> I think a lot of it is to just support artists.

To me that assertion, albeit convenient to paint a rosy picture, doesn't make any sense. No one needs a convoluted technical scheme to support artists as donating cash is easy and effortless. Buying the rights to a work from an artist also does not require a convoluted technical scheme, and considering that NFTs haven't been used to enforce any right then that hypothesis is also highly dubious.

What NFTs offer is the ability to perform transactions, and ones which don't have any artist or provenance in consideration.

Universe rewards creativity

> Universe rewards creativity

What? That means nothing at all.

I read it as the spiritual idea that the universe is active in things like karma / prosperity gospel.

I don't agree with it and I suspect this type of thinking captures lots of fools, but I would grant that it does "mean something".

There is little spiritual or foolish in this. When you solve a problem in a creative way, be it a cool application of an algorithm, a feature, a product, a clever bug fix, a clever marketing campaign, new way to raise money, etc, you get rewarded.
