NFTs and wrapping our heads around “collecting” digital art | Ep. 11
Show Notes


Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have been gaining momentum – but what exactly are they, and what constitutes an NTF?  How much are they really worth? Can one tokenize and sell their digital work as an NFT? And are people really paying millions of dollars for tokens?

Amber is joined by award winning Kristel Bechara and the first artist from the UAE to enter the Crypto world and launch and sell NFT’s to global collectors. Here she explains why NFTs are important to artists, the authenticity of artwork and how they are opening doors to global revenue.  Most significantly how the underlying technology of NFTs could become ubiquitous sooner than we think and ultimately everything that we own could be made into and traded as an NFT.
