs and how it’s shaping the future of art — and I learned a lot. I bought what is essentially a “print” as a memento to better understand it. But if you spend your own money to invest, this is very much gambling.
NFT “art” is not stored on any blockchain, you are paying for a link to the location of where the image is stored.
“NFT crash course”…ah, that would be the stock market chart.
What gets me is most of this stuff would’ve been given away as free wallpaper a couple of years ago.
you do know you can right click any nft and save it ? also ‚you don’t own anything, just a url to the art ‚not the art itself, also “days to appear in my account”? that’s thanks to the inefficiency of Blockchain, quite honestly it can all be done without Blockchain, nft is just a fad and there are better ways to support digital artists
I have zero interest in NFTs — they’re ridiculous — but when I get a notification on a new Bridget video it gets watched from start to finish.
I’m confused. Can more than one person by the same piece of NFT art?
“I can easily see how NFTs can become part of our everyday lives in a few years”
How? Art as a financialized asset (which is what every single NFT proponent wants you to believe they are, the “community” stuff is thinly veiled shilling and nobody needs to pay for “technical ownership” of a piece of art they only deeply love) is not something anyone but the ultra wealthy are concerned with in everyday life. Ownership of intangible concepts is not something almost any typical person actually needs to confront on any regular basis. Nor should they, we should care more about sharing and experiencing art than owning it.
NFTs are a step toward the financialization of literally everything — from our art, to eventually mere concepts and words. Stop trying to paint everything in a neutral light. Everything good about NFTs is only good insofar as it supports even more spurious, speculative, and destructive forms of capitalism. More tenuous and hype-fueled avenues for monetization is not a solution to the problems of artists, just like Fivver and Upwork were not the miraculous savior for creators they thought it would be.
NFTs are just a fckin scam, quit hocking this bullsh1t
Congrats you’ve been scammed
lots of ppl going to look like clowns in a few years trying to justify how they spent thousands in worthless images lmaoo, only reason nft heads get mad at ppl saying they dont have value is cuz they are scared of losing their money lmaoo
Love your personality & enthusiasm…very informative. I will assuredly say I would NEVER waste my money on this NFT nonsense…suckers everywhere
So basically it’s people hyping jpegs and gifs that you need to pay thousands for. Definitely a scam, just like crypto, metaverse and blockchains
NFT idea is that in future people will use VR or AR glasses, but it could end up like 3D tv, except 3D tv existed in that time when peope thougt it could become standard (like 10 years ago) and AR even doesn’t exist and metaverse too, but you should buy nft for something that doesn’t exist and think vr and ar will become popular. This NFT art doesn’t have any value, but I can agree that people buys many stupid things, but I don’t think it will become popular / everyone to use it
No thanks NFTs are ridiculous, they are just like any other short lived get rich quick scam.
Probably only a matter of time before the NFT hype dies harsh death and all those NFTs will be worth nothing
Is it raining. The roads have become like river. You can play with paper boat here. From farm they pass to road.
Google don’t have live map. They’re very far behind.
You look like that spiderman actress. Kristen dunst. You know how to make spider web. Me Too Don’t know.
One uncle tried to shoot with a gun. Are they real like in zombieland movie. That ghostbuster clip. I hate sundays.
The NFT craze has made prices for some collectibles extremely expensive, and they may not hold their value in the long term.
Capitalism is a virus on Earth!
Thanks Bridget! This is my 2nd favorite video of yours (Optimus Prime toy is number one) as you’ve at least given me insight to NFTs. I can absolutely see myself buying one of these as some sort of display in my home.… maybe a rotating NFT display like a digital pic frame.… take care.
I’m in the nft market and recently came by this defi project called Rebellion Base. Check them out!
I just got a better understanding of how this whole NFT community works, it’s amazing.
Nfts craze is over thank goodness 😅
