Exactly, there's not a whole lot of choice and people evaluate a lot of decisions.
I know I elect an MP not a PM, that's a start in democracy. I've voted for different parties or abstained based upon my local MPs.
I had a friend who used to rant on about the evil Tories and the evil people that voted for them, knowing I have voted for a Tory MP previously. When I would mention surely voting Labour that left hundreds of thousands of dead in the middle east and a highly destabilised region decades later must make her pause for thought, it was all a bit of a shrug really. She also saw the Lib Dem student fees as far worse than the war, which I can't agree with but ultimately is her prerogative. It's far easier to reconcile yourself with the dead when they're brown ones abroad I guess.
I think we would all be better knowing that we all vote for a multitude of reasons, and the more we reduce to morons vs non morons the worst we are all off.

My latest digital painting is available to buy on Opensea as an nft.
I'm still very new to the whole thing and I'm not an expert on digital tokens but I know plenty of people making good money from their work.
Alongside this Bowie series, I've uploaded all of my old animations and will hope for the best. I don't expect them to sell for the asking price but people make offers so it's just a case of waiting. Some of you guys could smash it on there and on the street I'm sure!
Edit: There are other platforms that don't need money to start up but after lots of research, this is the best marketplace at the moment with the most users.
Initial cost to verify your account can vary as it's dependent on the gas price at that time, it cost me about ยฃ50 but now I can mint as much as I like.

Let us know how you get on. I'm still put off by the environmental destruction and pyramid scheminess of it all.
Also, what's the price of gas bit about?
Also also, what are you selling exactly? Can you never repost your gifs if they sell or are you just selling a copy?

The environmental is a big debate at the moment but most big mining companies are using renewable energy now but I totally get what you mean.
Gas is a charge for an electronic transaction and is how the miners get their money. On opensea you pay a one off gas fee. You also pay gas if you accept an offer but you can get round that by lowering your price rather than accepting.
You are selling a token represents your artwork. You can still post it as much as you want but you can only tokenise it once.
Don't be afraid to set your price high, you can always drop it

What are you selling exactly?
With physical art, you have an original. Or you have a serialised print. With title/copyright, you're selling exploitation rights. There's some relationship between the price and the quality. That quality factor includes both artistic values and rarity.
With NFT you are selling a number. As I understand it, the NFT is just a (blockchain?) code that's associated with some random thing. It doesn't stop anyone legally or morally making an infinite number of copies of whatever your NFT is attached. Your particular thing isn't even a particular thing. In the case of digital things, it can be utterly indistinguishable from any other copy of the thing. It's not even like it's steganographically embedded in an image.
Seems to me like it's just a method invented by money launderers needing something that's currently not illegal.

Itโs simply not possible to detect this in an automated way, thereโs no algorithm that can decide it. Ultimately, in the grey areas, it can only be determined by litigation.

So the seller can prove they sold it and the buyer can prove they bought it (within the security provided by the block chain in question; if you have more than 50% of the computing power used for Bitcoin, for instance, you can control it completely.)

Collectors can see exactly what you've minted and sold previously and for how much. It's a totally open market where you can't hide anything.
You could possibly repeat stuff on other platforms but as artist you need integrity, so you stick to the rules or you don't sell anything.

blockchains do nothing.
why can't i copy your image and derive a nice big svg from it, stick it in a folder with this and modify the folder & files' metadata to suggest it was created and modified five years ago.
then i could generate an nft in a competing blockchain, cos it's all the rage don'tcha know, and sue you for breach of copyright?
i'd also be willing to bet that blockchains that store nfts and their transactions are far less attractive to serious miners, assuming proof-of-work consensus is used; i guess i'd be concerned for the long-term integrity of these blockchains.

the claim that a cease & desist could be issued is laughable, as the whole point of blockchain is once something's on there it can't be removed. still, the link they buy isn't generally a direct one to the post anyway, it's to a redirect, and I'm sure all the people paying millions for unique sequences of numbers will be chuffed as nuts to find out they point to a "this image was leached from Photohub" 404.

It doesn't MEAN anything, or convey ANY right or exclusiveness to you regarding anything other than the token itself. The artist might declare the token is tied to an artwork, in the same way they can say the artwork is tied to the 'struggle of the working man' or a 'smell of the colour purple' but it means f*ck all. The only thing you're buying is the token, and that's only worth what anyone is willing to pay for it.
