NFT Alternatives Photo Story

 NFTs are infamous for their environmental damage. This is because the type of server they are saved on, the blockchain, is very resource heavy and requires a ton of energy to upload something to it. 

So if you like the idea of NFTs but do not want to support them, what can you do? Here’s some alternatives:

Like the animal side of NFTs? Go to your local Zoo, see real animals and help donate to animal conservation at the same time to counteract the damage of NFTs.







Prefer the idea that NFTs are collectible? Why not try collecting trading cards, such as Pokémon Cards? These small rectangles of paper are considerably cheaper than NFTs, and some are so rare they’ve sold for hundreds of thousands!




One of the appealing factors about NFTs is it provides away to support artists. I had discussed this in my interview with Tullio but unfortunately had to cut it for time, but NFTs aren’t the only way to support artists, in fact, it isn’t even the best way. Funding websites like Patreon are a great way of regularly supporting artists, as is directly commissioning them, plus, you’ll get a cool art piece that won’t hurt the environment.
