💚Dark Green!💚

Todays post is part two of the themed headshots! As you might have noticed, I let the people from my Instagram page vote for the next colour! Green was the winner!

Who are these lovely 4 beans you might ask? Let's introduce them :D

1️⃣ is my lovely depthwing/mudwing hybrid Neptune. I have posted about her a long time ago on my Instagram, back when my art style was still different (for those who know me from there). Regardless, here is a bit of info on her: Neptune is a cook at a local restaurant in the Depthwingkingdom. She is quite shy, so her home is a bit away from the kingdom. She prefers to keep to herself on her little farm, when she isn't working. I got this lovely bean from niko_draws_too_much on Instagram

2️⃣ is Python! I got the lovely Mud/#rainwing hybrid from ghostfire_draws on Instagram Well, anyways Python is a 57 year old (dragon years) leather tanner! He is most skilled with crocodile and cow leather, which is why his main diet consists of these two animals. The prey he hunts is mostly ending up in is leather tannery and kitchen! He supplies to different leather workers in the Mudwing Kingdom

3️⃣ is Tangleweed! Another Depthwing, tho this time not a hybrid. I got them from niko_draws_too_much on Instagram. Tangleweed is a soldier and regularly patrols the borders of the Kingdom. It's not rare that he encounters Neptune there. The two actually get along quite well, cause both of them are more of loners and therefore know how the other is feeling about too much social interactions! Another little fact: He is the father of my Depthwing Dolphin!

And 4️⃣ is Trefoil. I got him from DeathhDreamerArt on Toyhouse. Trefoil is the local builder of the village he is living in. The young Leafwing has built at least 50 % of the buildings of the newly found village and therefore has quite the good reputation. When he isn't working, Trefoil mainly uses his free time to help out his sister Clover with her little gardening shop

Hi, I saw in a previous post of yours that you had the second issue of the new dwd comics and was wondering your thoughts on how Drake has been funding his and Gosalyns life on 90s plushies

Like do you think Quackerjack’s a regular buyer? (imagine if Darkwing somehow finds out that he actually profits from QJs crimes)

(your posts always brighten my day :3 btw)

Honestly, this made me laugh so much because I used to have a pretty extensive collection of TY Beanies that I had mostly gotten from second hand thrifts, and eventually weeded through them and kept a few specifically special ones, such as a King Ghidorah one.

It's really funny because in reality, they only have value to whomever is collecting them, and some are more rare than others, either by limited release or by tag errors. They're basically like the precursor to NFTs and Bitcoin, but you actually have a physical item and your only real leverage is if it's a factory defect, misprint or color error.

The thing about toy collecting is that the aftermarket prices are inconsistent and ultimately are up to the vendors, and if a vendor sees it as a regular old toy that can get sold off easily, you might find a good deal if you know how to flip it and someone is willing to pay.

That said, knowing QuackerJack, he'd probably be one interested in classic Beanies because they're a retro style toy, no gimmicks or extra features to make them work. Absolutely timeless, even. They still make them, although they've gone through a lot of a changes compared to the originals on the TY Beanie Boom, but you can get them at nearly any grocery store, card shop, pharmacy, amusement park, and some are location exclusive and some are seasonal. It's a really devious sort of hook they have, and it's easy to get sucked into collecting them without realizing it.

QuackerJack absolutely would want to hoard these as well. They're retro toys now.

Honestly, it would be pretty funny if Drake set up a public exchange with one of his buyers, and sees QuackerJack's there to pick up the box and hand over the cash. He can't exactly decline the transaction because as far as he knows, QJ doesn't know what his beef with him would be, so it would probably be the most awkward business Drake has had, and QuackerJack probably would think that guy was a weirdo. 😆

((Aww, thank you~))

Meet Your New Digital Friends with Cyber Companions NFTs

We live in a highly digitalized world, and Bermuda Unicorn is at the precipice of it all by enhancing the lives of individuals through their Cyber Companions NFT. These digital items are quite rare and fall in the category of digital artifacts that mark the new forms of companion bots that people interact with in their lives and are forms of animations that are both technical and artistic.

What are Cyber Companions?

From the onset, it is important to note that Cyber Companions are not mere virtual toys – they are intended friends with distinct characteristics that allow each user to find something unique and appealing when embracing the package. Every piece of item in this collection is a very unique and creative piece of art done by artists and they each come with their unique features and history. The opportunity to have these companions is present in their capability to socialize with you in different digital spaces as well as give company and amusement.

