The artist Mike Winkelmann, better known as Beeple, is one of the most valuable living artists. But now that demand for non-fungible tokens has cooled and the crypto winter has set in, what does he see as the future of NFTs? Beeple spoke with WSJ art-market reporter Kelly Crow at this year’s WSJ Tech Live event. Zoe Thomas hosts.

Time will tell who is who, just wait a little bit. After selling his mediocre work as "nft" for $69 million Beeple became allegedly one of the richest artists in the world. If someone decides to wash their money by investing in a piece of art, that art doesn't become any better. This is just a paid marketing, an artificially grown value. Not everything in our world can be measured by money. If his art really has such a huge value, why no one was talking about it before the nft movement. Why nobody paid real money for it ? His art isn't anything special at all. Most of credible art critics could approve this. Beeple even compared himself to a Banksy and even Andy Warhol. That was a really bold move to do. Actually, not so long ago there was one guy who allegedly became a big name over one night. He made a several hundred prints with some help of other paid artists. Actually he didn't do any of these artworks my himself. It was all done only by hired men. And after several years no one talks about him anymore. It was Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash. Actually this man was a kind of a friend of well known graffiti artists like Banksy and Shepard Fairey who helped a lot to attract some audience.
There is no such thing as digital art. Art is art it doesn't matter what form you will choose. Good art is good art and bad art is not an art. This nft scam made some false belief about art. It's very wrong to think that only 3d rendered art could be converted into a NFT… I bet many non artistic people thought that it was the case. Beeple is only marketing, I don't see any real value in his work. Really what happened to a phrase "quality over quantity". If someone manages to make a picture daily, it doesn't automatically make these pictures any better…
guy cashed out well, still is

Romans 14 ;-7,8
For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.
This is how we live as long as we live in this earth .
Death also tells God .
We have Eternal life.
We are light
We are salt .
We must pity or no pity to a Gentile
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍👍
What a "down to Earth" specimen. Civilization is dying.
"Digital art is just an extended enrichment of the originals in the real tangible world of life"
I really dont get. Most AAA video art is better than what this guy puts out and the games are interavtive.
This guy's voice 😱
I’m evidence that when something knocks you down, you react and not be sober.
Bank-man fried wiped out over 60% of my net-worth.
I didn’t expect to be a victim of this, because I don’t hold anything else asides tethered dollar.

What the permanent high of selling your used toothbrush for $85mil looks like.

It’s wonderful❕
NFT is only good in the long run if there is value to it, which a lot of them will never have 😅
NFT is for fools
People saw the technology or a group of people laundered a whole lot of money through this sale. Probably the latter.
there is future of art when everything is taken by artificial intelligence
LOL……….. I doubt anyone would buy it know
Love him or hate him, he is the sunbringer of a new dawn!!!

His voice grates my ears I can’t listen to it longer than 5 minutes. His attitude is annoying as well.
This is precisely what an insufferable millionaire looks and sounds like.
I agree NFTs will exist but only for the purpose they were created for, but they are useless for just any old virtual cosmetic/thumbnail. To be successful, it needs to have a name attached to it, just like any piece of art.
