  • Crypto-Music to the Rescue
    Crypto-music to the rescue FRANCESC PEIRON NEW YORK. CORRESPONDENT 03/27/2021 07:00 There will be those who think that the world has gone crazy, again. The symptoms detected include the sale a few days ago of a digital collage by the artist Beeple for 58.5 million euros. The transaction was carried out in the asset market NFT (non-fungible tokens), “the new frontier in the cryptocurrency gold rush”. This is how Kevin Roose defined it in an article he published in The New York Times on Thursday to explain the NFTs. Incidentally, he turned his column into an NFT and put it up for auction. He sold it for 475,000 euros, which he will use for charity. And what about the digital house, located on Mars (or in the territory of the imagination), designed by the Canadian artist Krista Kim, with the help of an architect, for which they have paid 424,000 euros (288 Ether, the cryptocurrency) , revealed Dezeen magazine . The owner will be able to virtually tour his Mars House - title of the work -, but will never reside in it. Crazy? “A fantastic idea for the music business, another way for artists to monetize their assets,” responded Jeff Walker, co-founder and CEO of Stellwagen Ventures, which aims to develop a platform to develop NFT transactions that are more accessible. for both musicians and ordinary fans. "They are opportunities, which did not exist ten years ago, that allow not only to earn money with the catalog or song sales, but also facilitate entering the digital market and generating income at a completely different level," he remarked.

  • Kings of Leon Will Be the First Band to Release an Album As An
    1. Mark your confusion. 2. Show evidence of a close reading. 3. Write a 1+ page reflection. Kings of Leon Will Be the First Band to Release an Album as an NFT The band’s revolutionary tokens will unlock special perks like limited-edition vinyl and front row seats to future concerts Source: Samantha Hissong, RollingStone.com, March 3, 2021 On Friday, Kings of Leon will release their new album, titled When You See Yourself, in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT) — becoming the first band to ever do so. The band is actually dropping three types of tokens as part of a series called “NFT Yourself,” people involved in the project tells Rolling Stone. One type is a special album package, while a second type offers live show perks like front-row seats for life, and a third type is just for exclusive audiovisual art. All three types of tokens offer art designed by the band’s longtime creative partner Night After Night; the smart contracts and intelligence within the tokens were developed by YellowHeart, a company that wants to use blockchain technology to bring value back to music and better direct-to-fan relationships. A quick rundown: NFTs are a type of cryptocurrency, but instead of holding money, they can hold assets like art, tickets, and music. NFTs operate on a blockchain, which is a publicly accessible and transparent network — meaning anyone can see the details of any NFT transaction. Computers involved in the transactions become part of the network, which keeps updating and can’t be hacked due its nature as many-headed hydra.
