Are NFTs the same as bitcoin?

At the outset, the main difference we can highlight is that cryptocurrencies are fungible and NFTs are not fungible, which means that NFTs cannot be replaced by others. NFTs are unique digital assets backed and verified on the blockchain, while cryptocurrencies are decentralized digital currencies with transactions recorded on the blockchain. The most common and important cryptocurrency is Bitcoin, which has been the first widely adopted digital currency originated that did not depend on a central regime. Bitcoin is constantly comparable to gold, as investors see it as a “hedge against inflation”. The cost of gold furthermore stems from what is in essence a social creation: like Bitcoin, gold has a cost as we all agree that it does. The supply of Bitcoin is set at 21 million, which means that, unlike the dollar, there can never be much more than 21 million Bitcoins. This reduced supply causes Bitcoin to be incredibly small. Despite this Bitcoin is still a new technology and asset class, certain investors argue that this volatility is expected and generally invest with a long-term view. As the most funded decentralized currency that operates without the backing of a regime, it gives Bitcoin impressive utility. This increases its use in addition that smart contract functionalities now can encode on the Bitcoin network. The dispute over gold and Bitcoin predominates as an illustrative exemplification of the primary differences between NFTs and cryptocurrency. NFTs are the opposite: NFT stands for “non-fungible token,” which implies that each NFT cannot be modified, supplanted, exchanged, or swapped into smaller pieces, so its value is an integer and unique. Do NFTs have cryptocurrencies? NFTs are mainly purchased with cryptocurrencies, especially Ethereum since this network is where these assets were born. This is a common way for NFT projects to raise additional capital while giving investors a way to indirectly invest in NFTs. Some NFT collections, such as Bored Ape Yacht Club, have made their cryptocurrency called APE coin. Are NFTs better than cryptocurrencies? There isn’t a characteristic of one or the other to compare them in this way, as in the end they are both decentralized digital assets that sit on a blockchain network. So there is no reason to invest in NFTs before cryptocurrencies because they are not comparable. Investors constantly consider the two to be different asset classes because they have different purposes. Do you need cryptocurrencies to buy NFT? The simplest way to mine an NFT is to generate your cryptocurrency wallet. By using this Ethereum or Solana and logging into an NFT platform such as OpenSea or Rarible we can get our hands on NFTs.

What-is-NFT

What does it mean to buy an NFT?

NFTs have been known as a public registry of authenticity and ownership for digital assets, which is realized through blockchain technology. A token is the digital representation of a financial asset, i.e. an asset that can be traded on the market. This token is registered on the blockchain and thereby becomes a type of contract that gives ownership to the person who owns or exchanges this token. So NFTs are digital assets protected by cryptography and exist only in a digital registry. Now, we can better understand what an NFT is: a contract that guarantees the ownership and authenticity of a digital asset within a network of public registries. NFTs because of their exclusivity have a value that has involved multi-million dollar sales and has been a way to generate thousands of dollars. These assets have promised a revolution in virtual transactions. Finally, with this concept, we can say that buying an NFT means that we are buying an asset that is a digital asset and that is unique, so we will not find another one like it anywhere. After buying it, where does it go? The best way to store an NFT is through a wallet, one of the most popular ones known is metamask. This wallet connects to platforms such as OpenSea and there we can visualize our NFT. So, in summary, we can enter the project website or we can go to OpenSea, and there we buy the NFT, it is registered in a blockchain and there it stays, what changes are the people who own it? Then we buy it and it is stored in our wallet of preference or that is compatible with the blockchain network in which the NFT is located, finally, to see it we connect our wallet to a platform such as OpenSea and we can visualize it. We hope this information can help you feel more confident about what happens when we buy an NFT and the profits we can get through them.

