Once, there was a first person in the universe who, after having sent who knows how many letters, sended in an email and sent an email.That revolution, which conceptually made the world more accessible, meant a step forward: goodbye to the letters, welcome the e-mails.The same happened with the democratization of credit and debit cards.And the money?Where is my money on paper?
Those transitions have been used for a while, and a lot, a lot of custom.And now, just now, we are witnessing a new paradigm shift with cryptocurrencies, blockchain and NFT.And, in that framework, the art world is turning from the physical- adequate to the letters, to the money on paper, and so on- to give way to the digital universe.

To explain simple what takes time, use and much, a lot of custom, it is worth mentioning that the authenticity of that digital art, of that cryptoarte, is provided by an NFT (non-fungible token), a kind of certificate anchored to a blockchain.And, at the time, it is a kind of pedigree of who possesses it and who created it.
On the Internet there are already art galleries that became large markets
In Creole, if such a sinuous concept can be lowered to land, an NFT could function as a certificate.That certificate, which historically was granted on paper (this is yours because it says "here"), now it is digital and is distributed in an inviolable network, impossible to falsify and extremely easy to check.NFTs are an “inimitable” asset in the digital world, which can be bought and sold like any other type of property, but have no tangible form in themselves.
Thus, since the NFT arrived to move the "the collectible" paradigm, the artists of various branches are already turning their knowledge, desire and experience to the digital cosmos.Now, how this art is composed of pure zeros and some, could anyone take a screen capture of my NFT and say that it also possesses it?Well, a picture of Picasso could be falsified or photocopic but: would it remain a picture of Picasso?End to dilemma: the NFT certifies both authenticity and possession.

And the wheel is already turning.Over there, in April 2021, the millionaire Pop Paris Hilton launched a series of drawings in NFT and collected more than $ 1.000.000.Beyond, actress Mila Kunis collapsed Ethereum with her NFT called Stoner Cats raising about US $ 8.700.000.

“I got into the NFT world to motivate myself with the painting and drawing that was something that I did before music.I did not give him a ball for a while and the NFT relived the desire to put him, ”acknowledges the famous Argentine rapper Bhavi.

“What does not have the NFT interesting?Is the new world, the new way of selling.They are tokens, which gives value to anything, with a digital property.It is decentralized, so you don't depend on any multinational.It is tremendous, ”continues the trapero who has just published Cinema, his latest album.
“I was always interested in cryptocurrencies and when I saw art mixed with cryptocurrencies, I was a little more interested.What was primed is that they told me that it worked, that there were people who collected as figurine Argentinian republic.

And follow: “The most important thing is this kind of art revolution.Before, the way to promote your art, sell it and take out a revenue was quite led because it required to do it very lung.And I did not get almost any revenue.With this world it is easier to do it on social networks, showing the NFT that you have to collect your digital pieces ”.
Ber Sektor cryptoarte
In that sense, the illustrator Francisco Negrello, aka hateteodio, who has just published his book The Last Invocation, coincides with Ber Sektor: “I am interested in the idea of ferriating virtually, with material that was previously excluded from fanzines fairs, such as GifsAnd the animations in general ".Negrello got into the world of NFT on the recommendation of some colleagues and, although he has not yet turned to full, he is already taking a revenue: "I suppose that the above you are, the more credit you will take you away".

And on the Internet there are already digital art galleries that became huge markets.The most emblematic case?That of Onsae, which in 2021 increased a 12.000% negotiation volumes, with a NFT tendal of different characteristics, prices and hypes.Which ones bite in tip?The Crypto Punks that, at least there, stand as the most expensive.It happens that, behind those NFT, there are communities with users who give value.Meanwhile, these tókens become a kind of reward to that value consigned.
We are witnessing a new paradigm change with cryptocurrencies, blockchain and NFT.
For its part, Trapero Bhavi in addition to producing NFT also collects some works."You have to know how to move, as in everything," he warns."First you have to do it for love, you cannot enter through the twine of one because they are niche and cult movements and, if you enter to get a twine, you will do it once and then ... you will stay there, all written", concludes.For all this, if the caireles of digital life include finance, economics, forums, video games and social networks, the step towards an artistic life 2.0 was just a matter of time.
