  • I know an artist that got super rich off of NFTs, she didn't own any or had anything to do with the crypto side she just made the "apes" though I think hers were mostly fairies. She's very good at the whole "industrial artist" gig. NFTs honestly seemed like a gold rush for people with the ability to navigate that space. She cleared half a million one year.

    • NFTs will be looked back upon as the golden age for scammers. If I went back in time and told P. T. Barnum about them, he'd weep tears of joy

    • to your friend and her getting her bag from those NFT dorks

    • When Facebook was just starting out in 2005 an artist painted murals for them. He asked for $60,000. They offered the option taking Facebook stock instead. He took the stock. The following article was published in 2017.

      How Facebook graffiti artist David Choe earned $200 million

      It was a risky decision. As Choe told Stern, at that time “Facebook was a joke.” There was no guarantee that the business would amount to anything and his shares could wind up worthless. He took the stock. When Facebook went public at $38 a share in 2012, his stock options were worth $200 million, making him a bona fide multimillionaire. Today the common stock is at more than $171 per share.

      Meta stock right now is $676.49.

      Is every single male even remotely connected to tech like this?...

      Choe and his work have also been the subject of controversy. In June, a newly finished mural by Choe in New York City’s Bowery neighborhood was almost immediately tagged over, reportedly as protest against his alleged history of sexaul assault.
