  • Steve Vai's Hydra NFT didn't really work out. I believe that this is a sign that this trend will only continue with others who offer little to no utility. Will Fender and Gibsons projects fall to a simular fate?

    Steve's project might have failed, but I can tell you from first-hand experience Gibson's NFT's are the real deal.

Social media marketing is such a huge business now that there are teams of people across multiple industries scouring the internet for the latest fad to jump on. There’s very little oversight now , I can imagine 20 years ago someone in Steve’s team would have had to veto this , but social media is still seen as a dark art in marketing terms so they probably agreed as you said : with little to no understanding.

    One Vai project that never came to fruition was the whole "Real Illusions" story; that album is Part 1 and there were supposed to be multiple albums. If you partook in the EVO Experience on that tour, Steve gathered all of the participants in front of a camera and had everyone say a single word. At the show I attended, Columbus OH, the word was, 'We.' The idea was to compile all of the words said by all of the EVO Experience attendees throughout the tour and that would be a verse or something to a song that was to be the finale of the whole Real Illusions story. That never came to be as that was back in '05. Cool idea, shame it never materialized...yet at least.

    The "legitimate uses" have no extra utility beyond a secure encrypted password in the first place though, it's quite literally just designed for market speculation (read: ponzi schemes) and drawing orders of magnitude more electricity.
    The only reason you'd want your password (or other like, "identifying code") to be stored on a blockchain instead of some centralized server is when you don't trust the provider of said server... which presumably you do if you're buying a guitar from them. And on the blockchain you're instead trusting every single little finger in the pie to not straight up steal or delete your stuff as it gets passed along

    I'm a huge Steve Vai fan, but the world of NFTs is one that I refuse to get involved with. I'm kind of surprised and let down that Steve Vai got involved in the NFT game. I mean I can get behind Gibson including NFTs with their guitars and used in legitimate ways that are not a money grab, but it would be even better if Gibson employees could tell the differences between their own guitars and a cheap Chinese knock off, which speaks wonders towards their actual quality control issue.

      Nft can help directly support new and upcoming bands instead of the bullshit industry ran by money and greed
      Sure there was great music but it was to the benefit of business not artists and music
      Support bands and artists you live by giving to them directly
      Nft is how we drop new are to our fans first
      They buy our stuff there and get perks that come w different ones
      Some tokens grant you access to things
      Don’t judge that which you do not fully understand
      We are in Pdx
      Spreading love and sharing music
      Helping bands
      Throwing free shows

Their are folk who are far more knowledgable but Austin knows his stuff. It's just a shame he's become less humble as times gone by.

    It's like auctioning off exclusive downloadable content for one person to have with immutable proof on the chosen chain.

    Vai, Gibson etc. are late on the initial NFT craze, as it's already over.
    It's alright if artists and companies experiment with NFTs a bit, to figure out decent use cases for this new technology. It'll take a few years for NFTs and what to do with them to mature.
    The Stratoverse seems quite cool. Everything has to start somewhere. It appears to simply be a map for some VR platform.

    steve is one person I'd give a buy on something like this until or unless it's a pattern. Knowing what he does and how he operates, it's not even unlikely that he'd be using NFTs to get funding to promote artists that don't get enough exposure.
    Other possibility is people who make comments "you know, you should do an NFT - I'd bid on it". That - not related to NFTs only, but requesting anything, is usually followed by disappearance.
    Just like people who say "you put a group buy together for this, I'm in dude. Count me in on 3 of them"

    I think there's a lot of applications of digital signatures and storing data on a blockchain for the music industry. You can QR code parts and make it easy to verify their authenticities and trace their origin. Using a merkle tree, you can effectively print verifiable genuineness labels on an entire production lot of guitar strings for a fraction of a cent. But yeah, selling a receipt for nothing for thousands of dollars is kinda dumb.
