Beeple Explains The Absurdity Of NFTs | So Expensive

[nikhnp]

People are amazed about the fact that he has done one render a day for 13 years and I am more amazed that he did not cuss even once.

[nolanmartin]

People will glance over the fact that Mike made an artwork everyday for 13 years straight. While also letting VJ's use his animations for free at events like Coachella, and other music festivals. This guy has done tutorials, givin free content to people and stayed consistent for over a decade.

Dont look at this as an overnight success or even something that was easy. Its really not and the odds of you being able to do any of this is incredibly low, especially if you are only going to get into art for money.

NFT are the biggest WTF moment I ever seen.

“When bankers get together they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money.”

Even the artist questioning the value of his own art make you wonder about the people who buy it

In some years i expect to see
"The rise and fall of NFT Art"

Wasn't in 5 minutes though. He works every single day.

[sudstahgaming]

With crypto currency and nfts I understand the world less then I ever have before I mean wtf

Having a dynamic strategy cannot be overemphasized when trading. The best advice I could give to any trader is don’t trade if you don’t have a working strategy.

[akastenas]

It's almost we are living in an absurd parallel world since 2020.

The purpose of NFT is not art, it is creating/duplicating your money. You create art, your rich friend buys it. You give money back, keep the art. The art becomes a token of what has been paid. You liquidate the token, get real money, someone else can inflate it and sell to someone else.

It's basically creating tokens of real money and later selling them for real money, while the owner is left worth the "idea" of value.

Quite genius really, however highly highly manipulated. Not relevant either.

Business Insider: Changes title from $70 million to $69 million

I'm actually really happy for him. I've followed Beeple for a long time, and I'm happy to see he's actually making money from something he enjoys doing.

Never stop dreaming. Be hungry and never stop believing in your dreams. If someone can do it, you can do it. Be strong

[mikecollins]

People paid high prices for tulips hundreds of years ago because "someone" made others think they were really valuable. Nothing really has value until someone says it does. Then it's up to you to either believe it is or isn't. If you think these jpegs and gifs are worth what someone says it is, go ahead. Just don't be surprised if it all comes crashing down. Like the tulip price did.

[HustlesInc]

Beeple is a awesome artist and so much money to be made in NFTs because of the crypto whales though tbh. I'm just a glad to be a part n understand the space so well. Just got into Bangsta Bears nft and the community is awesome, I've learned a crap ton!

[salvatoredelilleorlansino]

He really deserved this after 18 years of publishing hir artwork for free. For anyone saying he got lucky, that's just dumb cause he'd done so much before he got this hit.

[livelyosprey]

So when you're buying a tweet or some digital art for multiple millions, what are you getting that other don't? I don't see the point

[rullyandriyanto]

The real lesson here is he make sketch everyday from 2007.

[louisclifford]

I came here to learn how to invest after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made $460, 000 in 4 months from $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things, but I'm still confused, I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.

[ritiktyagi]

I thought spending money on in game loot was a waste, imagine my surprise when i saw this 😂😂
