Die heute 21jährige braucht sich nun um die Finanzierung ihres Studiums wohl keine Sorgen mehr machen. Wenn ihr mich fragt die bis jetzt beste Story im aktuellen NFT-Hype.
The picture in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT) – a kind of unique digital asset that has exploded in popularity so far in 2021 – was snapped up for 180 Ethereum, which is equivalent to $473,000, by a collector known only as @3FMusic.An NFT is a unique digital token encrypted with an artist’s signature and which verifies its ownership and authenticity and is permanently attached to the piece.It allows ‚original‘ versions of popular online content – like viral memes and tweets – to be sold as if they were physical pieces of art. The collector @3FMusic is reportedly Farzin Fardin Fard, CEO of a Dubai-based music production company, according to Gizmodo. Zoe, now a university student and waitress, and her father Dave – who captured the photo – were approached by an anonymous person via email in February who encouraged them to sell the image as an NFT.
