The Non-Fungible Token is a digital token that can be found in a game called Cryptokitties. It is possible to have more than one of the same NFT, and they are tracked on the blockchain. These tokens are part of a new wave of digital artistry, which explores how these tokens interact with traditional ideas about value and authorship. One of the problems with digital media is that it is difficult for artists to remain anonymous. They want their work to remain their property, without having the artist's name attached. The NFT is an intriguing new form that allows for anonymity in artistry. The reason this form of artistry is important is because it engages with traditional notions of value and authorship in a new way.

The art market is lucrative for a variety of reasons. Art has been used to store value for centuries. The art market is also less susceptible to economic downturns, which has led investors to invest in collectibles. As the years go on and generations come and go, the value of these items can only increase or stay the same. As I was reading my textbook one day, I came across an interesting passage, "A painting with a high price tag is in danger of suffering the same fate as any other work of art: degradation." This fascinated me because it's not so much about the canvas or what the artist created but rather how weathered it becomes. And who can really predict whether a painting will be more valuable in 50 years than it is today?
