Hi,
In the past 3-4 days I have been exploring NFT. I heard that it was a great way to digitally sign art, so that the ownership and Provenance is clear. I thought this would be a good time to explore since the world of Fast Fashion on the internet has moved from Crypto-Currency>>NFT>>ChatGPT. If I ever buy a stock, it will be AFTER the hype is over. During my exploration I came upon two different ways that one can invest in digital art. One is Masterworks, that offers fractional ownership of valuable paintings, in much the same way that a Mutual Fund allows us to invest in high priced share market instruments. The other ofcourse is NFT.
I am toying with the idea of getting a conservation project off the ground. But I have big ideas and no money, so I have been think of the NFT route. Why not take some good pictures and sell them as NFTs with the promise that this money will be used for conservation. This could mean that I have some money and some freedom to deploy it as seems fit. The pictures themselves are no unique or made my famous photographers, but then again I would hope the quality of the art would better than the BORED APE YACHT CLUB series. But probably not so many images.
So if you heard about an NFT, that clearly created by an individual with the idea of using the funds for conservation, would you buy it? Each purchase would include a hard copy with a QR code to the NFT.
Here is an example from Kerala, India, the state that I live in. Don't judge it by the quality of the image, obviously I will have better quality images for the final project.
