NFTs could have been a cool and fun way to support digital artists you like. It could have been the digital equivalent of going to an art show and buying an original painting from a favorite artist. Yes, a print of the same paining is just as good and a lot cheaper, and even though you own the original paining you still don't own the copyright for it, you only own the canvas, but none of that is the point of owning art. It's fun to own the original painting and you are supporting artists you like by buying their work. No one ever mocked someone for owning an original painting instead of a print.
NFTs could have been like that if crypto-bros didn't ruin them.
@1dalm @the5thColumnist @thomasfuchs nfts we’re never going to be that because you were never really buying a thing, just the pointer to the thing. If you want to support artists, just buy their things and give them money.
