CryptoPunk #9998

CryptoPunk #9998, part of a collection of 10,000 NFTs, “sold” for $530 million in Oct 2021.

It is literally a pixelated digital picture of a dude with white hair and lime green eyeliner.

Don’t even try to understand why it is worth that much and is it really worth that much.

For some perspective, that digital artwork is worth half a billion dollars.

The Mona Lisa is estimated at a value of $860m.

The most expensive painting ever sold in an auction is around $450m.

Not everything in the world has to make sense, right?

The world of NFTs is sweeping our reality as we know it.

These digital assets and graphical designs are being bought and sold for millions of dollars.

They all exist on what we call a blockchain.

But what exactly is a blockchain and how much do you really know about it?

Have a good read at this article:

It will really open your eyes on what is possible, in the dizzy world of blockchain.
