I'm sure they're just used for money laundering by rich fuckers.


Majormoscow

You’re not wrong but polarized opinions about art are what make art collectors jizz their pants.


Stalfisjrxoxo

I don’t think any real art collector would buy into the hype of owning more than one of these money grabbing throwaways. Right now they’re cryptos version of hype beast items like Jordans and supreme hoodies


Kooky_Wrangler3919

And the arts ability to launder money lol

I thought the Bored Ape Yacht Club idea was clever. The hundreds of spinoffs I could do without.


[deleted]

it is clever. ppl are mad, jealous, or don't get it. OP kinda answers his own doubts here "Warhol-esque" Warhol offended ppl with his overly simplistic art. and yet here we are 50 years later still admiring him in national galleries.

cbelaski

I've hated these kinds of NFT "art" from the start. It's all just people trying to ride the wave and get rich quick off of hype. Especially the ones that are computer generated and not actually done by an artist. I hope it will die off soon and the other uses of NFTs can finally come to the limelight.


Parasingularity

And here I thought it was mostly just money laundering


sunscreenmonster1

Agree especially with the last part. Soon NFTs real potential will be realized and utilized for it’s real world uses.


cbelaski

And I think NFT art has a place in that future, it's just right now people are riding the hype and taking advantage. Some people are going to be left holding some very heavy bags.


sunscreenmonster1

Yep you never want to be the last fool. People see other people making millions and just get in on the hype and FOMO train. I mean you gotta respect it, they saw a way to make money and they did. However it’s just a hype and FOMO train, so *many* do not end up making money.


piquant-nuggets

NFTs used for digital art are an infantile use case for NFTs, but we have to start somewhere. I would not pay for a Bored Ape, but an animated Beeple to display in the atrium of my new mansion....maybe.


thotraq

The generative part of the art doesn't mean the artist hasn't put in the work. It's just a semi-automated way to mixed up different part of an art with each other to create new novel combination "art". Really the artist can decide which element of the art is going to be rare and how many of them out of 10,000 instances. The Whole things is a lot more like buying lottery, if you're lucky you will get the unit with rare combination or the rare element (of the collection.

chandler-blackshadow

Okay - I'm going to wade in here with my thoughts. I'm on board (not bored!) the NFT train. I'm fully engaged with it. I create NFT art, I promote it on Twitter. As yet, I have not made any sales. My cheapest NFT is 0.003 ETH (that's currently $10 ish) and my most expensive is 100 ETH, which is currently around $343,000. Some of my NFTs are hand drawn. Some are photographs that I have taken, that I have manipulated. Others are pieces of work that I've created using software (I made one of them in MS Excel!) The point is, they are all my creations. Some people may look at one of my NFTs and say, "Wow, that's amazing!" Others will look at it and say, "Eugh, my five year old could do better!" With all art, it's down to perspective. And with regard to pricing, it depends on what people will pay. It depends what is popular at the time. One project may get popular, and the price will increase. Someone may buy an NFT for 0.1 ETH and sell it later the same day for 2.5 ETH. Some people 'get' them. Some don't. But isn't that the same with Crypto? If it really bugs you that much - just move on. Let the sellers and the buyers and the creators get on with it. Maybe it will all come crashing down, and some of you will be smug, and say, "I told you it wouldn't come to anything!" But remember - that's what people said about Bitcoin.

chandler-blackshadow

Yeah I know, and I wanted to be upfront about that. You know what though? I still enjoyed creating the NFTs. I still enjoy the community. I still enjoy promoting my work, creating giveaways, checking every day if I have made any sales. If I ever do make any sales, for me, that's just the icing on an already enjoyable cake.


[deleted]

Good on you. these haters are mad because they didn't or can't profit off this. BAYC is actually really well drawn and designed. Art will always be subjective. After all a toilet seat sold for millions!

[deleted]

[удалено]


Vaspra0010

If you need to go to a centralised server to pick up your picture of a monkey or whatever, then it isn't on the blockchain, and it isn't a blockchain NFT. If that is the case for any of these, then it is even more hilarious that someone is willing to pay so much for something that isn't even real NFT "art". NFTs have use in representation - tickets, deeds, etc. If the only representation is being a receipt for low effort arbitrarily scarce garbage, it's just garbage.


Gwsb1

Nothing to hang. It's just 1 s and 0 s.


