Fuck NFTs and at this point no one can change my mind

There have been tons of emails to me about when I would release my NFTs. The answer is: probably never. Sorry, I have received dozens of emails asking me to collaborate on collections, to mint Plaguemon sprites or even Plaguemon Kado sprites, not yet released. The good news is that for those who have the Plaguemon cartridge, for example, it is who already owns those sprites! In physical shape! Byte-wise! But if you want the original digital file it's FREE on github, as the hacker ethic in a certain sense dictates, at least for those who have taken this digital art thing seriously for a while.The web is born free, and as long as it will be, too We will be. Many have asked for my opinion on NFTs, I have studied them, and I think they are rubbish. Feeling the need to have something that is naturally accessible to everyone is a foolish reasoning to start with. Without taking anything away from my colleagues artists who have decided to take this path, my respect remains unchanged, but I, just can't.If you have followed my path enough you will know that it is often based on rebelling against a planned obsolescence that goes faster than it actually is sustainable, and although I am passionate about new technologies, I consider it senseless to build new ones when the potential of the existing ones has not yet been really exhausted. Especially when the meaning of the initial intention deteriorates. But I never imagined seeing the authenticity of a pixel art, sold for millions of dollars. So a physical cartridge with hundreds of original sprites inside, recorded with a bit precision (a .bin file to be clear, not a lossy .jpg, which for this alone makes no more sense), how much should it cost? , or that illustration, were they really only stored in that one chip? Well, other times I had experimented with the implantation of illustrations in Nes or GameBoy cartridges, but I never thought they could have a price. And again, those illustrations, although searchable online, are exactly the binary sequence of the original creation, not its compression. So I decided I wanted to do this experiment and auction this transistor circuit until 11pm. . . . . . . #antinft #nftsucks (presso Hong Kong Disneyland - 反斗奇兵大本營預演) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNc64Uxn2lo/?igshid=1xen80f35zhcf
