Eva Beylin: NFTs Are Empowering to Artists
My background is in economics, which was my first love, and with Ethereum [that] was sort of realizing how we can use it for payments and rethinking our financial systems. Art was more like a side hobby and a surprising consequence of my interest in crypto. I didn’t expect that when I would join Ethereum that I would be able to become a side hobby artist because I’ve now been able to sell my art, which would have never happened before. You know, if I was just casually doing that, because I’m not a big artist. I don’t do this full time. To me, it’s incredibly empowering.