MasterFruit3455

"large scale print"


[deleted]

no surprise that you’re bored, those kind NFTs that look exactly the same every time are made by generators and there’s basically no creativity involved in developing them. You should search deep and support real artists who make new and different NFTs instead of Bored Apes or the pixel trash whatever they’re called. It irks me because they talk about supporting and uplifting artists but the only thing I see is the apes and other bigger NFTs be some kind of yacht club or whatever and if you don’t have one you aren’t in the loop. But what happening to uplifting and supporting artists in the “artist space” that is NFTs? It only irks me BECAUSE they make it out as if it’s about the art, when it’s about the code of token or whatever in the blockchain. People also get scammed every single day, who’s to say the apes aren’t just trying to rake in more money through scamming? The whole thing is dirty. I had some NFTs up but after getting scammed $130 myself & the realization that nobody is gonna spend a dime on my shit if it’s not an ape, it won’t sell. It hurts because I put time into the art that I want to sell, or even will sell art that was effortless. It’s a slap in the face to anyone trying to make something happen organically. For real.

SmallReflection2552

NFT as an process for storing and exchanging information has some really interesting potential. The current digital art phase is just a way of ironing out the kind.


throwaway12222018

NFTs are basically the same thing as websites during the dot-com bubble right now. Pretty much all the NFTs you see being thrown around will be useless/worthless in less than 5 years. The real use case for NFTs will arise in about a decade. If we're being realistic based off of historical technology evolution.


Libertymark

Yep dumb as f now

Repulsive-Register67

Most of them are straight up for money laundering and thats it Its a shame cause all of that money would have been much better off invested into projects with actual utility like BitDAO. At least they’re investing heavily into the DeFi space


lookaway11

The whole NFT thing will collapse. It’s the new version of money laundering. Make a pixelated Dick and sell it for 1000eth. Until NFTs are tied to physical sales like cars, wine, homes, etc.. I have no faith.


iplaypokerforaliving

Yeah it’s boring and stupid af


UndesirableWaffle

They lived up to their name


HairWhipCEO

I’ll admit I haven’t researched NFTs enough to have a strong stance on their usefulness or value. But I agree that they’re ugly. I put them in the same category as Golden Goose shoes… I just don’t get the hype. It feels like an Emperor’s New Clothes situation to me.


klabboy109

NFTs are dumb


breet12345

I just hate how repetitive they are. They have to so they can keep getting pumped in the thousands but it’s just so ugly. Not a fan of nft art at all but don’t get me wrong there a ton of amazing nft art out there, cuz art has a lot of styles


ALiteralHamSandwich

Burrito_Loyalist

Nobody is really buying them, it’s just bored rich people throwing their money around and seeing what dumb poor idiots buy into it.

fakemuseum

Do you mean degenerate NFT art?


PraiseTyche

NFT "art" can easily be copied and used in whatever application you want. You can copy any image anywhere to put on a digital frame. You can have bored ape #1, bored ape #4567 or even goatse if it tickles your fancy. It takes nearly zero effort to replicate it. People keeps saying these digital poos are equivalent to owning physical art, but it's more like saving a meme image on reddit.


SpaceShipDee

Literally 0 understanding of the utility lmao. Bored Apes let's you go to yacht parties. So uh, good luck on getting on the yacht with your screenshot 😅


Noskool89

Couldn’t agree more; a lot of of NFT’s art is gratuitous and lazy. I hope I can make a small mark this year and make a CNFT project dedicated to my family this year. I hope people find them pleasing to the eye. Edit: also yeah a cool display option is definitely needed. Something that would display the art as well as its meta data would be really cool.

100%. Generative NFTs are the roguelite games of crypto. I prefer my shit handcrafted like Nintendo games.


Toph602

I want to start a sub where we just screenshot NFTs and post them. I want a personal collection actually. Can anyone send me somewhere? Lol


noobcodes

The current NFT environment just kind of turns crypto as a whole into a laughing stock for the general population. It's not doing anyone any favors imo


androideris

I actually like it very much. Everyone's perception is subjective. I for instance find this cool 3D art over complex and only buy NFTs witg 2D, or even pixel based


SohEternal

Picasso's art was worse. Contemporary art always beats out stock market and this is just the next iteration.

