Many members don't even look at this project development section.

Try posting in the Goods area, where you will reach people wanting to buy with bitcoin.

As a result of the prevalence of scams, many legit NFTs fail too. The entire space has become a bread and butter for scammers and hypercapitalists — hyped projects with zero utility. Today, in the media, we see more “rug pulls” than real projects, which has severely damaged the reputation of the entire NFT industry.

People were buying useless pictures (NFTs) for millions of dollars, even though their artistic value is zero.

Sorry, but let me say this again: I value my work. I spend months embroidering my pieces, and I also have bills to pay, like rent and utilities. I value my art because it gives me a sense of freedom, and through it, I promote Bitcoin!

For example, I embroidered this painting https://5ksana.art/shop/painting-embroidery-world-of-bitcoin/ for 2 months, 4-5 hours every day.

If you are stuck on such a high price point, why not make them NFTs?  Make each design a little different, and sew the certificate inside.

Thank you for your opinion, but I appreciate what I do and I’m not trying to compete with mass production. I love what I do! My dream won't be affected by other people's opinions.

1.  That makes no sense.  Price is important to me and you charge 10x more for no benefit. 

2.  Sorry, are you claiming you can do a better job sewing than a machine?   A machine can produce fifty bags in the time you do one, and not make a single mistake or flaw.    You would have been wise to base your value on the art, because sewing new products has no value any more.   Your skill is financially limited to repair.   

I don't want to piss on your dream, so I suggest you look at your budget a bit more realistically. 

1) If price and the Canadian dollar are important to you, you can buy from this shop. I make handmade goods and sell them for Bitcoin.

2) And what am I doing?

That $10 is a Canadian price, not a sweatshop in China.
Also, you are selling the art, not your sewing

Yes, the goal of raising $50,000 is to create and develop a handmade brand under my direct guidance. I’m not aiming for mass production or factory-made items; instead, I focus on making unique products from high-quality materials with custom designs.

A talented seamstress makes $15-$20 an hour in the US, and my prices reflect that. A similar employee at a factory in China would make pennies.
I can’t compete with sweatshop prices, and I don’t want to.

People expecting big-box prices for handmade goods. And the sad truth is, most of the time those handmade goods are underpriced just to compete with this mindset. These customers don’t see the hours of design, standing in the fabric store deciding between fabrics, emails back and forth if someone wants a custom piece, and the hours of learning and refining the craft. It’s said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert on something. Since that first sewing class through today, I have accrued much more than 10,000 hours of sewing. When you buy handmade, you’re not just buying a dress or a purse. You’re buying the entire handmade experience. The next time you’re considering buying a handmade item, remember there’s a woman sitting behind a sewing machine in her basement, surrounded by mountains of fabric and years of experience, putting a piece of her soul into that item, hoping that you will get as much joy from the finished product as she gets from making it, and maybe she can pay some bills too.

As Coco Chanel said: "Handmade things are a luxury, everyone does not need to have them. Whoever wants to get them, either pays the master for the work, or makes them himself."

Programming and art are forms of creative work that need a personal touch. I'm not a fan of using generic or automated templates, especially when it’s unclear who made them, what code was used, or how secure they are. I believe every project deserves a unique and high-quality approach. Thanks for understanding!

The best way to choose a logo is to discuss it with the Bitcointalk community, like it's done here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/new-iconlogo-64 (there's no soulless AI here). People need people!

I'll tell you one thing: whether I raise money for my project or not, I will keep creating BTCitcoin Art. I love the philosophy of Bitcoin it's all about absolute freedom, just like art, which is meant to express your ideas. Through my art, I express the idea of BTCitcoin, combining the philosophy of financial independence with the power of artistic expression.

So your goal is to raise $50,000 I assume to make it more efficient?   How much lower do you expect your prices to drop after this investment?

https://5ksana.art/shop/handmade-bag-bitcon-pleb/    $120 for a bag
https://www.vistaprint.ca/clothing-bags/bags/totes  $10 for a bag

Nice idea a few decades ago, but today's modern consumer is tired of the "made with love" expense. 

BTW - logos and stores are a couple hundred $ each.
