  • Star Trek NFT for enthusiasts, that's fewocious AND how to become a best-selling author
    Apr 10 2022
    Star Trek NFT for enthusiasts The Paramount company, like many big companies, is now launching their own NFT market-place. To promote this they are using their rights to Star Trek to turn the franchise into an NFT project. For just under $250, a computer-generated starship can be purchased. Fans of the series are not thrilled, because in their opinion this does not fit the image of the brand. The NFT's should also be an important criteria for further collections and could perhaps become the flagship of the Paramount.xyz marketplace. Since Paramount also owns rights for Nickelodeon, many are now also thinking of NFT collections of Spongebob, for example. It remains exciting. That's fewocious The 19 year old artist Victor Langlois has collected 20 million dollars in 24 hours for his own metaverse called Fewo-World. For 24 hours, anyone who wanted to could buy a piece of art by the artist known as Fewocious. Almost 5000 people followed the purchase request. The young artist now wants to invest this money in expanding his team to make his own Metaverse possible. With almost 50 million dollars in sales, he is one of the best-known artists on the NFT scene. He describes his approaches as: "The way I view it is, what would Michelangelo do if he had a laptop and social media to talk to the best creators on Earth," How to become a best-selling author GaryVee, who is widely known in the NFT, Web3 world, has a book out called "Twelve and a Half". To promote this, he announced on Instagram that buying 12 copies of this book could have benefits. It subsequently turned out that each owner of 12 books will receive an NFT to the book.

  • Opensea with new upswing, Hack to Earn AND Art NFT to the moon
    Apr 3 2022
    Opensea with new upswing Opensea announced today that Solana NFT's will be tradable on their platform in the future. This has been expected by many for months and is the next logical step to maintain market power. Solana is responsible for the 2nd most NFT transactions and excels in fast and cheap transactions. These have eluded Opensea until now. Moreover, the lack of supply provided an opportunity for other marketplaces to grow by specializing in this blockchain. Hack to Earn A team of hackers managed to capture 600 million dollars in crypto currency. In the process, the play-to-earn game Axie Invinity was attacked. Such thefts are unfortunately not isolated cases in the NFT world and Web 3.0 marketplaces need to provide more security and order in the long run. The in-game currency plummeted by 20% after the hack was announced, which many felt was very little, as 20% up and down can be a normal progression of cryptos. Art NFT to the moon When it comes to the most successful living artist, many think of Beeple or Banksy. But it is actually Jeff Koons. The artist now wants to take his first steps into the NFT world. The project is called "Jeff Koons: Moon Phases". For this Koons created a physical art-piece and put it also onto a NFT. The artwork then will be transported to the moon, in keeping with the "to the moon" meme. Koons says of his project: "I wanted to create a historically meaningful NFT project rooted in humanistic and philosophical thought,"

  • NFT Museum of war, GameStop unstoppable AND Come to the Otherside, we have Apes
    Mar 26 2022
    NFT Museum of war The Ukrainian government wants to start a collection of war paintings. Every artist has the chance to apply with his portfolio to the government and to be included in the collection. Each work will cost about 0.15 Eth, which is about 500 dollars. Releasing the collection has two advantages. Firstly, it raises money, which the government can use in these times. Accordingly, Ukraine has already received 100 million dollars in cryptocurrency in recent months. On the other hand, to draw attention to the war. By storing them on the blockchain, anyone can view the images and restricting them is difficult. So maybe some pictures will make it into Russian society and draw attention there to the destruction in their neighboring country, which they used to call a brother state. GameStop unstoppable The platform has been announced for a long time and finally a first beta version of GameStop's platform can be experienced. GameStop's goal is to make digital property tradable quickly, cheaply and securely. In doing so, GameStop is of course primarily targeting gaming NFTs due to its connection to gaming. The power is to be shifted back to the players and creators. To this end, $100 million will be given to NFT artists who create for the new marketplace. Another innovation is the so-called Layer 2 Blockchain on the Ethereum network. This should make transactions faster and cheaper. Come to the Otherside, we have Apes The bored ape yard club has announced its own Metaverse. After the pitching deck of the company behind the NFT project was released to the general public, some insights into the future of the project were published. After that, a Bored-Ape own Metaverse is supposed to be released in the middle of this year. In addition, a video has now appeared on which, in addition to the bored apes, other NFT projects are also involved here. These are CryptoPunks, Cool Cats, CrypToadz, World of Women, Meebits, Nouns and the Mutant Ape Yacht Club. With their pitch deck, the company behind Bored Ape has raised $450 million in capital for their venture. What's particularly impressive about this is who invested. Investments range from Adidas to Sandbox to GarryV and Mark Cuban. Can they become the big competitors for Facebook's Metaverse ? Time will tell.

  • 2.5 billion dollars worth, a coin in the Ape-Verse AND Capital for Magic Eden
    Mar 18 2022
    2.5 billion dollars worth After an investment of 200 million dollars in the Immutable platform, it is now worth around 2.5 billion dollars. This means that it is already one of the big players. Immutable is a layer 2 scaling solution. This means that transactions on this system, which is based on Ethereum technology, can be traded faster and more cost-effectively through innovative approaches. Immutable tries to cover especially the niches gaming and collections. Large collaborations have also already been announced. ImmutableX is to be the driving scaling solution on the future GameStop store and Opensea has also announced to integrate Immutable X. In addition, the company is still building its own NFT games. Some even very successful like "Gods Unchained". The technology has a lot of potential, which is why such an investment is justified. A Coin in the Ape-Verse The company Yuga Labs, known for their collection "the Bored ape Yacht club". is now launching its own token. For this purpose, a DAO, i.e. a decentralized autonomous organization, was founded to manage the project. The token is to be usable in future games of the brand. A first game is to be presented in the course of the year. Among each owner of a Bored Apes 15% of all Coins are divided. The same applies to the so-called Mutated Apes. 47% will be used for the development of the ecosystem and will remain with the DAO. The rest of the Coins will be divided among VC's, employees and founders. Capital for Magic Eden Magic Eden, like Opensea, is also a trading platform for non-fungible tokens with the difference that you pay with Solana and not Ethereum. Solana has the advantage that the transaction costs are much lower. Mostly only a few cents. In conclusion, this also means that less energy is needed for transacions, so the technology is better for the environment. The company was founded during an initial upswing in the NFT hype. Magic Eden wants to specialize mainly in gaming NFT's, as they see the most potential in this area, especially for the underlying technology Solana.
