NFT Mania | VPRO Documentary

- What is going on in the art world? Some artists are suddenly receiving millions for their digital artworks due to the introduction of so-called NFTs.
NFTs are "non-fungible tokens," a kind of digital property deed that makes virtual images tradable. For a year now, NFTs have been the expensive new toys of often young, anonymous collectors with lots of crypto money. Van Gogh died poor, but for digital artists the opposite now seems within reach.
VPRO Documentary meets a vanguard of digital artists at the largest international art fair in Miami. A wonderful new world reveals itself. Here the money is lapping at the skirting boards, the sun is forever shining and a new generation of art collectors is showing itself for the first time. In this world, NFT artists are the new prophets.
But the combination between crypto currency and media art also raises many questions. Does the NFT craze offer the long-awaited online disruption in favor of creative creators? Or is it a game played with only a few super-rich winners and many losers? Will the air soon run out of the NFT balloon? Or are NFTs the harbinger of changes that go far beyond the arts?

we always here about the seller, but never about the person buying $100k ape NFTs.. its all money laundering
This has been proven with quite a few NFT schemes already... Investors use part of their funding to "buy" the NFTs from the makers they're investing in to create hype.
Most collections follow this pattern - if you look at the sales a few months later, the vast majority selll for about $100 or less, with one/handful selling for big big money - those are the investors' purchases (or if they bought an influencer, their purchase).
I agree with this comment and Tom Nook's comments below. Also, people in a pool selling to each other and driving up prices of the art and driving up prices of ETH and generating revenue for exchanges.
The digital version of pump&dump. Up to the next flash in the pan.
Big scam
honestly i don't get where anyone can value this so called art ?
yes im old , but i never did understand why people pay so much for any art works .never mind nft's
ok i get that theres only one monalisa painting .
[therefor it is priceless ] but a print is just as nice to look at !
Yeah like they don’t already have enough money….
Scammers gonna scam.
what kind of these crazy & hype..
Nothing but fake money.
Can’t see this helping feed the world. Fail💨 work hard
LMFAO!!! I called this garbage would be WORTHLESS from day 1. Hilarious.
I love this! There’s so many bad NFT companies but a few good ones. That’s why I love Flovatar. They reward artists in perpetuity even after no longer owning their NFT.
This is like the emperors new clothes….. money for nothing…
opensea sucks
I'm glad that people are appreciating the value of digital art. Even though art is subjective, most of the crap like Bored Apes and other auto generated stuff hardly qualifies as art in my opinion.