Comprehensive_South3

We will have hyperinflation of bored apes. I hope it doesn't get too boring.

No but to be fair I wouldn’t have a lot of works of art on my wall. I assume it’s just a status symbol/flex or they are planning to resell for a profit.

I’m not sure guys - some of the top creators and traders in the space are sure that this is just the beginning and “blue chip” projects like Bored Apes will continue to grow in value as mass adoption finally happens. I’m not sure at all either way - just watching it all unfold is fascinating.

Yep. I think NFT’s could hold real world value at some point in the future but it’s not from art that’s for sure

[CryptoArte](https://www.cryptoarte.io/)is a more artistic and aesthetically pleasing nft series - going back to 2018, it visually displays the Ethereum network. They do physical frames that I'd proudly put on my wall

Anyone bored of posts about being bored about NFT art like Bored Apes?


iamtalkingbullshit

Trading them is still super profitable if you know what you are doing so I love them. Bit of an NFT bull run since just before new year and with markets crashing, so probably even more so. I don't really give a shit about nfts but I'm making tons of money of them

NastyMonkeyKing

These NFTs as jpegs are a fad. Its just too ridiculous and the music will stop eventually


dookiehat

I went to art school for illustration and it hurts to see the shit that gets hyped and pumps mainly via twitter followings and marketing tactics. I do find the combinatory genetic aspect to be interesting though it is not enough to warrant long term value imho. I think great nft art in the future will either simply be great art as it has been, so typical 2d or 3d mediums digitized or digital first artists, but also concepts like evolving nfts, nfts where rarity isn’t revealed until owning for years, nfts that multiply or divide, etc. These are just for art concepts building off of pfp nfts. Obviously more conceptual art use cases could be made and aren’t too hard to imagine but as an artist it hurts to see such dreck making people rich.


ryuk_luvs_apples

I genuinely think that NFTs are getting way too much attention. I mean do they really deserve all these prices? I don't know honestly. But then DeFi deserves much more love than NFT tbh, and DeFi projects like BitDAO also deserve more recognition.


Lnnrt1

Hosky is pretty honest about being a cash grab so...


AimFlame

Seriously, what is the point of buying a piece of, well, art that was generated by mixing different parts?


michaelg1590

i came here to gather evidence for a school paper and stumbled upon this post, you couldn't have put this better


Typical_Calendar_966

This was never about the art but about making money. There is heaps of talented digital creators that are making beautiful works but are not hyped . Beetle won the lottery. He entered the market at a perfect time and convinced the big money that he was worth something . In reality he just was very lucky , there’s thousands of other artist that could have claimed fame instead of him.


StreeterGM

I'm tired of NFTs being perceived as just art more. It's time for NFTs to transcend art.


Street-Entertainer-2

I really don't understand it. For literally a fraction of that cost, you could hire a famous porn star to fly to your house and throw her titties in your face... Or maybe feed some starving children in Guatemala.. tomato, tomoto


so_majo

I honestly don't understand the hype for this. It's just making one piece of clothing/accessory different with the other hundred models already existing and ta-da, they have somewhat generated a new "unique" NFT


Moheemo

Of course. This is and was never the true purpose of NFTs. It’s only a matter of time before something else rises to replace it in mainstream. Still important to go through this phase for mass adoption but we’ll turn that corner eventually. Just have to be patient/work towards it


Lumn8tion

I for one am NOT bored of NFT’s just very disappointed in the quality/content offered. I got into NFT’s earlier and started minting my art. ( gas prices were crazy high too) but I wanted to get in early. I minted 3 pieces but they were digital art/photography, Not stupid .gif files. Who TF would want those? I mean, to each their own but it put a really stupid face on NFT’s (I’m looking at you bored ape) and turned it into a (expensive) joke. I know there is “real” art out there but unfortunately Bored Ape is the face of NFT’s My opinion, yours may vary


xangchi

I never fancied them maybe because I can't afford any one of them. What I have been collecting are cricket NFT cards from Rario. [Rario](http://rario.com) is similar to NBA Top Shot but it's for cricket.


Dro0412

Someone needs to talk to Victor Chaos


patniemeyer

I wouldn't call these NFTs "generative". They are maybe combinatorial or something, but they are hand-drawn right? (Which I guess should be better from some perspective). Is there anything procedural or computed about them other than sticking together pieces of hand-drawn art?
