I’m an artist. I’m interested in developing some art and techniques in the digital world, but I’m unable to protect my virtual artwork.
I want to deliver an ORIGINAL safe-from-copy digital artwork — perhaps even an entire city or country in virtual form, or a sculpture made in the Godd™ Engine, or a personal prayer just for you only, or a secret mantra or a unique photo of a Not-For-Sale original painting.
I don’t want you or anybody else to have to buy crap bitcoins in order to obtain an original uncopiable work of art, so I had to find a non-web-based crypto solution, and I did find it, with the help of my Godd ™ Particle Development Team — the guys who live and work in China, where they make our flash drives.
We’ve worked with the same company for many years now, and they are very reliable and honest, and always deliver a great product.
Think of my newly-invented “CRYPTO USB NFT GorbyTokens” as a sort of frame around your picture. The opening wholesale price of my Level 1 GorbyTokens is a mere $39.95. It would cost you a whole hell of a lot more if you chose to use blockchain technology to hold your NFTs, believe it.
I have, by the way, CRYPTO USB Hardware Tokens that contain a variety of incredible photographics of sculptural ritual jewelry, thangkas, altar items, all which can be used for healing practices and restoration of spiritual energies, but the original physical items are religious artifacts, and therefore cannot be sold — but you can WEAR the flash-drive or carry it or keep it in a safe-deposit box. They all come with safe-deposit boxes for safe and easy storage.
You don’t risk these things on the internet. They never go onto the internet. Each GorbyToken contains one image, video, Godd™ Engine level or group of levels, such as the Godd™ Particle.
So the Hardware GorbyToken NFT is my solution to all the objections I have toward NFT technology. What are my objections, exactly? Fair question; here’s my definitive answer:
As a serious world-class Listed American Artist with a reputation going back to my first “Cedar Bar” exhibit back in 1956, I just can’t support blockchain, period.
It’s literally burning down a forest in order to protect someone’s personal wealth. That’s at least as disgusting as the climate-denying-assholes who are screaming that their personal freedoms are under attack. Get real. Wear a mask, and get back to work.
Okay, there are other objections, namely online security issues that just won’t ever go away, plus control of banking and corporate pressure on sub-economies, controlling interests getting hold of a primary code, things like that, and then there are the zillions of hacker bastards, not to mention the money skimmers who take a lot off the top on every internet blockchain transaction. I have a solution for hackers, but nuclear weapons are not available to me at this time.
In any case, your CRYPTO USB GorbyTokens are safe from online hackers and money-changers like Wyre and other money-changers, who all want to have their hand in your pocket — your guarantee of authenticity is what it has always been — the handwritten LIVE signature autograph of the artist, along with the date and number, in his or her own handwriting.
Want more security? Have the CRYPTO USB NFT WALLET CARD sealed inside a grading slab. They use those things to slab up million-dollar coins!
You don’t need to buy “Ethereum” coinage just to get my digitally stored UNIQUE virtual works of art. You can choose to pay with paypal or credit card in US Dollars, none of this crypto-currency crap!
The whole Blockchain NFT market is currently being controlled by the publicity gained from the $69 million dollar sale of Bleeple’s crappy artwork, and it’s all about money-speculation, but the only rub is, once you own any brand of cryptocurrency, it’s harder to get rid of than a timeshare apartment.
My CRYPTO USB NFT GorbyTokens are protected by the most powerful and reliable security force on the planet — YOU.
It’s entirely up to you to keep them safe, keep them secret. Keep them in a safety deposit box, not on the cloud, and the signature and number are your protection against fakes.
Remember — there are NO online security issues, ZERO “gas fees” and “currency conversion” fees, and no risk of online hackers getting into your NFT files.
Each of my CRYPTO USB GorbyTokens is unique, and cannot be copied if you have it slabbed — I get it slabbed for you if the price is over $500, or you can get it done yourself by PSA for about $20, and NGC will also slab them, but they’re more expensive and take longer.
Now, isn’t this a whole lot better than watching helplessly, as someone messing with a smoking computer to mine electrons out of the ether does his or her best to manipulate YOUR money, raising the costs of paying MORE transfer fees if you ever manage to dump your holdings onto someone who doesn’t mind getting stuck with cybercurrency that could go worthless in the blink of an eye?
I hope you’ll encourage me to keep going with this canopy-friendly art project by buying a few of my digital works of art stored that come to you SIGNED and NUMBERED in my CRYPTO USB GorbyToken Wallet Cards.
You don’t need to buy Ethereum and go to the OpenSea marketplace, or any of the other Etherum-driven marketplaces on the internet. You can sell them anywhere, and for ordinary U.S. dollars!!!
You can post them on facebook or any other social media outlet, plus a variety of sales sites such as etsy, eBay and Amazon, and you CAN’T do that with ordinary blockchain NFTs!
I have created thousands of landscapes, portraits, figures, still-lifes and abstracts, and you are welcome to plunder the hoard, and I hope you strike it artistically rich as a result!
The CRYPTO USB WALLET CARD is not new — I didn’t invent it, but it works as an art object, and if it’s a signed limited edition, it will sell, once people get the idea that the thing itself is the work of art.
Keep in mind that a really determined person can break any lock, open any safe and plunder any crypto money-market — just wait until that happens and you’ll thank your lucky stars you’re not invested in cryptocurrency.
You can use the slabbing techniques used by millionaire collectors to protect their coins and other trading items, and there are hundreds of ways to sell them on the open market!
Don’t tie your ORIGINAL DIGITAL ARTWORK to wildly fluctuating digital currency. Trade in U.S. Dollars, and you’ll be a lot happier. Don’t speculate in the money market — there’s plenty of room at the bottom of the pyramid.
Want some examples of my USB GorbyTokens? Okay, fair enough. Here are a few samples out of the more than 100,000 artworks I can offer from my own studio, and many more from ancient and antique art sources.
The GORBYToken can be made into a non-fungible CRYPTO USB Wallet-Card, encased in a sealed third-party grading slab that includes identification and specifics.
There is only one of this sculpture and the price for this work of crypto art. The price of this CRYPTO USB GorbyToken comes to $200.00 plus shipping.
Also keep in mind that a conventional virtual ETHEREUM-based NFT would have cost you the staggeringly high trading fees, gas fees and conversion fees — five fees in total, on every single NFT transaction, and that doesn’t include what your bank will charge you to convert all this e-crap into actual spendable cash-money.
The whole Ethereum thing is a TOTAL SCAM, built upon the lie that one of their NFTs sold for $69 Million dollars. That isn’t strictly true. They manipulated the whole thing and bought it back themselves.
Don’t believe it for a minute that this digital crap sold “totally out of the blue” for $69 million dollars, from a relatively obscure social media artist, and it all happens within an unknown and thoroughly manipulated currency exchange.
Oh, the trade happened, all right. It just didn’t happen the way they say it did, that’s all.
I couldn’t set up that midway exactly the same way again, not ever, so there’s a real good chance that this screenshot will never be repeated, but I will make variations, so if you miss this one, keep looking.
Although my actual dollar-cost to produce each of these USB Tokens is rather high, since we only produce ten in a run, it’s a whole lot better than the $800.00 I’d have put into the trading fees of an ordinary Ethereum-based blockchain NFT!
By the way, the artwork value doesn’t automatically increase in value as the currency goes up. It can in fact go down, depending on the popularity of the artist. I’m betting that YOU can make your own artwork more valuable!
See You At The Top!!!
