yeah, the difference between NFTs and banking/grocery stores/automotives is that one is a necessity to society and the way most of our major cities are built, while the other is just “hehe i own a useless code to a useless jpg”
Your statement that NFTs add nothing to the world is not true though. NFT's allows the transfer of any digital asset wherein the owner of that asset can be verified within the blockchain. Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs have the benefit that the verification of that ownership is not reliant on a single authority. Whether the benefit is worth it when it comes to the environmental impact of the blockchain that hosts the NFT's is up for discussion. But that doesn't change the fact that there is some benefits with NFTs
Nft’s are not weird. They are nothing. They are literally nothing. I can literally say I owe every single nft on earth if I just download it / screenshot it. I’m not worth as much.
Agreed, it's just a way to make it sound special and make money out of it. It's pretty amazing that people can make money out of nothing or anything that's already free.
I think a significant portion of controversy is not only the environmental issues but also that many people are stealing art work and making the pieces into NFTs without the creators permission, which in combination with the environmental issues, doesn’t exactly leave a good taste for many artists. As for other random JPGs I’m personally more indifferent towards, but the art stealing is a bit rough
I think it's quite silly to write off the entire concept of NFTs simply because copyright infringement is taking place, it would be like saying that prints, merch sales, tshirt sales, the entire internet are all awful concepts that should never become a standard, because people are stealing artwork. Any open marketplace for art will involve copyright infringement, the upside to copyright infringement with NFTs is that stolen art has no value, there is no physical object that you get out of the transaction so you've just handed money over to a scammer for literally nothing, it would be like getting a random person on the street to write up a certificate saying you own the Mona Lisa, you've bought a worthless piece of paper, an ownership certificate written up by the actual owner of the Mona Lisa on the other hand would genuinely be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, even if the conditions of this certificate require the artwork to stay on public display (as is the nature of NFTs) People this early in the NFT market are probably 90-99% people just looking to sell it later for profit, so people who bought "counterfeit" NFTs will eventually be burned. If NFTs take off as a recognized method of digital ownership, people will easily be able to confirm if an NFT is fake thanks to the nature of the open ledger, no matter how obfuscated scammers may be, the jig is up as soon as you are able to confirm which contracts are legitimate from the original artist, making anyone interested in actually owning an NFT not want to purchase your fake, and if NFTs don't take off and eventually fizzle out and die, then it's worthless anyway, yes it's quite annoying that people are stealing eth from people with this method, but the nature of NFTs mean the artist hasn't really lost out since fake NFTs do not take value away from a legitimate NFT, the only real NFTs in circulation are those made by the actual owner of the work (again, ownership certificates) unlike fake prints, fake tshirts etc which do take value away from any legitimate prints by providing a (usually) cheaper way to obtain a physical good. @FranklyDoodle Not entirely true, every transaction on a Proof Of Work blockchain has a tangible environmental footprint, when you buy or sell an NFT your transaction is verified by miners, the weight of their verification is based on how much power they've been chugging through on their hardware, obviously each individual transaction has a tiny, miniscule impact but the entire NFT market would make up a sizeable amount of energy, and if it gets more popular that will only increase. However, the reality is that ~75% of crypto mining is done on renewables already, making it better than centralized financial institutions, since independent mining is automatically incentivized to go renewable for reducing costs, and there are new protocols like Proof Of Stake and Chia's Proof Of Space that are likely to end up as de-facto options in the future that have a miniscule fraction of the power consumption, I fully expect Eth to eventually transition to one of these low-power protocols as they make far more sense, there is no need to have a power-hungry protocol, I would bet my money that BTC will be the only popular crypto to stay on proof-of-work in the next 10 years or so.
