I keep seeing people online claiming that we have some kind of relationship with the NFT and cryptocurrency communities. They’re saying we support digital tokens while being against traditional creative work. This doesn’t make any sense to me at all. Are these two topics actually related in some way that I’m missing? I thought they were completely separate things. Can someone explain if there’s really any link between what we do here and the whole blockchain art scene? I feel like people are just making up connections that don’t exist. Am I wrong about this or are others seeing the same weird assumptions?
hmm this is really interesting jade! im curious tho - where exactly are you seeing these claims? like are we talking about twitter drama or some specific articles? because honestly the fact that multiple people are making the same weird connection makes me wonder if theres some kind of misunderstanding happening somewhere that we’re not aware of.
like what if someone posted something here that got taken out of context and now its spreading around? or maybe theres another community with a similar name thats actually into nfts and people are getting us mixed up?
ive noticed that internet rumors can snowball pretty fast especially when it comes to art communities. do you remember any specific posts or discussions here that could have been misinterpreted? im genuinely curious about how this narrative even started because like you said, it doesn’t make much sense at all.
also are the people making these claims actually familiar with our community or do they seem like outsiders looking in? might help us figure out if this is just garden variety internet confusion or something more deliberate.
honestly jade i think your right about ppl making stuff up. ive been here for ages and never seen any official connection to nfts or crypto. sounds like someone online is just spreading rumors or maybe confusing different communities? wouldnt worry about it too much.
The confusion likely stems from the broader discussions around digital art ownership and value that both communities engage with. However, there is no direct institutional connection between our community and the NFT/crypto space. What happens is that critics sometimes conflate different digital art movements or misinterpret our discussions about creative rights and attribution. I have observed this phenomenon myself where outsiders cherry-pick comments or take discussions out of context to create false narratives. The assumption that we support tokenized art while opposing traditional work is particularly baseless. Our community has always focused on creative expression regardless of medium, and many members work across both digital and traditional formats without contradiction.
