1/ IDEA
wealthy art collectors collect to signal wealth (to peers)
yet subject themselves to criticism (from masses) for spending their cash seeking to futilely possess impermanent status by possessing something RARE and permanent (masquerading as something sublime)
NFTs...

2/ With NFTs...
why not turn philanthropy into scalably signal art
(sounds gross + objectifying but no more or less absurd than some NFTs themself)
SELL: unique NFT per photo of every human helped/aided/treated
*thus displaying + turning act of benevolence to art asset*
Go Do

3/ It could be @JRart NFT'd but every image of every person has to be bid for in auction, with ALL the money going to specific need of the subject depicted by JR
4/ I mean it sounds just awful like:
'Human Suffering. Collect them all!'
But why not CONVERT the default grotesqueness of the latter (hoarding assets + 'collecting') to reduce the grotesqueness of the former (reduce suffering)
plus, philanthropy IS 'performance art' for many

5/ Like you walk into hedge fund titan office and instead of a dead shark preserved in formaldehyde having converted cash to awe
it is just art DISPLAY of thousands + thousands of pictures of real humans, each one unique NFT of individual they helped cure a disease, save child