"NFTs are good for artists" who already have enough fame to start there. I am artist, and many of my friends tried NFTs. Some of them are top people on behance, proper artists, and for months they haven't sold a thing on NFTs. In fact none of people I know personally ever earned a dime there, and from the best artists i know through internet, almost no one managed to sell it. People, do not fall for it, unless you are at least half as famous as Beeple.
@@mango_sheikh786 could just commission an artist instead of being so extra. you could even get the photoshop or csp file instead of just a jpg or png lmao
But can you just steal someone’s art and get paid for it? Basically does this mean will artists always have to make their arts nfts before anybody else can otherwise they don’t own it?
NFTs aren't good for artists, most digital artists hate NFTs because they incentivize people to steal art and makes it very profitable and hard to track
most artists hate it cuz they don't understand it and the only place they getting informed on it is from dangerously retarded twitter users and mainstream media propaganda. It doesn't incentivize stealing, it's actually made for quite the opposite reason. If someone trynna "steal" art and resell it they just trying to fool some newbies who should learn and make extra sure that what they are buying is actually been minted by the original artist. It's really easy to check.
I've made this same point on a few other comments, but it's worth recognizing NFTs for what they are: certificates of ownership, there is no NFT that gives you exclusive access to something tangible, afaik every single NFT is attached to an image/song/whatever that is easily accessed, copied, and distributed digitally anywhere anytime. When someone is stealing art to make an NFT, they are more or less writing up a worthless ownership certificate, it's not like selling counterfeit prints or using stolen art to make tshirts, a fake certificate of ownership doesn't undermine the value of a real certificate of ownership, the only certificate that has genuine value is the certificate written and authorized by the legal owner. Artists shouldn't feel obligated to track and stamp out fake NFTs, the person buying the NFT should have had the sense to verify the legitimacy of the certificate they purchased, if they are concerned that their art work is being "stolen" then they should, again, remember that the NFT is just a certificate, what is happening is that their art is being used as a medium to scam someone else out of their money, they aren't taking money or potential profit away from the artist, they're like a hooded masked man selling Mona Lisa ownership certificates in an alleyway, the actual owner of the Mona Lisa shouldn't be worried about the masked man "stealing" the Mona Lisa, because he hasn't, he's scammed some idiots out of their money, he hasn't taken value out of selling printed copies of the Mona Lisa, and he hasn't taken value out of the potential eventual resale of the genuine ownership of the Mona Lisa.
@@MisterGorr I actually understand how it works, and it's obvious that it's no good for smaller artists like me. Because it's either I go and mint all bunch of my artwork, I private my accounts, or I go around on every website trying to do dmca takedowns instead of me actually doing work. Because the person selling my artwork can just pretend that there's someone else that they're not. If people are able to steal credit in the traditional art world, then they can do it here.
What I'm confused about is why do we need the concept of nfts to support artists. Most of them already do commissions and you can pay and ask for a personalized artwork that is MEANT for you, and the sad thing is nft makers are stealing artworks from people like Loish and unofficially selling her artwork as a nft. I honestly think this is more of rich people trend than a way to support artists
definitely a rich people thing. to even create an NFT, you have to throw down $250 minimum. the "starving artist" stereotype is often too true; most artists cannot afford to gamble with $250
Fuck yeah I can commission one of my friends for a unique piece like "a flamingo fighting a hippo" or some dumbass fuckery that looks so much better than an ai generated image that looks like a doll maker dress up game. And beyond that, I'd be supporting someone financially with what I pay for and what I get
@@franklydoodle350 “just because NFTs waste an excessive amount of electricity that is being produced by coal plants doesn’t mean that NFTs are harming the environment!” Seriously though, energy usage *is* a direct environmental impact.