The Bermuda Unicorn Marketplace

However, the real-life version known as the Bermuda Unicorn marketplace helps describe, purchase, or trade these Cyber Companions. The website is easy to navigate and has a friendly community of hunters and crafters, making it even more suitable for newbies who are interested in NFT. Thanks to the easy and efficient sales process and the abundance of choices, Bermuda Unicorn allows people to find a perfect fit, whether they want to invest or simply collect beautiful avatars.

The Promise of Companionable Presence

The idea of artificial support in communication is becoming more popular among people, as loneliness during quarantine and other circumstances forces individuals to find friends online. Cyber Companions are different because of the ability to create and develop personalities, which can be changed, and the companions’ desire to adjust to your preferences. In essence, if you are in search of a form of phantasmal partner to accompany you while playing out virtual reality games, an avatar – virtual pet, or just a special character with whom you can socialize, the Cyber Companions can be that type of companion. It is also possible to state that they possess the option to change and progress over time, which is not true about many other assets, so it has its unique value and is more than only digital.

Security and Authenticity

By escalating Internet technology and incorporating blockchain rather than relying on normal AI, Bermuda Unicorn guarantees that each Cyber Companion is exclusive and authenticated. This serves to complement the security as well as authenticity of these NFTs, which makes them unique digital assets. Blockchain brings transparency and secured ownership records in the form of records that explain the origin and history of Cyber Companions to create trust with the buyers. Such a level of security is particularly critical in the contemporary marketplace as the focus under the digital era highlights the importance of genuine and unique products.

It is all about a Community of Digital Pioneers

The difference between the Bermuda Unicorn and other marketplaces or digital art sales is that it is more than just a shopping hub for NFTs; instead, it is an online ecosystem for individuals interested in the concept of virtual companionship. This means that you can follow other people interested in similar ideas, and with this community, you can share stories and ideas for new creations. There are always learning, operational, and developmental events, discussions, and presentations in the marketplace. This is a most refreshing feeling of togetherness that is a key attribute of the Cyber Companions collection.

Future Prospects

The uses of Cyber Companions can be as limitless as they are in being developed progressively onward; thus, they are considerably able to show unpredictable utilization in effectuating human life. They might exist and be embedded in the walls of virtual reality, on the feeding list of social networks, and as components of learning software. One can only conceive of the possibilities of a Cyber Companion helping in learning a new trade, taking us on a tour of a place we cannot travel to physically, or just simply being a friendly company to those who may feel lonely. The opportunities can simply be described as vast, and Bermuda Unicorn has taken on the role of pioneering the future that is now on the horizon.

Join the Digital Revolution

In the interests of entertainment, extending software music libraries, finding an artificial friend for oneself, or big investments in the constant evolution of virtual goods, Cyber Companions are a good chance. They differentiate them from crowds in terms of the art of design, the application of AI and other technologies, and the interactivity built into the exhibits. Browse the catalog and become part of the world that offers Video Phone Ribbons and is changing the idea of a virtual companion.

Visit the Cyber Companions NFT Collection To begin your exploration of digital companionship, visit the Bermuda Unicorn website to begin your excursion into the realm of digital friends today. As more and more people are getting involved in owning NFT and exploring the capabilities of digital companions, now is the high time to come in and find out what Cyber Companions can bring you.

All About NFTs (Non-Fungible tokens)

NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital certificates that prove you own something special online, like art or virtual items. They use blockchain tech to make sure it's authentic. They're cool for artists and gamers, but they also have some issues, like using a lot of energy and being unpredictable in value.

Sure! Let's break it down into simpler terms:

What is an NFT?

An NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is like a digital certificate that says you own something unique on the internet.

What does "Non-Fungible" mean?

"Non-Fungible" means it's one-of-a-kind. Unlike money where one dollar is the same as another dollar, each NFT is unique and can't be exchanged on a one-to-one basis.

Digital Ownership:

NFTs can represent ownership of digital items like art, music, videos, virtual land, or items in video games. Think of it like owning a rare trading card, but online.

Blockchain Technology:

NFTs use a technology called blockchain, which is like a digital ledger or record book that keeps track of who owns what in a very secure and transparent way.

Smart Contracts:

These are automated agreements written in code that manage the creation and transfer of NFTs. They make sure the rules of ownership and transfer are followed without needing a middleman.

