Do not bring NFTs or crypto to Discord.
As an artist studying new modes of communication in the digital age and network models that define our online interactions at the University level, I find cryptocurrency and the market of Non-Fungible Tokens to be problematic, dodgy, and environmentally detrimental for a completely worthless merit in the form of the tokens themselves. NFTs are a dangerous, unsustainable market, one the general population and Discord userbase do not particularly like. People will pull their money out of discord - myself included - if it continues to go ahead with this project. The world of crypto and buying, selling, and flipping NFTs is unwelcoming to artists and the lower class. Minting takes up massive amounts of energy which are hard to quantify but are clearly absurd for what they create. Ethereum (ETH) is not sustainable, and regardless of whether or not it will move to Proof-of-Stake and to other less consuming manners of using NFT technology, Discord, as is the case with many other corporations, has a responsibility to commit to NOT using these absurd young technologies that threaten the planet, individuals’ integrities, and their business.