An issue is that people are stealing tweets and art from artists and selling them as NFT's. The artists dont want any of their content made into NFT's and many of these sites are garbage about removing their art if they manage to find it.
So far NFTs seem to only benefit big artists. All I can see is many artists getting fucked and their art being stolen for profit. That includes artists like Qinni that passed away last year. That's an issue that'll only get worse with time. So many artists out there are actually pushing against it because they simply see no value and only issues with how it works currently.
and to preserve value in a way. I'm rather buying NFTs from famous artist then keeping my money in my country's corrupt fucking inflated piece of shit currency.
@@NUKELEDGE This is where NFTs come in to solve that issue. You see, when u buy an NFT you don't actually buy the file itself but a token (hence "non fungible token") instead that represents an immutable, cryptographically verifiable piece of evidence of ownership. Sure, anybody can take a photo of the art, anybody can see it but only one person can actually own it. Same thing with the Mona Lisa. You can look at it, take a picture but it will always be owned by the French government.
The only functional purpose I could see to "owning digital assets" like this would be able to hold the copyright to be able to use the files commercially without recourse, like stock images. But it sounds like that's not even happening since so much is stolen and no one involved seem to understand what copyright is in the first place. So... I guess people are just throwing money around for big boy points?
The only thing I can see NFTs really being useful for is like. Getting access to uncompressed original versions of things. There is a difference in the video that is uploaded and the one on the original computer, for example, since TH-cam compresses stuff. But that’s it.
I seriously don't get NFTs, as a digital artist this shit is just fucking insane, commission an artist like a normal person. Not only for the fact that it's horrible for the environment, but it's just???? It doesn't make sense ???? WHO WANTS TO BUY A JPEG????? WHAT IS HAPPENING ANYMORE MAN
You say mining is bad for the environment, but I say it will force governments to step up their reliance on non renewal able energy. Thus supporting the economy even more than the mining energy consumption already is.
Basically an NFT is the receipt for a transaction of a file. There isn’t actually any proof of ownership, nor does it prove that the file is the “original file” of anything. All it is, is a proof of transfer. The main problems with it are that it takes a small city’s worth of energy to mint one, and that any random fuck can take someone else’s intellectual property and make an NFT with it to sell.
whatever u do just don't try to understand it from the comment section, people are being extremely retarded about it. It kind of funny tho but hurts me in the same time. :"D
@@hidinginyourcloset Same thing I can suggest you too. Definitely don't try to understand it from the retardation most of the commenters are spouting in here. Go get your hands dirty. Start using Ethereum, join crypto communities and learn from videos made for education purposes and not for trolling.
I still don't quite understand how a digital randomly generated token anyone can create can be considered as "the one" token for that artwork. If I for instance, hypothetically of course, find some artwork on instagram and just copy it and make an NFT token out of it, then that NFT token is just as legit as the one the original artist would have made. The only difference is really who created it and who owned the artwork at the start. I don't see how NFTs are useful at all to be honest.
Yeah. I feel like when people sell the slightest, and insignificant things like a tweet for millions of dollars, it just doesn’t sound right to me at all. I can understand why art can sell for a lot of money, but the things that some people want to put up for tons of money that isn’t really worth bidding on, it’s just something I’m gonna walk past and ignore. But I definitely like being informed about these things by Muta. That man is doing some great researching into these things. But yeah, that’s just my opinion
@@TheFlamingGamerYT I mean some people will pay crazy amounts of money for anything, so I don't really care aobut the 2.9 million dollar tweet. But I completely understand the idea of NFTs being tokens that could represent someone's digital creation, much like a signed physical painting and so on. But NFTs don't do any sort of true signing as far as I know. My brain can't puzzle together why NFTs are as big as they've become, and I can't figure out why people like it so much. Not sure if it's from a lack of understanding how it works or just me not being interested in selling anything digital like that, or anyting else. The NFT technology is quite interesting but I simply can't figure out why people are THIS interested in it. Maybe I'm just stupid :^)
@@avananana Naw, I wouldn’t say your stupid (I say that just because not only some of us don’t truly know it, but I just don’t wanna call peeps stupid, I’d rather say that you don’t really know about NFT’s because they’re just now being brought to our attention). I’m just gonna still go on doing whatever I’ll do in the future, and I probably won’t invest, or join to make NFT’s. And like you said, I too don’t see any actual good reasoning for NFT’s being a thing. By the way, how are you doing today?
Better to see it more as a "receipt". When you buy something IRL, a proof of transaction is printed on a paper and given to you. When you buy some bullshit for cryptocoins, a proof of transaction is put into a large list (aka. a large blockchain). But this doesn't mean NFTs are worth a damn from a legal standpoint, because there's no legislation around it.
I remember Gorillaz announced they were coming out with NFTs and the fans were upset. One of their albums, Plastic Beach, was about pollution and the fans thought they were hypocrites. It turns out, the creators, Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn weren’t aware of this decision and instead was the marketing team. They have posted an apology and it’s just an Instagram comment and the fans on Twitter are still saying they need to post a real apology.
"I can save the image but I don't own it" So? I still have the image. I can still do whatever I want with it. You're literally just paying for a receipt at that point. Not to mention, unless the artist sends you their literal hard drive with the image in it, you're still just receiving a copy.
Many artists actually hate NFT's. People are selling stolen art pieces at really high prices and they even stole a deceased artist's artwork and put it up as a NFT. I know that people's artwork get stolen all the time in social media but most of time it's only for exposure, it can be bad but not as bad as the amount of harm that NFT's cause at the environment. Even putting the stolen artworks aside, most of the people who buy NFTs doesn't care about the art at all. They're just trying to make profit of off it. Artists are literally selling their artwork to bunch of random people instead of their actual followers.
I consider myself smart, to an extent. Even went for a computer related degree for a time. But shit I do not fundamentally understand anything about NFTs or Crypto. No mater how many people explain it to me I still don't understand.

