Why Tez?

1/17 🧵

I've been tez-ing for the past one month or so & after collecting more than 250 artworks, I'm convinced that everyone should tez.

Read along as I share some art & my #tezosart experience.

"False Prophets I"
1/1 by @LaurenceFuller X @PasanenJenni

Why Tez? Because it is liberating.

I felt that the usual stress associated with selling art on tez was muted v/s eth. Artists are fearless about experimenting and the community encourages it.

If you want to express through art, you should tez.

Why Tez? Because it is energy efficient.

One day very soon we'll have to confront the reality of the environmental impact of NFTs. I think we all have a responsibility and as we mature as a community, we must explore every avenue that offers a cleaner route to art.
Why Tez? Because the art is 🔥

Some of the best artists in the world are exclusively minting on tez. Well established & exciting emerging artists alike, tez welcomes & celebrates all.

"My Hand , With My heart" 1/25 by @XCollabz x @PasanenJenni x @tania_rivilis x @lifeofcyn

Why Tez? Because whether you're an artist or collector, everyone should diversify.

Eggs...baskets...you get it.

"Around Us" 1/10 by @alurwaktu_files
Why Tez? Because it is tremendous value.

One of these images sold for 20 eth and the other is on tezos secondary at 95 tez (as 1/27); 20eth v/s 4 eth aggregate. Next edition for sale is at 300 tez.

Plenty of value based collecting opp.

Congurbano Machines by @AleBurdisio
Why Tez? Because it's a great opportunity to meet new ppl & create new bonds.

Tez community is one of the most chill communities I've been a part of. Everybody is having fun, talking art & cheering each other on. And so far everyone's winning.

"Subway" 1/20 by @al_oner_one
Why Tez? Because artists are pushing boundaries.

AI art on Tez is 🔥. These AI artworks are evolutionary steps transforming art from the way we've known it into something completely different. Gets me immensely excited.

"Chaos is a ladder" 1/30 by disartogan.tez
Why Tez? Because it is still very early.

There's tremendous opportunity for artists to establish now and set up for success in future.

Photographers have an even bigger opportunity as it is a whitespace ready for domination.

"Somy" 1/25 by @hamidr_sh
Why Tez? Because it is an incremental opportunity, not an alternate opportunity.

Imo tez & eth collectors are somewhat distinct right now so the demand/supply dynamic is insulated in one from the other (esp if you differentiate your art on chains)

"Memories" 1/12 by @n0maden
Why Tez? Because $0.20 gas! Can you imagine that??

I hate that I've spent so much energy & eth on gas. An edition of 0.03E until recently costed b/w 0.05E - 0.06E. I love the fact that I spend on art on tez and not transaction costs.

"Girl in Poncho" 1/50 by @OriginalGoldCat
Why Tez? Because why not?

But before jumping in, take a moment to reflect on how you want to go about it. Spend some time exploring other artists, look in some wallets & contextualize all of that to your situation and chart a course.

"Wonders of Life" 1/15 by @francien_krieg
Why Tez? Because it levels the playing field.

Artists in most parts of the world cannot afford eth which means they don't have the same opportunity of turning art into a sustainable career for themselves.

Also, Tez won't ban.

"In Praise of Light" 1/20 by @zahranikazar
Thank you @misanharriman for inspiring my Tez journey & for sharing your & @TezosFoundation wallets with me, it made a world of a difference. You're an inspiration & we're lucky to have you as a champion.

"Dressmaker II" 1/11 by @LaurenceFuller x @vwestphoto_nb x @lifeofcyn

In the spirit of sharing, below is my wallet if you need a wormhole to go down in.

The best way is to go exploring is to find an art you like, check that artist's profile & explore what they've collected.

"The Hunt" 1/50 by @JagnjicTomislav
There are so many more artists whose work I'd have liked to share but I hope you all got an idea of what tez has to offer and a good idea of Why Tez! ✌️

"I Saw A Dying Child In Your Arms" by @Saeedshmhmdi
If you have any questions or hesitation, feel free to engage the community. Seek out all answers before you make a decision about whether to tez or how to tez.

You might be surprised with the welcome you get.

"Self Talk" & "Mindgame" 1/20s by @daniela___l
Oh and one last thing, put your best foot forward on tez. If you treat it as a marketplace for your eth rejects, you would be doing yourself a huge disservice.

Treat tez with respect and it'll reciprocate.

❤️