Where to Buy and Sell NFTs:

There are online shops (called marketplaces) like OpenSea or Rarible where you can buy, sell, and trade NFTs. It’s like eBay for digital items.

Examples of NFTs:

Art: Digital artworks that you can buy and own.

Collectibles: Virtual trading cards or memorabilia.

Gaming: Items like skins or virtual real estate in video games.

Music and Videos: Songs or video clips that you can buy as collectibles.

Environmental Impact:

Creating and trading NFTs uses a lot of energy, which can be bad for the environment because it adds to carbon emissions.

Value and Speculation:

The value of NFTs can go up and down a lot. Some NFTs sell for millions, but others might not be worth much. It's a new and unpredictable market.

In short, NFTs are a way to own and trade unique digital items using advanced internet technology, but they also come with environmental and financial risks.

2023 in Review

2023 was a very tiring year, to put it mildly. I know everyone has been having a rough time, not just me. There's so much going on to be angry or upset about.

I want to at least try to focus on the positives and my own development that's happened over the course of this year. This post will likely be super long and rambling, so I'll put it under a cut here.

If you don't want to read it all (valid), I want you to know that we can make 2024 a better year together. Things will be better. We will make them better.

As far as my own personal growth, I've done quite a few things that I was always nervous to do or felt weren't possible.

I'm still anxious now that AI is even more of a problem than NFTs and standard art theft, but I want to share my art! I hate that I have to sacrifice quality by watermarking and making everything into JPGs, but it's the only way I'll feel safe enough to still share my art. I'm also anxious about getting chewed up by social media in general and ruining my mental health by feeling like I have to be Always Posting.

1.) I've started posting my art again publicly, on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, and here on Tumblr. I've started streaming on Twitch again, too.

I've tried to maintain an art blog or something similar multiple times before either getting too protective of my work or giving up. I don't want to give up again.

I've also started interacting with other artists more. I want to make more art friends! It just sucks that trying to reach out and comment often on Instagram takes so much of my energy.

2.) I've opened my own online shop on Etsy.

I've only made one sale so far this year, and it still means the world to me. I've always wanted to have my art on shirts and prints. The designs I've started off with are some basic ones, and I want to push to have even more detailed and cooler stuff. It's scary trying to sell my art as merchandise, but I want people to have stuff that they'll be excited to have and wear. I've ordered one of my own designs that I was the most excited for and I love it. I love being able to wear something I made.

I wish I had the space to do all the prints and things myself. I'd love to be even more involved in the process than using print-on-demand, but then that also requires me to have more time for order maintenance and less time for art and myself.

3.) I've opened commissions on VGen.

My friend was kind enough to give me a verification code, and I've opened a few offerings. I still need to advertise and push my stuff, but I feel a lot more confident in my art than I have in the past. I've tried to offer commissions before but always felt my art wasn't good enough. It didn't help that people rarely wanted my art, either.

4.) I'm cracking the code of my own brain.

I always have issues sticking to habits and being productive. (I'm almost certain I have ADHD, but trying to even get to see a doctor for an official diagnosis is something I haven't had time or money to pursue.) This year I created a scoreboard to try and gamify things that I need to do. It really helped me get through this year, all the way to about October when it became too much to maintain. This past month I've revamped it to make it more fun and easier for me to keep up with. I'm super happy with it so far, and I hope I can manage this one all the way through 2024.

5.) I'm taking my health more seriously.

I've been aiming to exercise at least 3 times a week, go for walks, or do anything to keep me moving. This has definitely helped my mental health and it's something I want to continue this year. I walked 1200 miles as a personal challenge! This year I'm aiming for 1500! I want to aim even higher, but I don't want to pick something so outrageous I burn out or don't bother finishing it. My rule is always that I can raise my goal but never lower it.

My friend got me into Conqueror Challenges, and big shiny medals have been a motivator for monkey brain.

I feel like I wrote this all mostly positively with a negative spin. That wasn't my intention, but I'm also being real about where I am and where I want to go in my life. I'm still learning and figuring out what I really want. I just know that I want art to become a much bigger part of my life again, and I want to be healthy so that I have that much longer to create even more art. I have so much planned and so much more that I want to make or media I want to try.

I was also able to lose some weight and I think that's made a difference, too. I don't feel as brain-fogged or as tired. I need to focus on sleeping more, though.

6.) A small thing, but I'm taking good care of my plants.

I love having plants so much, but they usually don't last very long. I had to get rid of my plants when we first adopted my cat, but I've made space for them that will keep him safe and out of them.

