#NFT art was born into two contexts. There are actually two Renaissance moments happening at the same time.

1. The first is a struggle between what is visually appreciated, what is considered art

2. The second is a dialogue about decentralisation and control for artists
The CryptoPhunks were delisted twice because, who knows. There are no logical explanations for it, other than the most likely: the people running OpenSea have no clue what art is and they don't understand copyright, image and visual practice.
