I think more people will buy into an unknown artist’s NFT collection as a speculative investment than will buy their prints for the same reason. There is an established secondary market for NFTs in a way that there isn’t really for prints by unknown artists. Digital goods are always easier to buy than physical ones. Also NFTs do have an advantage for the artist that they can guarantee themselves a portion of future resale value.

I’m not entirely convinced it’s sustainable either, but I can absolutely see why right now some artists are able to make massively more from NFTs than they could from prints.