A coworker gifted me a plant for my birthday at the beginning of 2023, and it's still going strong. It's gotten huge since then. Looking at it honestly makes me so proud. One of my dreams is to one day have a green house or sunroom filled with different plants, and a garden to grow our own fruits and vegetables. It would make me so happy if this guy could be the first in its permanent home there.

7.) I've been doing better mentally and with handling my emotions.

I've always been highly emotional to the point that I couldn't control them. I'm still working on it, but I'm getting better at not letting my emotions lead my actions and taking time to think things through. Journaling has helped a lot, and I'd like to start meditating regularly to see if that helps, too. My girlfriend has been so patient and helpful with this since we've been together, especially in this past year. I'm incredibly lucky to have her. 😭 💚

I want to be hopeful for 2024. I want to put out more artwork and have more fun that I can share with others to make this year nicer for us all, if only a little.

If you read this far, please just know that I'm proud of you for making it through this year. Whether you were able to do things that you wanted to do or not, you survived and I'm happy you're still here.

I hope you have a much better year in 2024, with more love and kindness, more fun, more good food, and more rest. 💜

While AR has been around for years, it is still confused with virtual reality (VR) – despite the two technologies offering quite different utilities and experiences. While VR refers to creating a whole new virtual world, which simulates the real world, AR takes the real world and augments computer-generated images, figures and landscapes onto it to provide a more immersive experience to the users. The growth of AR technology is gradually transforming various industries, from marketing to manufacturing and healthcare. Notwithstanding,  a whole range of new businesses are springing up to utilize this futuristic technology, but none more than the social media industry. For a decade or so, augmented reality (AR) has taken over the social media market, with platforms like Snapchat, Facebook, and Instagram adopting this novel technology. Today, billions of social media users use AR to enhance their posts and selfies. The most significant application of AR to date, besides social networks, is the Pokemon Go game, which allows players to search for rare Pokemons around their surroundings and landscapes.  How augmented reality is making its mark on global industries Integrated augmented reality is already a big part of many global industries, from e-commerce to branding, education, and gaming. AR technology has been widely incorporated by e-commerce retailers to help customers fit and try on products such as makeup, clothing, accessories, and even furniture before making a purchase, leading to higher confidence in buying decisions. Moreover, schools are increasingly adopting interactive learning techniques – using AR technology to make learning more interactive by providing students with immersive experiences, from exploring 3D models of complex subjects to interactive history lessons at historical sites and training simulations in industries such as medicine and aviation. Notwithstanding, mobile AR games such as Pokemon GO expound on the potential of AR in gaming, creating a novel way of playing games whereby a player exercises as they enjoy the virtual gaming experience. However, the use of AR technology in social media remains the most popular utility – translating to a mass adoption of the technology worldwide. From AR filters and lenses to AR shopping, a novel feature of the technology on social media sites, the technology is transforming the social media industry.  AR x Blockchain Technology: Bringing Digital Data To the Real World Despite the massive growth of AR, persistent challenges that cripple the Web 2 internet age are also impacting the growth of this technology – the biggest challenge being data ownership and management. The marriage between blockchain and AR could solve these problems and seismically impact the future of multiple industries, especially social media. Unique identities on social media Blockchain technology introduces asset uniqueness via non-fungible tokens (NFTs), whereby each NFT represents its own distinct characteristics and value. This creates a different dynamic on how AR can be used across social media. For instance, Cappasity, a decentralized AR/VR ecosystem for 3D content exchange and e-commerce, allows 3D object creation that can be used on social media sites.  This may allow social media retailers to create unique 3D objects that create an immersive virtual shopping experience for the customer.  Blockchain technology allows these 3D content creators to produce, rent, and sell unique 3D images directly on the Cappasity marketplace. As they are on the blockchain, every image is assigned its own unique “number” preventing copyright infringement.  A decentralized future for social media  Another Web 3 company that stands out is Peer Inc., which aims to merge AR and social media on a decentralized platform. The firm looks to introduce the immersive experience of AR to decentralized social platforms via its recently launched Peer SuperApp, including an AR-powered social platform (Peer Subspace), AR glasses and headsets. 