nobody is gonna buy it though if it's not from the real artist, only dumb people gonna buy without checking that first. Also this can be done without NFTs too.
@@MisterGorr i know but the NFT market opens a whole new avenue for art-stealing, and it easily allows for people to fake being the original artist if the actual artist doesn't use that platform

No. No people in their right mind is going to buy or "invest" into art without checking it's authenticity first. Some low IQ people with money might still gonna end up doing it tho. Things to look out for when you buy: 1. check mark (this don't apply to rarible cuz that place kinda aids) 2. Artist's social media. Did they publish news about going into crypto? 3. If not sure at all just literally shoot a message to the artist asking if they are minting NFTs. If not, then don't buy. If yes, happy days.
This isn’t good for artists at all… this is just another way for people to steal and profit off others art. I expect NFT exchanges to get sued big time for allowing piracy of art works. Beyond that people can sell your likeness which is also illegal and a gross thing to do. I expect this to be dead via legal regulations pretty fast
I don’t need to own art to appreciate it. And as someone who could be considered an artist. I think art belongs to everyone. And if people want to support me they could buy my books with art in it
As an artist it's been a double edged sword, allowing you to make a living from what you're passionate about but at the same time half of twitter wants to crucify you for killing the environment, the pressure is a bit too much
Not just that, you rarely make money off of it if you dont have a following before hand, and its blown the door wide fuckin open to art theft. Nft’s are a negative in my book

Your statement that NFTs add nothing to the world is not true though. NFT's allows the transfer of any digital asset wherein the owner of that asset can be verified within the blockchain. Like cryptocurrencies, NFTs have the benefit that the verification of that ownership is not reliant on a single authority.
Whether the benefit is worth it when it comes to the environmental impact of the blockchain that hosts the NFT's is up for discussion. But that doesn't change the fact that there is some benefits with NFTs

@@ovi5986 Yes, the crypto (ethereum) which acknowledges this, which is why it's moving to a proof-of-stake system where it will use >99% less power.
I think it's quite silly to write off the entire concept of NFTs simply because copyright infringement is taking place, it would be like saying that prints, merch sales, tshirt sales, the entire internet are all awful concepts that should never become a standard, because people are stealing artwork.
Any open marketplace for art will involve copyright infringement, the upside to copyright infringement with NFTs is that stolen art has no value, there is no physical object that you get out of the transaction so you've just handed money over to a scammer for literally nothing, it would be like getting a random person on the street to write up a certificate saying you own the Mona Lisa, you've bought a worthless piece of paper, an ownership certificate written up by the actual owner of the Mona Lisa on the other hand would genuinely be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, even if the conditions of this certificate require the artwork to stay on public display (as is the nature of NFTs)
People this early in the NFT market are probably 90-99% people just looking to sell it later for profit, so people who bought "counterfeit" NFTs will eventually be burned. If NFTs take off as a recognized method of digital ownership, people will easily be able to confirm if an NFT is fake thanks to the nature of the open ledger, no matter how obfuscated scammers may be, the jig is up as soon as you are able to confirm which contracts are legitimate from the original artist, making anyone interested in actually owning an NFT not want to purchase your fake, and if NFTs don't take off and eventually fizzle out and die, then it's worthless anyway, yes it's quite annoying that people are stealing eth from people with this method, but the nature of NFTs mean the artist hasn't really lost out since fake NFTs do not take value away from a legitimate NFT, the only real NFTs in circulation are those made by the actual owner of the work (again, ownership certificates) unlike fake prints, fake tshirts etc which do take value away from any legitimate prints by providing a (usually) cheaper way to obtain a physical good.
@FranklyDoodle Not entirely true, every transaction on a Proof Of Work blockchain has a tangible environmental footprint, when you buy or sell an NFT your transaction is verified by miners, the weight of their verification is based on how much power they've been chugging through on their hardware, obviously each individual transaction has a tiny, miniscule impact but the entire NFT market would make up a sizeable amount of energy, and if it gets more popular that will only increase.
However, the reality is that ~75% of crypto mining is done on renewables already, making it better than centralized financial institutions, since independent mining is automatically incentivized to go renewable for reducing costs, and there are new protocols like Proof Of Stake and Chia's Proof Of Space that are likely to end up as de-facto options in the future that have a miniscule fraction of the power consumption, I fully expect Eth to eventually transition to one of these low-power protocols as they make far more sense, there is no need to have a power-hungry protocol, I would bet my money that BTC will be the only popular crypto to stay on proof-of-work in the next 10 years or so.

