NFT / Crypto Art - The Art Thief Problem

Mar 14, 2021

Hello friends! There is an important theme I need to talk with you about. Since NFT / Crypto Art is causing a lot of anxiety for creators and gave a whole greater opportunity to art thieves to steal other people´s property (not to mention the environmental damage it causes and other illegal tradings it helps grow), I´m now trying to collect some helpful infos for other creators to protect their files or at least make it harder for thieves. For that I created a Playlist on YouTube: I hope to once make a video to sum all infos up. Hopefully I can find other artists for kind of collab who are more experienced. So yesterday I had to set my Twitter account to private, because strangers who support NFT followed and tagged me into a NFT thread. Even Artstation is considering to support crypto art somewhen later and I came to the conclusion that it will be necessary for me to add metadata and watermarks to my works and lower the resolution once more. This will mean a lot of work to me
