For everyone here
YES
There is tons of trash art nft and nft artist ..ALSO..
There is ALSO several GREAT Artist, Artwork, Projects & communities if you know where to look
That being said...it is more about the collectible aspect....
MOST people here and everywhere are over looking the COLLECTIBLE TRADING GAMES aspect of it!
If you
EVER played or collected Pokemon or Magic The Gathering MTG? ( both this trading card games have cards that
sell for hundreds of thousands ) MTG started selling DIGITAL version of their cards on their Online Gaming platform...you can't move those any where, they stay on the platform. They are not TOKENS not NFTS and people
spend Thousands there...
What I am saying is there are a few Diamond project out there, I'm not talking about the art of a a Ugly Crypto Punk (I understand the collectability thought)......but let me just say...
.$ TRADING $CARD collection combined with a GAME is ADDICATIVE AS HELL!! Very enjoyable and cost $$$$ aka cardboard money.... as well as $ART$ in general always has commanded stupid money, no shocker.
When you combine NFTs, tokens, a community, incentives, Characters and actually
MAKE a game out of the NFT collection that's being sold you have a winning combination.
This is what many do not understand...ART is so vast there so much different routes to go
Also TM IP issues NFT solve that, this is way MUSIC and everyone in that space you see is getting in on it! Minting a Token on the blockchain is basically 22nd Century TMing IP to a degree do not quote me hear.
BUT the gaming/collectible Trading side of a Good Beautiful project with characters is very a strong incentive for others to join
IF you take Sports, trading cards, Betting, Wagering (flippers,hodlers), collectibles (pokemon,Sports Cards , MTG) Limited Editions....a JPEG is not a NFT....a JEPG is a JEPG until it's been minted...you can NOT send a screenshot image jpeg to your wallet, it is NOT a TOKEN, it is not on the Blockchain,
When you take all that mixed with
the power of CRYPTO...and digital wallets as the source of money and exchanging power.....you have WHAT EVERYONE IS LOOKING AT NOW and can't wrap their heads around.
NFT is a new Tech...not a jpeg, it's changing tech...and it's going to and already is changing our world!
Yes tons of crap art out there
Tons of nice Verified Artist out there too, and verified Projects (startups)
People are going to be very surprised to see what some of these turn into..and NO I'm not talking apes or punks or your rugpulls.....
ps
BEEPLEs Art is fantastic IMHO and I love seeing what he comes up with, and I follow him on every channel
Also..If you want to better understand NFTs, read Up on the Metaverse more and more....
To each there own and I'm not knocking anyone for their view
ps..as for the collectibles in numbers of collections..
When we say Rarity or STATS, it's not that its just a some rare ape, when oh look there is 9998 more liek it..."LIKE TRADING CARD GAMES", each one has
specific traits (MORE THAN OTHERS, to add rarity to the collectors)
HENCE why you only see so many of the BAYC with the "laser eyes" That's a rarity trait built into the design......and so someone here might benefit this from the bigger picture.... < THAT MEANS
Out of the 10,000 BoredApeYachtCLub aps on OpenSea with a current floor price of 24.99ETH
ONLY 69 have the laser eyes!!!!!!!
So out of the whole world, rich poor, stable or of the 48MILLION millionaires in the world .....If you want to 1 BAYC with Laser Eyes in your collection as in investment or just for your own enjoyment.....69 out of 10,000 ...price goes up quick.........RARITY (and this is just a small sample I had the time for)
Anyway cheers and have a great day all!
