Oh, i remember "Anhedonia" and "Mars Theme AKA Mars 88" titles were teased in 2018 and sounds so good. I hope a deluxe version of Miss Anthropocene

I'm not going to pretend I fully comprehend this. But apparently this has a devastating ecological impact...

[Teletubby 117,445]

I did the math so she earned almost 6M [$5,940,597.12 ]  [but maybe I don't understand how this site for rich people works ]
and there is still one auction that will end tomorrow

Do they get the whole song ?? 

No, you buy exactly this what is on site.
It is a virtual market for crypto art.
It is added to your digital collection after you pay for it.
You can put it on sale or trade on this site and earn more money.

So people are buying it as an investment? I am confusion

[ThisGuyTony 23,649]

Why are people buying it? You can just screen-record or screenshot the images/music?  

Am I missing something?

Last week someone on Nifty Gateway resold one video for 6.6M and people in comment suggest money laundering.

thanks for your answer.... This is super weird. Do some rich people actually really need money to go to Mars because they know Earth is condemned and they don't want us to know or else there would be a revolution ? 

Why are people doing weird stuff instead of actually helping the world ???? 

[tylerjs 4,093]

I don’t mean to be a downer, but god I’m already over this crypto art sh*t. Like I get it, there are ways to verify that it’s original or whatever. But like come on, THOUSANDS or even in that other case, MILLIONS for digital art? It doesn’t make sense in any way. Like love that for your artistry, but this is just really...not it.

[LaLuna 12,732]

Clearly I'm in the wrong business 

[Awakened M 2,686]

I'm sorry.

As much as I love Grimes, she's niche to me.

Her baby daddy people got that maybe for her.

She may be queen of the underground, but still...

I'm not mad. I'm just curious about how she racked this all up so quickly.

I'm sure this is some kind of 'closed' business and they don't let people from 'outside' join and drop their work

[Teletubby 117,445]

The last auction just ended and video 'Death of the Old' was sold for  $388,938.00 
https://niftygateway.com/itemdetail/primary/0x948b3515d81034a3c16d5393c6c155946c93c103/1


so she earned from all this collection $6,329,535.12

[Agunimon 20,206]

Same energy as the simps who send celebrities birthday presents that are bought and not hand created.
