An incredible opportunity for brands to get an answer to the question of the hour - NFTs 👍 or 👎?

Let me simplify the topic further, the panel today has 2 stances:

🔷 𝐍𝐅𝐓𝐬 – 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐲

NFTs have provided new opportunities for creators, artists & brands to monetize their work directly. Tokenizing their creations as NFTs, enables them to retain ownership, bypass traditional intermediaries like galleries, agents, or streaming platforms, and connect directly with their audience, potentially increasing their revenue and overall control over their work. This is the decentralised economy enabled by Web3.0

Vs.

🔷 𝐀 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝-𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 & 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬

On the other hand, some brands and creators may view NFTs as a non-starter or approach them with caution. Several concerns and criticisms have been raised regarding NFTs, including environmental impact due to the energy consumption of blockchain networks, high transaction fees, potential for copyright infringement, and market volatility.
