In the physical world, we have paintings and art that we can buy and collect. We can have a thousand copies of the Mona Lisa, but we always know who created it and which one is the original that holds all the value.
But in the digital world, this cannot be possible. Art gets devalued and it's copied around the world, and it's hard to prove who created it, in order to get credit or even get paid. Well, that was true, until now.
Bitcoin actually uses the technology of Blockchain to send money around, similarly to an app like Messenger using the internet to send messages around. NFT stands for Non-fungible token.
Let's say you want to send a digital photo to a friend through messenger, you have the original on your phone and it's copied to messenger then send to your friend's messenger, and then saved to their phone gallery. You can see the problem here, with a simple transaction like this one, we just created 4 different copies of the photo.
Let's say now that we are using Ethereum, we have a Digital Token that when we send it, will leave the account, get verified, and then travel to the friend's account. So, you have zero copies.
So, now basically by attaching our art to a unique Token. The person holding this token owns the art piece. And because the token is unique the art piece preserves its uniqueness and value, no matter how many other digital copies exist around the internet, because you can always track back to who owns that piece and who created it.
For collectors, it means that they can finally collect digital art, and maybe resale it at a higher price in the future, the same way they do with physical art. Having now valid proof of ownership.
For creators it means that we can always trackback to them, giving the proper credit. And not only they can sell digital art, but they will also be making a profit every time a transaction is made and the art is resale to someone else.
The first thing that you need is a digital wallet, then you will need to buy some Ethereum or exchange other coins that you own for it. Subscribe to a platform and start collecting or selling. 🙂

Welcome to my channel! I'm Chris Ellinas and for the past year, I was struggling with myself if I should start this or not. I'm an introvert by nature, so it was really difficult for me but here it is and I hope that it helps you or at least inspires you. 😊

One of my goals is to specialize, in one of the many fields that the design business offers. And learn skills outside of the design field, like running a business, so one day, I could start my own.
I will try my best to upload at least once a week. The kind of videos that I will upload will be the Design Vlog, where I will talk about business, design, clients, money, how to charge, How to start, working as a remote designer, how to learn graphic design, solving problems, working from home, freelancer, solopreneur, etc.
Fast in Five, where I share fast-paced tutorials, tips, and tricks around design, video, business, and equipment, in 5 minutes or less.
Speed Art, Speedpaint, with graphic design projects, illustrations, in a very fast-paced. And a Podcast where I invite a different like-minded individual in every episode to have an interesting conversation.
