Plus all the potential speculation on its value happens without you. How does that benefit the artist compared to regular commissions or subscription services? I'm genuinely asking, since you've gone through this I was curious about your experience.

Gotta divide into “my” and “artist friend” and just only from “my point of view” At the time I likely see it as another platform to sale and another payment gateway. It has likely no benefit except Just another place another client base. And another way to get paid.

For myself I stop at - “Gas” fee got jump up - it effect my schedule with the normal commission - too much hassle to get paid out - more info about how bad it is When realize and calculate back and forth. I just drop it and back to normal life. just like another platform I try and not worth a time

As for my artist friend. NFT benefit something to Thai fineart community. They get to see the world and the world get to see them. Some of collector are not only do NfT but they also do fine arts My colleagues try his hardest to sale his oil paint for decades got a breakthrough during NFT era

Like this one www.facebook.com/share/17uzhq... Now he can solely living off his art career from client during his NFT. Many artist friends of mine survive and continue doing what they love because of this era. Some even sign brand deals - I can say it s the best time to do art for Thai artist

From my point of view. Even it s bad (I agree ) It still has a good thing out of this pool. At least my favorite artist didn’t have to teach kids art on the cruise 6month per year and his mother can live a good life.
