Moonbirds (Unofficial) Podcast#12 - The race to the bottom (royalties), MARFA, the FTX debacleOn Royalties
If you haven’t read NFTStatistics (@punk9059) thread on the state of NFT marketplaces and royalties you should as royalties dominated the conversation on this week’s Parliament.
My take: this is a complicated topic and one that no single solution will fix. Artists were convinced to flock to NFTs because of the promise of long-term secondary sale royalties. Having those royalties disappear would reduce the incentives for artists specially those without big brand names. Marketplaces trying to make a business from enabling zero artist royalties feel wron...
