- if elon can decide the price of bitcoin, it has failed as a currency
- ok so you hate NFTs. cool, let's talk about it. i'm not gonna convince you, but at least i can offer the perspective of an artist who has been involved in the space since 2017 before any of you heard about it.
- i made more income from one NFT drop than my 15 year career as a musician. can I be exploited some more? plzThis post is unavailable.
- 1.85 ETH (~$5.7k) in royalties in 1 week. this was generated by 36 people. It would take 1.4 million plays to generate this on spotify. not counting the primary sale of 10 ETH (~$31k) which is the equivalent of 7.75 million plays 136 people generated more than 9.1mil people.
- Calculating carbon footprint based on transaction count fundamentally misunderstands how ethereum works. Every argument for this is all based on this flawed principle. Blocks will happen regardless of your transaction count.
- Replying to @RACa lot of people seem to miss that the entire point of NFTs is to make content FREE while making ownership scarce. nobody is forcing you to pay for an NFT, you can still enjoy it FOR FREE alongside everybody else. you like my music? you can have it for free.
- Replying to @RACclaiming all NFTs are a scam is about as tone deaf and uninformed as it gets. it's pure ignorance. it's like saying all cheese is bad, or that all music sucks. yeah, some are bad, but like anything, there are tasteful and smart and interesting ways to do anything.
- ETH 2.0 🚀🚀🚀
- Replying to @RACscarce ownership empowers artists to make WAY more income without stupid ad based models. it eliminates the exploitative models of Spotify, Apple, Amazon, etc.. unit based/per play economics in an infinitely copiable medium makes no sense whatsover.when a work is priced by creating infinite digital copies, it’s no surprise that it’s priced incredibly low. It’s an old physical world concept that was embraced by web2. web3 flips this concept and provides a new model. infinite free access for all but scarce ownership.
- this is completely surreal. @RollingStone has kindly named me one of the Future 25 shaping the music industry. I do most things in a vacuum and expect nothing but it’s really nice to be recognized for all the hard work. ✨ rollingstone.com/pro/features/r…
