Have any folks here had the nft convo with their anti-crypto art friends? Having done art professionally + managed artists who harbor strong negative feelings, I feel like there’s still a huge understanding gap where the main virtues aren’t being framed in a way that fully relates to their needs and experiences

I’ve tried. They roll their eyes. Need to find a way of saying decentralization and direct pay a different way than crypto.

I’ve spoken with artists about NFTs and none of them were anti-nft. Most of them acknowledged the potential and the upside for them but they didn’t care enough to experiment with NFTs. It’s not clear to me why. Btw nice username! How do you profit?

They understand why NFTs are interesting but they feel like it's impossible to market an NFT drop without it sounding like a money grab. Artists want money to be secondary to the art, and NFTs have been marketed as the opposite.

I usually start off with “I think 90% of crypto culture is bullshit and noise, but crypto ethos is beautiful and isn’t going anywhere” and by validating their feelings that there’s a lot of bs going around, they’re more open to listening to what I have to say

99% of the artists I know are anti-crypto art. they are also highly intelligent people who devote their life to analysing & critiquing to create vs. earning $. it's not really that they don't understand the value/virtue, it's that the space actually doesn't reflect values and virtues they can align with.