@@AgenC yes unfortunately. I have seen and heard of artists getting their works stolen and made into NFTs.
NFTs aren't good for artists, most digital artists hate NFTs because they incentivize people to steal art and makes it very profitable and hard to track
@Nikki Mori Thanks for the correction, english is not my first language
most artists hate it cuz they don't understand it and the only place they getting informed on it is from dangerously retarded twitter users and mainstream media propaganda.
It doesn't incentivize stealing, it's actually made for quite the opposite reason.
If someone trynna "steal" art and resell it they just trying to fool some newbies who should learn and make extra sure that what they are buying is actually been minted by the original artist. It's really easy to check.
I've made this same point on a few other comments, but it's worth recognizing NFTs for what they are: certificates of ownership, there is no NFT that gives you exclusive access to something tangible, afaik every single NFT is attached to an image/song/whatever that is easily accessed, copied, and distributed digitally anywhere anytime.
When someone is stealing art to make an NFT, they are more or less writing up a worthless ownership certificate, it's not like selling counterfeit prints or using stolen art to make tshirts, a fake certificate of ownership doesn't undermine the value of a real certificate of ownership, the only certificate that has genuine value is the certificate written and authorized by the legal owner.
Artists shouldn't feel obligated to track and stamp out fake NFTs, the person buying the NFT should have had the sense to verify the legitimacy of the certificate they purchased, if they are concerned that their art work is being "stolen" then they should, again, remember that the NFT is just a certificate, what is happening is that their art is being used as a medium to scam someone else out of their money, they aren't taking money or potential profit away from the artist, they're like a hooded masked man selling Mona Lisa ownership certificates in an alleyway, the actual owner of the Mona Lisa shouldn't be worried about the masked man "stealing" the Mona Lisa, because he hasn't, he's scammed some idiots out of their money, he hasn't taken value out of selling printed copies of the Mona Lisa, and he hasn't taken value out of the potential eventual resale of the genuine ownership of the Mona Lisa.

What I'm confused about is why do we need the concept of nfts to support artists. Most of them already do commissions and you can pay and ask for a personalized artwork that is MEANT for you, and the sad thing is nft makers are stealing artworks from people like Loish and unofficially selling her artwork as a nft. I honestly think this is more of rich people trend than a way to support artists
definitely a rich people thing. to even create an NFT, you have to throw down $250 minimum. the "starving artist" stereotype is often too true; most artists cannot afford to gamble with $250
Fuck yeah
I can commission one of my friends for a unique piece like "a flamingo fighting a hippo" or some dumbass fuckery that looks so much better than an ai generated image that looks like a doll maker dress up game. And beyond that, I'd be supporting someone financially with what I pay for and what I get

@@MisterGorr You can't own a digital file. The entire point of digital files is that they can be replicated infinitely.
@@NUKELEDGE This is where NFTs come in to solve that issue. You see, when u buy an NFT you don't actually buy the file itself but a token (hence "non fungible token") instead that represents an immutable, cryptographically verifiable piece of evidence of ownership.
Sure, anybody can take a photo of the art, anybody can see it but only one person can actually own it. Same thing with the Mona Lisa. You can look at it, take a picture but it will always be owned by the French government.
The only functional purpose I could see to "owning digital assets" like this would be able to hold the copyright to be able to use the files commercially without recourse, like stock images.

Basically an NFT is the receipt for a transaction of a file. There isn’t actually any proof of ownership, nor does it prove that the file is the “original file” of anything. All it is, is a proof of transfer.

I still don't quite understand how a digital randomly generated token anyone can create can be considered as "the one" token for that artwork. If I for instance, hypothetically of course, find some artwork on instagram and just copy it and make an NFT token out of it, then that NFT token is just as legit as the one the original artist would have made. The only difference is really who created it and who owned the artwork at the start. I don't see how NFTs are useful at all to be honest.
Yeah. I feel like when people sell the slightest, and insignificant things like a tweet for millions of dollars, it just doesn’t sound right to me at all. I can understand why art can sell for a lot of money, but the things that some people want to put up for tons of money that isn’t really worth bidding on, it’s just something I’m gonna walk past and ignore.

But NFTs don't do any sort of true signing as far as I know.

Better to see it more as a "receipt". When you buy something IRL, a proof of transaction is printed on a paper and given to you. When you buy some bullshit for cryptocoins, a proof of transaction is put into a large list (aka. a large blockchain). But this doesn't mean NFTs are worth a damn from a legal standpoint, because there's no legislation around it.

Eh,there are better ways to make money off your art that are less confusing and engery wasting
Not just that, you rarely make money off of it if you dont have a following before hand, and its blown the door wide fuckin open to art theft. Nft’s are a negative in my book

There is literally no way to enforce this, thus being completely useless
There's actually a NFT horse racing game where you buy a digital horse. Seriously. It's called Zed Run or some shit
Some guy was boasting that he won 25 dollars from winning a race but forgot to mention that he had to buy the horse first and pay the fee to enter the race. It's as stupid and scammy as it gets
I don't share Muta's optimism in the slightest. Like most crypto, it's currently scams and get rich fast schemes. It might end up having some use in the future, but for now it will be dominated by scam artists.
