Què passa quan uneixes Blockchain, art, i la generació Z? Els NFTs podrien esdevenir la pedra angular per resoldre aquest trencaclosques. Però estem davant d'una moda, o una tecnologia amb el potencial de canviar el món digital tal com el coneixem?Show notes:Malgrat que en Ramon ja ens fa una fantàstica introducció al Blockchain, aquí deixem un vídeo força divulgatiu que explica com funciona de manera molt visual.Si després d'escoltar-nos estàs buscant una excusa per pujar al carro dels NFTs, aquest article de ben segur et donarà el coratge que necessites per afegir un parell de col·leccionables de Foundation al carretó de la compra.Jonathan Bales va adquirir una peça d'art digital — també conegut com a vídeo a YouTube — pel mòdic preu de $35.000. De fet, l'autor no només ens intenta convèncer que es tracta d'una ganga, sinó que ens anima a fer el mateix.Es nota que a en Ramon l'apassiona el món dels NFTs. Per aquest capítol ha fet els deures i ens ha deixat un munt d'enllaços interessants. Des de les claus darrere del meteòric salt a la fama del fenomen NBA Top Shot fins als components més fonamentals de per què la gent col·lecciona art.Per altra banda, si et veus amb potencial per a convertir-te en el Van Gogh del segle XXI, aquesta guia t'explica com signar i encunyar el teu art digital.Durant el capítol mencionem el concepte "free to play". Al cap i a la fi, ens referim a jocs — com el Counter Strike — on pagar per vestits, disfresses o altres atributs no et dóna cap avantatge competitiu sobre la resta de participants. Es tracta d'una compra allunyada de l'utilitarisme, purament motivada per raons d'estatus, igual que ho és una bossa de Gucci.
In this episode, we discuss what was the highest price paid for an NBA Top Shot moment (at the time it was purchased) and the article Jonathan Bales's (the buyer) wrote on why he bought it. Hosted by Matt Sulava Instagram: @mattsulava Twitter: @mattsulava
