Agreed. I honestly regret listening to the wave of people discouraging not to get into NFTs early last year. Hell, I didn't want to jump in to make a profit at a start. But, as a digital artist working w/ procedural art tools, it's a really exciting frontier to explore and become an expert in. TLDR: If you're interested, just go. Go learn about it , observe and research it. Hold off on doing anything until you really get how that ecosystem works.

I have never traded any NFTs. However, I certainly agree on your point that when people are buying them for speculative purposes, not for art appreciation, they won't risk buying NFTs from unknown artists. Less well-known artists are perhaps better off selling physical artworks instead. If an artist does not succeed in the physical market, the chance of succeeding in the NFT market (by creation) will be even slimmer. I'm not an artist myself, but it's distressing to hear that this game of NFTs does not help freelance artists at all, making the originally unfavorable competition from bad to worse.

You can also put it that way: If you don't like twitter don't bother NFT's as 90% of the nft community is on twitter If you're planning on selling nft art Instagram/artstation/facebook etc won't do anything for you especially if you're just a digital artist who just makes art you might even get hated for trying to put your art on the blockchain good example of that is artist named WLOP who has a huge patreon follower count and made his patreons really angry by putting out an nft. The thing is nft artists doesn't have too good of a opinion in the community outside of twitter I'd reccomend everyone to stay awyay from nft's unless you're really set on twitter and can make it work or you're someone like beeple.

Hi Apprilynne, thank you so much for this video! You've outlined my exact experience with launching an NFT project, and I've been trying to sum it up for another artist friend of mine, but this explains everything so clearly! I gave myself a month to promote my project on social media, starting from fresh accounts with no followers, and I quickly realized: A. How over crowded the space is, and B. How many other projects have teams of people and investors promoting and creating anticipation for the drop. It's an art form all unto itself! I didn't know anything about the importance of "community building." I say that in quotes because, as an older person, I can't for the life of me understand what it is about Discord that gives anyone a sense of community, but I'm learning! (the hard way - Haha)

As a younger person here I'll give you an inch of my knowledge/experience and someone whose somewhat interested in marketing as well. Discord initially started off as a platform for gamers and a way to talk to friends while playing games. It's still largely that but the anonymousness of it is more of why it's a big social environment now. If you struggle with making friends in the real world you can more easily make a friend in discord. There's a lot to explain with it as well, because the emoji self expression culture of discord is pretty important as well this is why every discord has them.

Good Educative and Informative Video and you absolutely smashed it 100% in explaining what NFTs are. However on if people should create them or not, on the contrary I advise every artists to imediately turn their work into NFTs once made. They are immiately authenticated and deemed original and there are thousands of art communities being formed because of NFTs creating somewhat of a digital art renaissance. You get a chance to join a community and immediately start creting value. Lastly every object in web3 will be owned as an NFT by someone or some organisation and many NFTs collected today will be in-demand Antiques when we move on to the metaverse. Be part of this new renaissance if you are an artisist. Immortalise your work on the blockchain.

Gas fees are meant to be used to offset the environmental impact of NFT blockchain verification, which is a more than substantial amount of greenhouse emissions generated from the amount of power it takes to keep the servers running. They’re intentionally inefficient to make it harder to alter the blockchain data. But gas fees aren’t covering it. Not even close. A blockchain that doesn’t have these fees has no infrastructure whatsoever for offsetting environmental impact.

The analogy with the dollar for fungible.

Down to the creator of the NFT to make it unique completely I guess
@ryanmcgowan30612 жыл бұрын
"The supply side is static." Uh, only if you ignore the entire market, in which the supply side is expanding rapidly. If I make 100 bead bracelets, and no other bead bracelets are like them, that doesn't mean the supply of bead bracelets is fixed. There's still millions of bead bracelets being made. That is WHY creators are finding themselves having to produce thousands of works of art: Because it's the only way to compete when supply is growing too fast (and prices fall fast as a result). You would be far better off using NFTs to enforce copyrights and prove you are the creator of a work of art. It's a great replacement for watermarks, and you can also use NFTs to digitally sign a contract granting rights to a buyer.

