The buyer of the Beeple has an NFT company himself. So it's basically a marketing expense that promotes the industry. https://t.co/VlMw9M3oaK

to recap: this story about an “artist making a lot of money on an NFT” is actually a story about a buyer of that art reselling it to an NFT fund. this is a scam full stop https://t.co/AN5kwpEUkZ

the person who bought the Beeple has also sold a tokenized version of other Beeple works. They arguably have the most invested in people thinking Beeples should be valued the same as Van Gogh, etc. https://t.co/cN2wSqB3ro

If you’re trying to understand what’s going on in the digital art space through the lens of rationality you’re guaranteeing yourself frustration.