The company provides its decentralized federated identity (DFI) to every social media user, allowing them to own their entire digital footprint from social and media content they’ve collected throughout their lives. Additionally, users can create public utilities (access tokens) to their data so they won’t need to share their DFI with each service they sign up with, decreasing their vulnerability on the net. Finally, Peer Inc. is also building an AR-based social media network, Kudzu, atop its high-tps blockchain. The network aims to solve the challenges affecting current social platforms, such as echo chambers, fake news, and misinformation, given the immutability of blockchain technology. The platform will also allow every user to own their data and monetize it as they see fit.  Social media is evolving day by day as humans’ ingenuity, desire to connect, and technology grow. The integration of AR and blockchain could be a major turning point for the industry, as AR shopping, interactive posts and more complex technologies are built atop of these technologies.  With loads of data collected on social media, the growth of decentralized social platforms such as Cappasity and Peer Inc. will transform the AR social media space, allowing users to own and monetize their data, removing the absolute control that big data companies currently have over social media platforms. Additionally, AR content creators can create unique and verifiable virtual assets without fear of copyright infringements.  Source

Unlocking Profit Potential: How to Make Money Out of NFTs

In this week’s blog, we delve into the exciting realm of NFTs and explore how both artists and investors can monetize this groundbreaking technology. NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, offer lucrative opportunities for artists to generate income and for investors to explore new avenues of financial growth. 

As an NFT artist, there are several ways to monetize your creations. By minting your artwork as NFTs, you can tap into a global marketplace and sell your digital art directly to collectors. Each sale can provide you with revenues, and as your reputation grows, you may attract higher bids and greater profits. 

Furthermore, NFTs offer the advantage of royalties. As an artist, you can set a percentage for royalties on each subsequent sale of your NFT. This means that even if your art appreciates in value and is resold multiple times, you continue to earn a portion of the profits. This long-term revenue stream can provide a stable source of income and reward you for the ongoing popularity of your work. 

For investors, NFTs present exciting investment opportunities. Investing in NFTs allows you to participate in the growing market and potentially benefit from the appreciation in value of rare or sought-after digital assets. Similar to traditional art investments, thorough research and an understanding of market trends are crucial to identifying valuable NFTs and making informed investment decisions. 

In addition, NFT revenues offer the potential for crypto earnings. As an investor, you can acquire NFTs using cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum. If the value of these cryptocurrencies appreciates over time, your NFT investments may provide a dual benefit, combining the value of the artwork itself with potential crypto revenues. 

Blockchain art and NFTs have disrupted traditional art markets by offering new avenues for revenue generation and investment growth. As an artist or investor in the NFT space, it is important to stay informed about industry trends, engage with reputable platforms, and connect with the vibrant NFT community. 

In conclusion, NFTs provide remarkable NFT investment opportunities for both artists and investors to monetize their involvement in this innovative technology. As an artist, you can leverage NFT art monetization and NFT royalties to earn revenues and establish a sustainable income stream. Meanwhile, as an NFT investor, exploring the NFT market can potentially lead to financial growth and crypto revenues. Embrace the potential of NFTs as both an artist and investor to unlock new horizons in the digital art landscape.

Is Media The New Luxury?

By: Bryson Russell

“It is indisputable that the next wave of luxury brands will be media companies,” says Daisy Alioto, editor-in-chief of entertainment and culture newsletter Dirt. It’s a bold claim. But Dirt did score 1.2 million in seed capital funding last year, while traditional digital media standard bearers have been closing up shop left and right. What’s going on? Daisy’s explanation: the future of media is luxury: exclusive media experiences that blend social connection with access to cultural alpha. Examples can include a magazine where subscription is invite-only, a newsletter or podcast that requires a $1,000 purchase price or even being a member of certain exclusive groupchats, Telegram channels, or Discord servers. 

What makes media feel luxurious? It’s all about quality of information…which leads to quality of community. You start with an exclusive access mechanism, . An exclusive access mechanism, such as limited paid memberships, NFT collection, invite-only subscriber list. This attracts A network of influential or desirable users (insiders, influencers, opinion leaders, enthusiasts) which means that membership now grants access to cultural alpha: being the first to know about new trends, places to go, opinions, thought leadership and other content from influencers. It’s social community, professional networking, and content consumption all at once — and it feels privileged just to be in the room. 

