Digital Art and NFTs: Artistic evolution or market bubble?

The rise of digital art and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) is shaking the foundations of the art world. Suddenly, artists can mint unique digital works, collectors can “own” a piece of the internet, and million-dollar sales are making headlines. Proponents hail this as an artistic revolution-democratizing art, empowering creators, and redefining ownership in the digital age. But is this really the future of art, or just another speculative bubble waiting to burst?

Are NFTs unlocking creativity, or just fueling hype and greed?
While NFTs offer new opportunities for artists to monetize their work, the market is flooded with copycats, scams, and get-rich-quick schemes. Prices soar and crash overnight, driven more by speculation than genuine appreciation for the art itself. The result? More attention on the next big sale than on artistic merit or innovation.

Is this evolution, or exploitation?
Environmental concerns over blockchain energy use, questions about copyright, and the ease of duplicating digital files cast long shadows. For every artist who finds success, countless others are left chasing trends in a volatile, unpredictable marketplace.

Are we witnessing the dawn of a new creative era, or inflating a bubble that will leave artists and collectors empty-handed?
NFTs and digital art could transform the art world-or expose its vulnerabilities like never before. The line between evolution and exploitation has never been thinner.
