Meanwhile the environment is being destroyed
When we buy fancy pieces of paper, trees need to be cut down in order to have the art printed on something. In order to get them mailed to us, Tubes made of trees need to be used, trees need to be cut down for the fancy piece of paper to wrap the fancy piece of paper with, plastic needs to be created for the tape to secure both the tube and the paper that surrounds the print. Fuel needs to be used to deliver your fancy piece of paper through both air and car. Trees need to be cut down to frame your artwork, etc...

Now you might say 'Environmentally Friendly' PoS is the solution to all of this, well no that's not the solution either. PoS ultimately leads to chain centralization which will ultimately get disguised as a fancy looking database for the 'haves' to control. These narratives like 'Bitcoin is destroying the Environment' get built into the crypto landscape in an attempt for totalitarians to try and separate you from your Bitcoin. It's a crying shame that people are falling for these narratives. In fact, true decentralized PoW networks like Bitcoin and Ravencoin actually lead to sustainable energy innovation as competition is always looking for an edge to mine Bitcoin/Ravencoin as cheaply as they possibly can.

From what I've seen early, it appears NFT artists care very little about the beauty of what a decentralized blockchain network can provide to humanity and just wanna ride this NFT boom to some quick profits on networks like WAX, BSC or TEZ that clearly won't stand the test of time.

I applied for 1 Hirst. $2k for an OG aint bad and I like the overall project

Hirst dropped by the discord yesterday for an AMA. Pretty cool to have him chatting live. An admin posted that there were 32,472 people that applied for 67,023 NFTs. Run size is 10,000.

have friends nudging me all the time to get into Art Blocks, but haven't bought any yet. I've purchased from Heni in the past though I wasn't sure if that gives an advantage or not

$2k for a run size of 10k... ooffff... no chance he actually made them all, not sure you can qualify these as OGs. the demand seems pretty weak as well for the run size... i would have bit in a second if the run size was 1k. just can't do it for some dots i can make myself at home with my kid... cool idea though.

He said he has 20 people that work for him and are on his team. Theres no hiding that he has a full studio...just like Shep, Brainwash, Warhol......

I would rather have one of these than an open edition on metal.

9,000 total are available. Hirst is keeping 1,000 for giveaways, donations, charitable events, collectors, etc.
