Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sparkle_cz" data-source="post: 9381218" data-attributes="member: 7044879">When I heard about the existence of NFTs for the first time years ago, I thought it was a brilliant idea that can solve a big issue that me and my friends had.We are creators who do niche / smallprofit / nonprofit stuff in a small market (Czechia) and we struggle heavily with finances and ways to make people give us at least some money, as Czech people are not used to paying for culture very much. Even Kickstarter / Patreon is problematic for us since the money gain does not compensate the cost of bureucracy and marketing for the campaign.Many of us tried to reward our contributors with physical gifts (signed posters etc.), but also had to give up on this because the costs of shipping / packaging etc. wasn't worth it.Unique, personal, virtual "badges of honor" seemed to be what could solve our problem. People who would donate us money, our best fans, would receive a virtual token from us, that could be personalized for them, with our "thank you" message for them etc., and the secure Blockchain technology would make sure that the recipient will not lose the token when their computer burns down or they lose their email password. Also, the badges could be later connected with some database and the recipients can then get updates about our work etc.It is sad that we couldn't go on with these ideas because NFTs have been inbetween used by shady people for shady purposes and lost all credibility. It makes me sad because this could have been a great tool for super-niche creators for whom every saved penny counts.</blockquote>
