In what ways are NFTs shaking up the world of business and art?
NFTs are enabling brands and artists to monetize new forms of assets both in initial transactions and residual (secondary market) transactions using ‘Blockchain’ technology. NFTs can include things such as art, sports cards, and other valuable assets as well as books and other items with utility that provide special access.
How do you think the economy will benefit from NFTs when it comes to business and art?
Yes, for assets, it’s just a better methodology:
1) They have provenance = full historical traceability
2) Prevent damage or bent corners
3) They are more liquid; the process of selling is easier and faster.
Further, NFTs can have a parallel ‘physical’ item as well, if desired.
How has technology changed the way we buy and sell art?
Yes – it’s more transparent now and it’s easier to get clear history and trackable data. That leads to more efficient markets.
What do you think that investing in traditional assets is phasing out?
Traditional assets are not going away; they’re just migrating more to digital format. It’s a platform improvement, not an asset class change. 🙂
What do you think that some of the benefits are to allocating a portion of growing wealth to art?
Oftentimes these assets are not perfectly correlated with other asset classes plus, given scarcity, they could carry more upside potential.