Why now? Luxury media experiences have been emerging since the pandemic lockdowns, but the rapid rise of the Access Economy is positioning luxury media experiences as more desirable than ever. Shifts in the digital ad market and social platform usage are driving users away from centralized big social media platforms and onto fragmented social experiences. These media-focused “paid communities” offer an experience that stands out from the infinite scroll of algorithm-driven content feeds. But this is a challenge for brands - luxury media is not only exclusive, it’s self-sustaining and creator-owned. Brands and creators looking to authentically integrate with this new wave of media face new challenges in adding real value without coming off as (or being) interlopers. The simple takeaway is that information is everywhere. High-quality information is rare. How are you helping your audience access information that feels luxurious? 

“In the age of information overload, the ultimate luxury is meaning and context.” - WIRED Manifesto

4 Surprising Things You Can Leave in Your Will

Let’s face it. The thought of creating a will isn’t exactly the most cheerful. However, it’s essential and can sometimes be unexpectedly amusing when we dive into some of the weirder things you can leave behind in your will. Instead of solely focusing on the estate and property inheritance, we can venture a little further into the oddities of the legal realm. This post will walk you through four strange and surprising things you can leave in your will as idiosyncratic parting gifts to your loved ones.

Cryptocurrencies and NFTs

The online world has opened up new possibilities for inheritance with the growing popularity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you invest in these currencies, you may, at one point, have wondered: “Can I leave my cryptocurrencies and NFTs in my will?” You sure can! You can bequeath your virtual wallet to someone upon your passing. Moreover, as NFTs are now taking the digital art scene by storm, why not leave a unique artwork or a collectible to a loved one? Being digital assets, these may require including the private keys or other instructions to access them in your will. Now’s the best time to brag about that one-of-a-kind CryptoKitty or rare digital comic you’ve invested in over the years. Expect some raised eyebrows and giggles in the process, but hey, you’re passing down valuable (and sometimes adorable) digital assets for the future!

Loyalty Points and Air Miles

Did you know you can spread the travel love, even beyond the grave? Many loyalty programs, such as hotel and airline reward schemes, allow transferring points and miles to beneficiaries. These can come in handy for a turbo-charged shopping spree or a soothing vacation. Don’t forget to include your loyalty program account details in your will—your loved ones deserve that first-class upgrade!

Social Media Accounts

We spend a substantial amount of time sharing our lives with the world through social media. And as the world was forced to go virtual, our online presence became even more significant. Preserve your digital legacy by including instructions on how to handle your social media accounts in your will. You can appoint a “digital executor” who’ll manage your accounts or even transform your Facebook profile into a digital memorial.

Body Parts

Elvis’s pelvis, anyone? Though it might sound downright bizarre, you can indeed add specific instructions for bequeathing body parts in your will. Scientists, doctors, or even artists like Damien Hirst might be interested in using your physical self for research, education, or creepy contemporary art. Want to donate your body to a medical school? Make it known in your will! These are just a few examples of the many surprising things you can leave in your will. From leaving a collection of weird artifacts to pay-for-performance directives, the possibilities are as vast and eccentric as your imagination. So put on your thinking cap (or wizard’s hat), and transform your last will and testament into a delightful, albeit unorthodox, legacy. Read the full article

This was an important part of year throughout the history. Malanka yesterday, today Sidereal winter solstice celebrations in Asia, Thorrablot, Old New Year and even the beginning of Summer of Love in 1967. Ritual bathing, caroling, bonfires, feasts, sacrifices. Harvest or sowing, depending on where you are. Somebody also decided that it's Logic Day but I don't see much logic in it with so much other festivities at the same time. I went to town and had a chat with someone about how it is, even on a rare occasions of some events or celebration here, nobody knows about it. People just watch tv or shop. I feel it almost doesn't matter what a festival is, if it is big or small, old or new. People change, migrate, nations merge or "divorce". Everything is in flux. But you either look forward, notice, prepare, gather, cook special festive meals, or life blurs into a grey line - instead of a colourful ribbon. Einstein said: "There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Lets have more miracles. Everyone can be a small miracle worker on a daily basis. #calendar #celebration #sankranti #January #oldnewyear #linandara #wonderlust #isitreal #dreamscape #escape #innerwork #adventurethatislife #portal #iamdreamer #digitalart #layersofexistence #feeltheforce #thoughts #winter #happiness #fire #nft #ai #AI #aiart #livingmeaningfully #escapism #history #today #folklore (at Newtown, Powys) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZ9_j9NNS4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Fractional NFT Is The New Trend; The Trend To Unlock Barrier-Less Investment

New Age Of InvestingBuy-Backs Made EasyFractional NFT Are Just FAB!

Can you imagine how a virus spread made the entire world go digital for literally everything?

