So many are missing the point about NFTs

It’s not just about a virtual cat, or a Beeple piece. It’s been going on since Cryptokitties a lot earlier.

I’m reading a ton of bad posts from artists, journalists etc. about NFTs and CryptoArt.

You just have to think ahead a little here, and stop reacting to mainstream news reactions.

NFTs of ‘real’ artworks:

Artworks originating from the real world…. WILL soon be stamped or marked in some way by technology that links them to their NFT. This is coming. Yes, Banksy can do this too.

Digital identities via blockchain are coming too.

But going forward more immediately: it’s unlikely you’ll soon find any digital artist NOT minting (or registering) their art on Ethereum or other networks….

Yes, there may be breaches and copyright cases etc, but there will always be these. However, artworks not minted by their original artist will be easier and easier to detect. Just be sure to check as best you can.

So… stop writing reactionary articles to the NFTs currently grabbing headlines and think ahead.

It’s revolutionary.

NFTs and digital scarcity are here.