What NFTs are used for

NFTs are digital assets that gained a lot of popularity during the pandemic years becoming worth thousands and thousands of dollars. Currently, the market has stabilized more and we no longer see both madness as before, even part of this is due to the fall that cryptocurrencies had almost nothing. These assets can be found in OpenSea which is the main platform where people usually keep their assets. But what are their uses? The uses of NFTs vary quite a lot and they do not only work as digital art, which is what is usually believed, here are some of them Music: We have heard of several bands and musical groups that are exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs. Certifications and licenses: Every day the way is being paved so that we can have our NFT IDs, digitally carrying them and with real validity. Sports: Currently some teams have decided to try selling tickets as NFT, such is the case of the PSG team that has sold tickets for their tour in Japan. Properties and real estate: With the advent of the metaverse and digital properties such as land or smaller assets, eliminating intermediaries in the purchase and sale of real estate. What is the purpose of NFTs? Unlike cryptocurrencies or bitcoin, NFTs are unique tokens, of which there is only one and there will never be another one like it for anything in the world. They are transferable but we can not split them into decimals, for example, if I have 1 bitcoin, I can sell 0.005 part of it and keep the rest, but the NFT is not like that if I have an NFT of something and I want to sell it I can only sell the whole unit and not just a part of it. So in a very simple way, NFTs serves as a certificate that validates that a person owns something which guarantees its authenticity and uniqueness. Why do people buy them? The main reason why people buy NFTs is because of their value, as this always tends to go up, this is because they are unique so if a person wants it they have no choice but to buy it at the price you set. Another reason why people buy them is somehow for a sense of belonging since the most popular NFT collections have communities, so having an NFT makes you part of it. This feature became very popular with the Bored Ape Yacht Club, which was an exclusive club where only people who had their NFT could have access to exclusive content. This stuck and there are now many collections that offer exclusive products and even shares within the collection. How can I earn money with NFTs? The easiest way to earn money is through speculation, you find a collection that you like, you see what they offer you to own the NFT and buy it, what you have left is to wait until the public sale is over and there is a sold out, from this moment is when the offers begin and nothing more is to wait for you to get one that interests you. This sale can be done directly through a wallet transfer or platforms such as OpenSea. Another way to earn money is by the benefits that the collection gives you, for example, there are some that for each collection they sell they give you a part you just for owning one of their NFT, or there are other collections that for having their daily NFT they deposit you the project’s currency which always has a value. In the end, the main way to earn money is by buying an NFT and selling it later at a higher price, although you always have to be careful because this is not necessarily going to happen. In The Blue manakin, we always recommend that you make a good analysis before investing money and as always that this is one that you can afford to lose without affecting you.

This we can mark it with an objective that aims beyond generating money, so if your collection or project comes backed by a cause, it is here on Instagram where you can take advantage of all the audiovisual content that you can use to share it. Take advantage of Lives: One of the best tools Instagram has is its live videos, as they are very easy to use and we can make them at any time.

Use hashtags strategically: It is important to be aware of what are the most popular hashtags on the day, we tend to believe that putting several is enough for our publication to appear in many places, but it is best to be aware every day about what is being talked about the most and use it to our advantage.

What-are-NFT

What are non fungible tokens (NFTs)?

NFTs are an asset that cannot be imitated, in the digital world that is compared to selling any other type of asset or property, but in an intangible form (soft technologies). These tokens can be seen as certificates of ownership of virtual or physical assets. How do they work? With NFTs, different digital files can be tokenized to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought and sold. As with cryptocurrencies, a record of who owns what is stored on the shared ledger such as the blockchain. The records cannot be falsified because this “ledger” is securely maintained by thousands of computers around the world NFTs can also contain Smart contracts that could provide the artist with, for example, a share of a future sale of the token. In many cases, artists retain the copyright to sell copies of those works and thus continue to sell. But for a buyer of an NFT who holds the token, it proves that he is the original owner of the work. Some people compare it to buying a copy signed by the author. In theory, anyone can tokenize their work to sell it as an NFT, but interest has grown following reports of multimillion-dollar sales. In this way, everyone can give “value” to NFTs simply because they believe it is valuable, which is why there are multimillion-dollar sales. In addition, they have the following characteristics: Strangely unique Non-interoperable Indivisible Indestructible Absolute property Verifiable Understanding the basics of NFTs is one of the first things we must do to learn more and more about them.

How to find new Crypto Projects | Blue Manakin

We know that there are currently thousands of cryptocurrencies and that more and more are appearing. Normally new coins can be found in their first phase in the form of ICOs, which is the process in which the creators can somehow raise funds to develop the rest of the project. This is basically when the first investors come to the project. NFTs can also be found when they are still in pre-sale or on a whitelist. The advantage of being able to find these projects during these stages is that we can find them at much cheaper prices than they will be in the final sale. So we will share some ways to be able to find these projects before their public sale: Content creators: It is important to follow the creators of the topics that we like or that we are usually aware of, that is why if we want to find projects that are just about to come out, we have to follow the people who are dedicated to talking about it. Usually, new projects hire people to do promotions for them which still adds confidence to the project. Calendars: We can find on the web different pages that are dedicated to calendarizing the releases of new coins and NFT collections. In them, apart from seeing the release date, we can also find information about the project. Spooling platforms: Several platforms are dedicated to finding new collections and ICOS and creating lists, as for the NFT others can even give a rarity to your NFT depending on their characteristics. Telegram groups and Discord servers: On these platforms, we can be part of communities that are always on the lookout for these new exits and opportunities so by being part of them we can equally find these opportunities before they come out or when they are in their early stages. Crypto marketing agencies: Serious projects usually have a team or agency that is dedicated to their marketing, so following the agency is an opportunity to learn about new projects that are about to come out. In The Blue Manakin, we always have projects which always have a mission or art that we like, so if you always want to find projects that are coming out and are of quality follow us, so you do not miss them.

