I’ve been following cryptoart for a hot second and I’m mind blown at the incredible amount of emissions this market creates 🤯

Until CrytpoArt platforms become more transparent & environmentally sustainable in their business practices, do not participate in EFT art market. Current emissions produced by EFTs are environmentally irresponsible at a critical moment in the climate crisis. Thread:

As who does tech as their day job, I think the whole cryptocurrency stuff is pretty gross and unethical, and it's sad to see the artists I love starting to get caught up in it. 😢

Most of what I've seen is a bunch of speculation at the expense of the environment. Even the proof-of-stake stuff that seems to be the 'answer' to the ecological issues seems destined to set up a new form of oligarchy.

I liked this take - would be amusing if it weren't so sad:

If you don't get NFTs, look at it like this: They're a receipt. You paid for a copy of a work of art and the NFT is a receipt. If you're feeling OK about NFTs, look at it like this: Imagine we accidentally designed a kind of receipt paper where every receipt burns a whole forest
