The first all digital artwork  -- a JPG collage by the artist Beeple  -- has sold for $69.3 million at a Christie's auction.

Maybe we should all think twice before erasing those digital images from our memory cards and flash sticks.

So if I can wrap my head around this:

 

"One of the obvious benefits of buying art is it lets you financially support artists you like, and that’s true with NFTs (which are way trendier than, like, Telegram stickers). Buying an NFT also usually gets you some basic usage rights, like being able to post the image online or set it as your profile picture. Plus, of course, there are bragging rights that you own the art, with a blockchain entry to back it up."

Right.  It seems, on the surface anyway, that the blockchain carries the provenance and ownership rights.

Interesting how the artist sells the NFT. Some sites slap on the fees. Seller beware.

In my life, many things delight me. But I especially like to travel. There is nothing better for me before you are going somewhere on the road - this is the anticipation of travels, an attempt to change and become others, but in fact, when you are returning, you are already different. These are just indescribable sensations. But for excellent travels you need to earn a lot. In this matter, financial transactions and trading  always help me out.
