The investment of the future

Saw this Rolling Stone article on Twitter:

Kings of Leon Will Be the First Band to Release an Album as an NFT

 

Will be interesting to see how they've done this with respect to playing the music. I wonder if you can only access via they're own app.

 

What are peoples thoughts on the environmental impacts of crypto art and NFTs?

I've seen them being referred to as nifties now, or nifty (singular).

I grabbed nifties.uk, you never know. Perhaps a platform for UK based buyers to buy nifties in the future.

 

Maybe technology will catch up to run blockchain stuff with less energy, looks like it will need to

 

Tweets are the next big thing. Who knew?!

This crypto-art and NFT craze reminds me of Brewster's Millions.

I think it's incredible, and I'm really pleased for all the artists making a killing right now.

I think they're getting a bit carried away destroying physical things so they can only exist digitally..

 

Personally, I much prefer tangible things.

I don't think I'll ever understand crypto art as any kind of investment, or asset.

But also: it doesn't matter what I think.

 

Unbelievable.

 

What if the camera guy forgot to press record

 

Thankfully it was a 1 of 500 print. I'm all for the current trend but this is ridiculous.

 

Cryptoart .co.uk just sold on Dan. Don't know if seller is on here.
