Banksy's identity remains hidden while his work sells for millions. In a world moving toward blockchain identity and AI-generated art, does anonymity become more valuable or impossible?

[JustMartin]

Banksy works because scarcity and mystery amplify value, AI art kills both

[StoneCold]

Anonymity online is already dead unless you're extremely disciplined

Future artists might be anonymous but cryptographically verified instead

[QuantumKnight]

Agree, and the implications are bigger than most people realise. Interesting to see where it goes.

[RedKnight]

Exactly what I was thinking. Interested to see where this goes.

Not sure about that bit tbh. Worth a try if you get the chance.

[Falcon]

Interesting, I had the opposite experience. Good stuff.

Cannot really argue with that. Give it a go and report back.
