Ep 5.0: NFTs—Smart Contracts, Paying Digital Artists, & Future Use Cases
Show Notes

What are NFTs?

**NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are BASICALLY deeds/certificates of ownership for digital ART(IFACTS).** 

You can be the owner of a one-of-a-kind piece of art like a .jpg, .png, .gif, movie file (think of owning the unpublished footage of a NBA 3-pointer), music file, blog... It’s original art auctioning, but make it digital. 

This is a huge moment for artists everywhere, even if the million-dollar CRAZE is temporary. Now, you don’t have to be a sculptor or oil painter to be given a voice at the “fine art price tag” table! 

AND!!? This kind of technology isn’t going anywhere! Have a listen to our episode, where we break it down. Even if you know what NFTs are, we imagine the future use-cases in an increasingly digital world. 

Kings of Leon, Jesus-shaped Cheetos, Smart Contracts, thwarting concert tix scalpers, “Crypto Kitties” vs Tamogatchis, the underground trading world of Rare Kool-Aid packets…they all have a place in this podcast.
