Why I am looking forward to the next few months of #NFT space:

1. Greater conversations will begin to happen about conceptual art

2. More people will be willing to test ideas for NFTs outside of trading monkey pics

3. Full wash out of over-influenced ape holders

People have been guided down the wrong path by poor UI and UX at places like @opensea, which has had an outsized effect on what people are willing to explore or investigate when it comes to art, finance and technology

NFTs have been presented to us as a click and buy technology

they've been used to support massive debt borrowing with people using their NFTs as collateral while they chase magnitudinal returns on cryptocurrency.

They've been conned into believing they have IP rights, when they don't. That's a separate process that an NFT does NOT GIVE u.

they've watched as brands like Tiffany's jumps into the fray by pretending to do some weird smart contract mumbo-jumbo to give you a piece of jewelry that you pay for (over and beyond what it's worth) and YOU NEVER KNOW the name of the designers who made it.

That's the complete opposite of what the core value proposition of an NFT is. It shows you who the artist is. It tells you when it was made. It is an immutable record of a moment in history.

It matters WHO makes something. It doesn't matter what they make or what it looks like.

I suspect in the next eight to nine months, people will begin to understand a radical and revolutionary conceptual art movement has begun that is going to roll back decades of poorly conceived brand strategies at consumer brands, and bring forth many new artists.

The potential for creativity is fucking huge.
I've jumped into it. I was always a word artist before, but the fact that I can be remembered, and the fact that I can give people laughter, desire, warm fuzzy feelings with my non-verbal art makes me rethink who i am as an artist.

Did #BAYC do that for people? No. BAYC conned people into behaving like the traditional franchisee who buys something, for much more than it's worth, and builds a business of it, using someone else's work, and someone else's poorly thought out business strategy, fuelled

Not by actual creators, but by finance people who only wanted to use this brief epoch to take over as much internet territory as they could, as fast as they could, before you had the chance to learn.

Well, that's not going to happen. Artists are in your area.

Be ready. Rise.
