Nft, real certificates of authenticity
You are nobody in the star system if you haven’t spent a few hundred thousand dollars in a validated work of art Nft. What is it about? The acronym stands for Non Fungible Tokenliterally “token not replicable“. But what are they for? It is about real certificates of authenticity that rest on the blockchain – the chain of blocks that allows you to trace the history of an asset and that prevents its changes unless all those who are part of the chain agree – and that allow you to make a one of a kind digital (but also physical) asset.
Here opens a philosophical question introduced almost a century ago by Walter Benjamin: in the age of its technical reproducibility, what makes a work of art unique? How does a painting, especially if done digitally, differ from its copy? Well, theNft it responds precisely to this need because it contributes to creating “digital scarcity”.

Own Bored Ape Yacht Club Is a set of 10 thousand Nft representing monkeys obtained through drawings that mix different physical characteristics. They originally sold for $ 200 each, but now they have one evaluation which has increased by, at least, a thousandfold!
