Who is Beeple?

Mike Winkelmann, widely known as Beeple, is mainstream known for releasing a set of widely used Creative Commons VJ loops; he has worked on concert visuals for Justin Bieber, One Direction, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Zedd, deadmau5 and others.

In the NFT scene, his “Everydays: The First 5000 Days”, a collage of Beeple’s work beginning May 2007, was auctioned at legendary auction house Christie’s. The artwork was sold for over 69 million U.S. dollars which shocked not only the crypto art scene but also the mainstream. (Read more: Beep, Beep, Beeple?)

What are non-fungible tokens (NFT)?

Non-fungible tokens, in layman’s terms, are items that are not interchangeable, not exchangeable, not transportable, and not replaceable. Meaning that each NFT, more often than not, is distinct, unique, and easily verifiable. 

Anything can be an NFT; it could be an image, an audio, a video, a digital art, an in-game asset, a virtual land, and even actual real-life-objects. NFT arts are also known and considered as crypto art.
