Bitcoin on the 13th broke through the previous high of 58 thousand in one fell swoop, stood at 60,000 dollars, encountered a tossing plate, and repeatedly saw. The midfield is like this. Every step forward will encounter more resistance, because the limit of people's imagination has not yet been opened, the mood is still relatively calm, and the explosive power is still brewing. This situation reminds people of what Zhouyi·Tugua said, Panhuan, Li Juzhen, and Li Jianhou. When it's hard to get in, you need to hold the coin and stick to the right path. Believe that the bull market is far from reaching its peak, do not rush out of the market. The unpredictable technology of cryptocurrency also requires an approachable participation method to establish a broader consensus. Bitcoin, altcoin, DeFi, now NFT. It should be said that the gameplay is moving more and more in a direction that ordinary people can understand and participate in.
Some foreign netizens commented on the NBA-themed series NFT:
"A lot of people don't really care about decentralized finance... But your average person might actually like basketball. This allows you to draw in an entire population that might not have previously cared about crypto."
"A lot of people don't care about decentralized finance, but most people do like basketball. So this can attract this group of people who didn't care about encryption technology to enter the world."
After all, for ordinary people outside the currency circle, it is much more intuitive and easier to understand a picture, a record, and an animation than to understand various unpredictable air coin projects. What's more, NFT brokerage platforms like niftygateway can already directly support fiat currency purchases, just as easy as buying things on amazon.
The only thing that stunned the old leeks in the currency circle was the price of NFTs. Why can a cryptopunk (cryptopunk) avatar NFT sell for 4200 ETH (equivalent to 8 million dollars, or about 133 bitcoins).
Nothing else, top IP + strict scarcity. There are only 10,000 "prehistoric" cryptopunks, which existed before the NFT standard ERC-721 was born, and they have an irreplaceable historical status. There are 21 million bitcoins in total. How high is the theoretical ceiling of the price of a cryptopunk NFT?
Bitcoin Core developer Jimmy Song said on Twitter that NFT is a new ICO. He may be ridiculing, but it also reflects the current phenomenon of NFT fever. I think that the NFT, which was born in the bull market in 2017, broke out in this wave, and through the huge wealth creation effect, completed the popularization, people will eventually accept the pure “own” confirmed by the Ethereum blockchain. Digital works, and gradually become accustomed to it. To prove this, I printed out the NFT paintings I bought and hung on the wall.
You see, once you accept this setting, you can understand it naturally: the painting on the wall is mine, not because it is hung on my wall, but because the NFT of this painting is in my ether. In the cryptocurrency wallet on the Fang blockchain. I own this painting because I own NFT, and it doesn't matter whether the painting is presented in digital form on a computer screen or mobile phone screen, or in atomic form on a canvas hanging on the wall. Our confirmation of the ownership of works is no longer determined by the spatial location of atoms in the real world, but by whose blockchain wallet address the NFT is in the blockchain world and the digital world.
In a word, NFT redefines what is meant by "owning".
Compared with traditional artworks, NFT artworks do not have to worry about maintenance and damage. You can reprint it at any time. It can be carried with you through your mobile phone, and you don't need to be transported by air when you move to a foreign country. It can be printed out and hung on the wall of your new home when you reach the destination. When I have an NFT on the blockchain, what I print out is the genuine product. I can set it as my mobile phone desktop, computer desktop, these are genuine products. Because the image part of the NFT art form can be copied arbitrarily without sacrificing its "authenticity". But once I no longer own the NFT, all the paintings I printed, on my mobile phone, and on the computer will become fakes, imitations and reproductions.
NFT redefines "true".
Take another look at the painting I hung on the wall. I know it is mine, and you know it. This is consensus. When we admire the painting I hung on the wall, whether it is a genuine or an imitation, the psychological feelings caused to me are completely different, and it is mine, not yours, and the psychological feelings it creates for you and me. It is also completely different. This difference in psychological feelings is the meaning of NFT.
A few days ago, I passed the Imperial Capital Street with my friends and saw a Lamborghini sports car passing by. I took the opportunity to say to a friend: Look, a sports car is only a mere millions of RMB, and it can only be parked in the parking lot. There is no way to show it at dinners and parties. And a $8 million encrypted punk avatar can be shown to friends at the party anytime, anywhere, and can even be set as a WeChat avatar. A $8 million avatar is a proof of your strength and taste. Every generation needs a unique art form to show its new identity that is different from the outdated tradition. NFT art is the best form of rebellion against the traditional world by the new aristocrats in the digital age.
