RE: Kids art as NFTs, a way to inspire or to increase inequality?

most importantly, how to wash my brushes so I don't have to buy new ones.

😆

Love the fact that you want to spread the knowledge of new technologies and opportunities to others, and I think that’s the best you can do. You certainly shouldn’t feel guilty. You recognize a systemic problem and feel compelled to help address it, that’s totally admirable!

And it seems the parent/child dynamics you bring up are simply continuations of the same relationships seen in athletics, academics & art in the offline world.

Blockchain technologies are certainly removing the internet gatekeepers and middlemen, but once that’s done the communities formed are still a microcosm of the “real” world.

True, but isn't the benefit of a new digital "world" that we get to shape it into something different? Or is that wayyyyy too optimistic?

Also. The brushes. Probably more expensive than the gas fees other parents are burning minting NFTs for their kids. You gotta protect those!! 🤣

I love the optimistic dream! I'm just musing about how big a problem accessibility is to tackle... algorithms and minting fees are something we can work on from our digital end, but the success of those efforts is capped by just how widespread access to computers and internet is in the "real" world. I think the best hope is that runaway success in this new space will allow for the early adopters to reinvest in the real world and bridge those gaps.

Don't mind my meandering pessimism! 😬

Home is NYC for me. Ignoring meandering pessimism is a full time job there, so not a problem ;)
