if you're an artist who is keeping quiet about NFTs and thinking "why is everyone being so mean? all the NFT people seem so nice!"

please take a step back for a second and look at other groups that use "love bombing" and more importantly, why they use it.

"they say NFTs are going to get better soon!"

cryptoart has been around for years in the same form it's in now. it has had ample time to change. if they change it will be because they fear losing their product... which is you.

"they say i can get royalties from my art and that i can prevent fakes!"

they're lying to you. this system is broken and can easily be exploited by those who understand it, and odds are you are not one of those people.

"hmm thinking about doing cryptoart... "

your followers: please don't
rando bitcoin chuds: YES this would be a GREat NFT to da MOON!! 🚀🌕

"well i guess the nice bitcoin man must be correct!"

🙄

"hmm these other artists don't like this NFT stuff... they must be jealous. they should just try harder. i worked hard for this!"

imagine thinking because you won at a casino you "worked hard". they lavish you in praise/incentives to keep you from cashing out. you're on a roll!

i'm not talking about anyone in particular btw, just pointing out this all too common thought process that power uses to turn you against your colleagues and comrades.