Got to edit your audio, i had to tap out half way through. Just a tip: take your audio track and run 4-band compression and a De-esser on it, bring down the 4 bands until you hear the peaks even out. That sound of ceramic tiles sliding around on S's T's P's it's not your voice, it's the mic picking up your voice and since different pronounciations in reality come out at different volumes the mic peaks. You can fix this by compressing and evening out the lows and highs of spoken words and then removing the SSSSS with the de-esser. It's very easy to do, a few clicks and you'll sound a million times better.

So basically graphic design marketing agencies and celebrities are the only ones to make money as they have a following a mile wide and the money needed to set it all up, so what do actual artists and freelancers do then as this is who everyone is marketing to.

Aprilynne, I wouldn't consider a dollar as an example of something that is Fungible. While 1 dollar can be exchanged for 1 dollar, this is only an equal exchange of value. Every dollar has a serial number on it that is (in theory) not the same as any other dollar. Hence you can argue that a US Dollar, in physical form, is more like an NFT then not. If NFT art is only known as such because of a unique NFT tag, which is a series of characters, then every paper US Dollar is the physical equivalent of an NFT, just not attached to a blockchain.

You are doing a great job by educating people here. But i disagree with you on few things. You dont have to have 10k items to start. Right now only reason people generate 10k is number of buyers is less, so by having a large collection they wont help their owner make money. But if you look at Adam Bomb squad they have 100k items, but they are already establish brand. Which doesn’t harm to their reputation. Lately more more nfts are expanding their number eg CloneX recently minted 20K nfts. More and more project will start doing it because of the benefit of having large audience. Secondly i disagree where you say by having 30 piece you wont make money. Which is right and wrong. Let me explain, if you have 30 items for sale with great art and utility and community. You will actually make more money because of its scarcity when more and more collector come across your art piece. They will pay more due to its scarcity. You are right if the person fails to execute on the roadmap which will lead to death of project. Adding one more reason why starting with 1 to 1 or 30 piece why it is better. You can always create more art if your project seeks eyeballs. But genesis token holder will be rewarded for believing in you before any other collector.

So if you make a 10,000 collection of NFTs and sell them on opensea the user pays for the fees not the creator?

Good explanation. I get people are making money off of them by buying and flipping them, but the people buying them and thinking that a digital NFT will be like a Van Gogh collector think may be in for a shocker later down the line if they paid big money and hold on to them. And the people that don't cash out will be in for a shocker also. NFTs are nothing like a Van Gogh which are truly one of a kind pieces of art. An NFT is digital art which can be replicated identically. So someone holds a certificate saying they own the rights to the original copy, big deal. It's just a digital image and nothing unique about it like a one of a kind artwork created by an artists own hands, feelings, visions etc. on a canvas or whatever of which cannot be mass reproduced. Sure you can make a digital image of a painting but it is not like the original unlike an NFT. People went crazy and paid lots of money and even fought over Beanie Babies, Cabbage Patch dolls and Elmo's. Now they are worth nothing. The people who made money were the ones who got in early and sold them before the craze died down.

I agree that it takes an audience to sell NFT's, but I don't think that is the only factor. I think people who sell NFTs need to think through a collection.
@NFTsSimplified2 жыл бұрын
There are definitely MANY factors that go into whether or not an NFT project will be successful

What value would an nft have in reality? Does it cost to create? It seems like connecting with others is becoming more and more superficial and based on consumption. This is a direct hit to the purpose of life. A human beings purposeful journey in real connection attached with an emotion
@tokyowarfare67292 жыл бұрын
everytime I heard a comparison between a phyisical piece of art vs NFT I really find it inonsense. If the real word copy was the very same at atom level as a digital copy is, both paintings would be valued the same bcause they're the same thing. And TBH, for me the NFT point would be the point of being the sole popietor of a particular piece of art, more like a global trademark thing

You can use lazy minting, just pay for deploy the contract on blockchain. Of course cost to deploy on Ethereum is quite high

NFTs are just digital grant deeds. They are not a new idea, just a new technology. It never made sense to own a deed on a meme. It made sense to own a grant deed on art, however, as the owner can dictate when and where it is shown. If the owner has no control over that, it's effectively worthless. Eventually that's going to sink in, and all the money people spent on NFTs (at least NFTs backed by art and memes) will crash. Yeah, you own a meme or a picture, but you don't own the rights to it. So what? I'd rather own the rights than the thing itself.
