Introduction
A few years ago, things were pretty simple. I could buy a painting, and the only thing I had to worry about was moving it from my house to my office when we moved. But now, with technology making art more accessible than ever before, there are new ways for artists to get paid. One of these is called non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or crypto collectibles — digital pieces of art that can be bought and sold at will. While NFTs have been around since 2010 thanks to CryptoKitties , they’re just starting to catch on among other creative types (like musicians). In this post, we’ll explore why NFTs are so interesting and see how they might change the way artists make money forever!
What is an NFT?
NFTs are digital assets that can be traded on the blockchain. They can be used in games, or they can represent anything else you want to own digitally. A lot of people think of NFTs as art, but they’re not limited to just that. For example, someone could create an NFT that represents their home address or even their car!
CryptoKitties and the rise of NFTs
One of the first NFTs was CryptoKitties, a game where you can collect, breed, and sell digital cats. It was also the first NFT to be worth over $100 million.
So, why would you spend all that money on a digital piece of art?
NFTs are a great way for artists to make money
You’re probably wondering why an artist would choose to sell their work as NFTs over traditional artwork. Well, the answer is simple: it pays better! Not only do you get paid immediately (rather than having to wait for a gallery owner or buyer), but by not using intermediaries like galleries and auction houses, you can keep more of your hard-earned money.
NFTs are a new way for artists to make money.
NFTs are a new way for artists to get their art out to the world and make money from it. The blockchain is a system that allows you to store data in an immutable way, so if someone tries to change it, they can’t! This makes it ideal for storing digital assets like art on.
Conclusion
And that’s it! You now know what an NFT is, and how they’re changing the world of art forever. The best part about all this? You can start buying, selling and collecting your very own digital pieces of art right now!
