The True Value of NFTs with Emonee LaRussa

Yes!! "By the time they're available to do a passion project, they're burned out." This is such a great explanation for how NFTs can really allow artists to do their best work while making a flexible living.

NFT's are dead no?

I guess I dont fully get it. You say that through NFT's you can lock certain aspects behind a paywall, such as exclusivr content, educational content, etc. I don't see what this has to do with NFT's.

It relies on a larger following (lets use an IG account with 100k followers as an example), you are the banking on a percentage being "super fans" and supporting you financially (lets use the example of converting 1% of your IG followers to Patreon, so 1k monthly paying supporters).

So how does an NFT revolutionize this? What is the actual value this NFT brings? All that I see is a speculative secondary resale market, which then pushes it from "fans" to "investors".

I dunno, I hear alot of claims about this helping small artists. From what I see, it will only help you if you have an existing fan base, and even then there plenty of alternatives (Patreon, Prints, Custom Pieces, Courses, etc)

I’m in as long as it’s not tied to crypto. All crypto is scam.

Are we supposed to be happy that there’s now an even faster way of burning energy and contributing to climate change while introducing more artificial scarcity into the market…? Nope

This was great. Appreciate your perspective and like what you are doing for the community. As a digital artist myself, I find NFTs confusing, so thank you for this.

Love you Emonee!

When you go to the supermarket can you buy with nfts? This worls is a really big shit.

Best use of NFTs is to scam people

Dang, that MoonPay sponsorship money seems to be getting around still.

It's 2023 guys. This hurts.

In this space 👨‍🚀

Christ, y'all. In 2023??? I'm embarrassed to recommend SoM to people because of stuff like this.

if youre reading this and think nfts are a scam, good job, you're on the right path to become obsolete

You sound like someone who hates their job and just wants to exploit your massive following lmao. None of this is applicable to smaller artists and even discourages many as their work gets stolen anyways to be sold by some rando. It's a scam.

Reading from the comments, seems like a lot of people hates NFTs without even knowing what it really is about.
Been doing NFTs for months now and i look forward to videos like this. It’s nice to see how gullible people can be 😄
NFTs is a good way to generational wealth.(it depends on how much you are willing to grind it out ofc) You can be an artist, a promoter/influencer, a discord moderator and earn without even trading a single jpeg(which you guys hate for no reason) But ofc, nobody would let you know this. Just stay this way, smart people would know what to do after this video.😅👍

I am excited about learning crypto

So y'all are also releasing a counter point, right?
