Hoy me desperté viral en Tik Tok y les confieso que me asusté un poco. La próxima semana les hago un post detallado, porque cumplo un mes creando contenido a diario y mostraré todas las estadísticas. Ahora hablemos de este video.
Esta entrevista es el mejor ejemplo de contenido donde cabe el dicho: Llegué buscando cobre y conseguí diamantes, o como se diga, es el sentido jajaja.
Entré a verla por el título y porque también he visto varios videos del artista. Es uno de los pocos que hablan bien de la tecnología NFT. Nunca esperé encontrar un profundo mensaje minimalista.
Uno puede pensar a la pregunta si rechazar $3 millones. Lo primero que viene a la mente, es que no sea haciendo algo ilegal. Después que no sea peligroso para uno y por último que no sea algo que no me guste hacer. En este caso ninguna de las tres se cumplen. Le ofrecieron tres millones por hacer algo legal, seguro y que ama hacer; de hecho es lo que hace todos los días de su vida; sin embargo lo rechazó.
Aceptarlo habría significado perder libertad. Pasaría de pintar cuando quiera, a pintar para alguien en un "horario". Pasaría a ser exclusivo para un cliente, sin poder atender a los que quiera, sin permiso. Para él, esa pérdida de libertad, no merece los tres millones, aunque era por tres años.
Es probable que un artista que esté comenzando, no los rechazaría y si está en una mala situación sobretodo. Cuando tienes tus necesidades cubiertas y las de tu familia, el dinero disminuye su importancia, ya solo servirá para lujos y caprichos.
Este artista nos deja claro cuales son las prioridades y que podemos vivir felices con menos de lo que nos dice la sociedad.
¿Hubieses aceptado?

Today I woke up viral on TikTok, and I confess that I was a little scared. Next week I'll write a detailed post, because I've been creating content daily for a month now, and I'll show you all the statistics. Now let's talk about this video.
This interview is the best example of content where the saying applies: I came looking for copper and found diamonds, or however you say it, that's the meaning, ha ha ha.
I clicked on it because of the title and because I've seen several videos by the artist. He's one of the few who speaks highly of NFT technology. I never expected to find such a profound minimalist message.
One might think about the question of whether to reject $3 million. The first thing that comes to mind is that it should not be something illegal. Then, it should not be dangerous for oneself, and finally, it should not be something one does not like to do. In this case, none of the three apply. He was offered three million to do something legal, safe, and that he loves to do; in fact, it is what he does every day of his life; however, he rejected it.
Accepting it would have meant losing his freedom. He would go from painting whenever he wanted to painting for someone else on a “schedule.” He would become exclusive to one client, unable to serve others without permission. For him, that loss of freedom is not worth the $3 million, even if it was for three years.
It is likely that an artist who is just starting out would not turn it down, especially if they are in a bad situation. When your needs and those of your family are covered, money becomes less important, serving only for luxuries and whims.
This artist makes it clear to us what the priorities are and that we can live happily with less than what society tells us.