Schools, jobs, shopping, food, and almost everything went virtual. It was difficult for most of us to move from physical to digital. However, from a business perspective, the year 2020 gave a potential boost to various businesses, especially startups. The Fractional NFT market went mainstream during this period and exploded more than anticipated.

In the early days, NFTs were exclusively used by passion-led creators. But then, we have come a long way while exploring its nook and corner.

NFTs – The Gateway To A Real Purpose

NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is the best technology in this digital era to grow the microeconomy of a country. Recently, people appreciated this new-gen technology for contributing to charity.

For example, Cadbury Dairymilk Gems recently launched their NFT collection. They partnered with “Save The Children” to achieve their ultimatum of raising funds for underprivileged children’s education. During the Ukraine-Russia war, cryptocurrency and NFT helped Ukraine to raise war relief funds. This heartwarming aspect of NFT technology makes it an ideal option for future-minded investors.

Fractional NFTs Are Burgeoning Alongside The Usual NFTs

Do you all remember the auction of Beeple’s “Everydays: The First 5000 Days”? So far, it is the most expensive NFT sold (around $69.3 million).  Comparatively, investment in NFT collectibles is getting more traffic than ever. The worth of rare and desired collectibles is breaking records in online platforms and auctions.

 In the past, investment in any asset seemed like the activity of wealthy people. Meanwhile, fractional NFTs break the norms by enabling even small capital investors to have fractional ownership of a property or object. Either it can be a soccer team or an expensive ornament.

In general, the non-fungible ERC-721 token will be split into several pieces of fungible ERC-20 tokens. Now, this is how we make fractional non-fungible tokens (FNFTs). 

Fractional NFT Is Not Just An Add-On Feature

From a business perspective, fractional NFTs seem to be a suitable way to collect capital funds. In return, every investor will receive a segmented token. As NFTs offer strong authentication and verification features, businesses can get legitimate investors instead of scammers. 

Doesn’t it sound like the beginning of a new digital investing era?

The digital investment market is exploding, and this area is becoming more mainstream. People find the concept of fractionalization more attractive and valuable. At first, it breaks the entry barrier for small investors and enables them to own an asset. Therefore, more new investors will enter the market and expand the network widely. 

For instance, if an NFT is worth $100, it can be split into 100 partial tokens. So, 100 small investors can buy these tokens for $1 each. The investor will also get fractional asset ownership along with the FNFT. Subsequently, it acts as a reason why fractional NFTs promote the microeconomy of a region. 

Fractional tokens stimulate new platforms to obtain traction from people who possess true passion. We would have come across people passionate about collecting coins, antiques, etc. If used properly, these passion-led investors will not find a more profitable market than an NFT marketplace.

Usually, an investor has to buy all the fractional tokens to get complete ownership of the original content. 

When the investor chooses the buyout option, he should transfer a specific amount of fungible (ERC-20) tokens to the smart contract. Then, a buyback auction will occur within a fixed timeframe where other partial owners can decide to sell or keep hold of the FNFT. Once the buyout is successful, the investor will unlock the ownership of the original NFT. 

This customer-centric and consent-based approach makes FNFTs ideal for businesses that aim to provide a good customer experience. 

Brawny Enterprises Try Out Fractional NFTs

If you are a business owner trying to scale your business, then fractional NFTs will be bread for your butter. Being an adaptive technology, FNTs are more like a tailor-made solution for enterprises. 

When offering fractional NFT services in your own NFT marketplace, it will be a complimentary act boosting the engagement and liquidity of your platform. Both of these characteristics contribute to the growth of a business, especially in this digital generation. It is possible with the incorporation of NFT marketplace development services tailored to your enterprise. 

On the other hand, you will get a chance to be listed on numerous decentralized and centralized exchange platforms. This will open the door to gaining trust and partnership with the veteran community to launch your NFT. 

Providing fractional ownership will be another head-turning feature for the upcoming Web3 ecosystem. In this iteration of the internet, people can access authenticated digital assets. Fractioned tokens will help to distribute the risk and cost of high-value investments like real estate lands, buildings, expensive cars, and more. In simple terms, you can get more customers instead of just one. 

Fractional NFTs are leveraging existing business models around the world. In some cases, they show similar characteristics to securities. If the NFT development services continue to grow at the same pace, we could achieve a democratic financial system in a few years. However, overregulation in this new-gen technology will halt its development in the newborn stage.
