There was a whole wave of tiktoks about @Dead_Drops last year. π₯οΈπ§± Some explain it very well but most of them are quite hilarious exaggerating. π±π Also a good way to understand how tiktok works and content spreads there. #deaddrops#4ever !! π :) #tiktok #Thread 1/

A thread:
Blockchain, nfts and smart contracts are not the new medium. The driving force in making art with nfts is a very old one: It is money! Andy Warhol: βMaking money is art, good business is the best art.β The promise of βgetting rich quick!β. Sadly money is the medium here.
