inkary:trashmonkey-mcgee:trashmonkey-mcgee: inkary: Commission for @agent-macleod! Good job for making me do something I don’t want to for money (that something being drawing backgrounds and more than 1 character on a single picture) There are 9 total Objects on the picture and a hint for 10th. I’m afraid there is no prize if you can name them all. <3 Thinking about NFTs and this rn.I commissioned OP to make this when I had a little money. It’s the only art I’ve ever commissioned. All the characters are licensed under Creative Commons. But I wrote Alexei Belitrov. I wrote the story (stories? It’s been a long time) where Alexei is friends with SCP-191 and some of the other characters in this piece. Inkary, OP, created this piece of art about those stories (albeit because I paid her (inkary if I got your pronouns wrong I apologize and I’ll fix it)). Together, even though it’s technically creative commons and otherwise not tied to us, we own this.I don’t need a blockchain to tell me that I did all this. I don’t need a blockchain to tell me I paid inkary to create this art based on one of my stories. Inkary doesn’t need a blockchain to tell her that she made the damn thing and it came out good. And I didn’t pay her as an investment, I paid her because I like her art and I had money at the time.Even if the art was good, and even if there was no art theft involved in NFTs, they would still be a scam. You don’t need complicated cryptographic algorithms to confirm your ownership of something. You don’t need art to be an investment – in fact, art shouldn’t be an investment.But I wouldn’t even care if the cryptographic algorithms cryptocurrency and blockchains are built on were only wasting the dupes’ resources. But they’re not. NFTs and cryptocurrencies are poisoning the skies and the waters and the earth to make a quick buck for the people at the top and to help them scam the dupes on the bottom. Fuck you. I hope your worthless monkey picture was worth it. I hope your pyramid scheme comes tumbling down and you’re left with nothing.Even if the NFT people and crypto bros never get what’s there’s, I know I’ll always have what’s mine: a cool picture made by a cool person. Thank you again for making this for me, inkary. ayo man, you know if some mf mints it i will go out of my way to have it taken down “ NFTs and cryptocurrencies are poisoning the skies and the waters and the earth to make a quick buck for the people at the top and to help them scam the dupes on the bottom. ““You don’t need art to be an investment – in fact, art shouldn’t be an investment.“ Thank you -- source link
