There are so many PFP projects out there now and preparing to launch that the space is becoming saturated, there's talk of which projects have enough utility (gaming/DeFi etc) combined with high enough quality artwork to really stand out and survive a bear market. I'd really like to see the money move away from PFP projects and into more creative art and music.
There are individual artists and musicians/producers (including myself) making one-off pieces but they aren't attracting the volumes the PFP projects are. Hopefully this will change."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

There will be people who will buy those things from you and other artists simply as a way of supporting you, they probably would donate if you set up a GFM though as well."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

So what do they actually get for their money, and why would they want this NFT?
They always seem to be purchased via cryptocurrency, so maybe that's all I need to know ... just another band-wagon to jump on, more emperors new clothes?
Happy to be educated.

Mind you, I'm not sure being renowned as a gullible mug for spending a fortune on a potentially worthless asset is a Good Thing!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Oh well. Good luck to those doing well, but if I don't understand it then it's not for me.Last edited by Whorty; 28 September 2021, 10:33.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
