The current debate in the NFT PFP circle is the project, Moonbirds, and the CC0 license. The founder of Proof Collective and Moonbirds, Kevin Rose, recently made an announcement that all Moonbirds and Moonbirds Oddities will now carry the CC0 license. If you are not familiar with the CC0 license, it simply means, that the art attached to the token will now be in Public Domain.
I wrote about CC0 here so feel free to read up on it. Why is this important now and for the future of how people plan out their non fungible token projects? Well, Moonbirds is one of the most talked about NFT PFP projects. It saw investors buying Moonbirds for upward of 30 ETH and it also saw a lot of people wishing they could get one, even if it is just to flip, but mostly to be a part of a “blue chip” community. Keep in mind that the term blue chip is often used loosely in Web3 to describe NFTs with certain values attached to them. NFTs are new and historically, Blue Chips requires years of consistency.
Is the decision to make Moonbirds and Moonbirds Oddities a good or bad thing? Let’s dig in a bit and try to see both sides of the coin via https://tonipaynenft.com/nft-blog/moonbirds-and-moonbirds-oddities-cc0-is-it-a-good-or-badthing/