8 Tips to grow a crypto community

Having a large and active community is one of the most important things to having a cryptocurrency or NFT project because this can be a good sign of a prosperous future in the project which can bring more investors or people who are going to buy our collection. In marketing, it is said that one of the best techniques to promote something is through the mouth of the people, if people speak well of your project that will attract more people because there is something good there. That’s why we bring you some tips so you can make your community bigger: Create a space where your community can live together: One of the first steps we must do is to have a space where we can receive people who will be part of our community, these spaces are usually different depending on what your project is focused on. If it is an NFT project the best is to create a Discord server, here you can create different types of channels to entertain your community and keep it informed about the project. In the case of cryptocurrencies, it is best to have a telegram group, as these are usually more serious so the means of communication must change and the telegram is the space that best suits this. Social networks: Now that we already have a space where our community can stay, the next thing is to have our social networks always active, sharing information about our project and its status. In the same way, if we have an NFT collection it is best to have some networks so to speak, more colorful and cheerful, we can adopt the identity of our project and by that means share it. With a cryptocurrency project, it is best to keep the social networks a little more serious, in which we can share project updates, some important data as “facts” about the problems we seek to solve, and something important is that social networks are like a space that we can use as a customer service. We must not forget to try that in most posts we make, we leave links to our server or group. Use your mission to create a story: The reality is that there are already thousands and thousands of NFT collections and cryptocurrency projects, so it is important to find a way in which our project can thrive. We have to find a problem that we want to solve and with that base, we can develop the best way to share it through a story, an image, and above all a community. The people who join the community will not do it just to make money, but for what it means to be in your project and not just to be there but to be part of it. This will get them to share the project as if it were their own. Moderators: There must be always a person who knows the project active in the group or server, and also helps to maintain order within it, For this, we will use the moderators who will be the people who will be on the server while the creators are not there and what they will do is keep the conversation alive on the server, when someone asks a question also solve it and when people arrive to put disorder they maintain it. Reward your community: There are thousands of dynamics that we can do in our groups to be able to give things to our community and see a way that the creators have to thank them. This can be done through airdrops or by giving away a space for the WL or even an NFT. We can also take advantage of it for our social networks and that way grow the community even more. Make special events: You can make different events for your community, such as a space to share ideas with your followers, and make games inside your server to have a fun time but the important thing is to generate a connection with the community. Collaborations with other communities: Something we always like to mention is that in the end, it doesn’t matter what your cryptocurrency collection or project is about, in the end, we are all looking for the same thing which is to achieve a decentralized financial society. Look for communities that are open to collaboration so together you can grow your communities with more people looking for the same thing and thinking alike. Get experts: Our biggest recommendation is to find people who know how to move through this medium well. A crypto project marketing agency is one of the best ways to grow our community since a good agency already has its moderators and can manage your social networks and make the copies that best suit your project. At The Blue Manakin, we have the tools to help you grow your community, contact us for a quote. We have network moderation and both Discord and Telegram servers and we adjust to what your project needs.

Valuación NFT

Valuation of NFT’s

As we taste, in the crypto world there are two types of tokens: fungible and non-fungible. Fungibles are those that function as money, a peso is always a peso invariably from the conditions of the coin. A peso coin can be replaced by any other peso coin. On the other hand, non-fungible tokens are unique and cannot be replaced by any other token. NFT’s can be used to represent unique digital assets, and are interesting because their uniqueness and ownership can be verified, they can be used in different applications, and they can also be easily exchanged in various markets. Depending on the asset the NFT represents, its value comprises four different components: utility, ownership history, future value, and liquidity. These components can be used by investors to assess whether the NFT is worth investing in, and by creators of NFTs to attract users and investors. The key is that NFTs create many new ways for value creation for creators and asset owners. Below, we break down the four components and discuss what gives value to each: UTILITY: Utility value depends on how the NFT can be used. Two major categories that have high utility value are gaming assets and tickets. For example, a rare and valuable Crypto Space Commander warship sold for $45,250 in 2019, and the value of an NFT ticket is the price of that same ticket. Another dimension of this same utility is being able to use this NFT in an application other than the one in which it was purchased. If you could use that same warship in another game, the value would go up exponentially. OWNERSHIP HISTORY: The value, in this case, depends on the identity of the seller and the previous owners of the NFT. NFT’S with the highest ownership history value is usually created by famous artists or companies with a large presence. Based on this, we can realize that there are two ways to give more value to our NFT: the first is to cooperate with influential companies or individuals to promote these tokens, and the second is to sell NFT’S that have been previously owned by equally influential people. FUTURE VALUE: The future value of an NFT is derived from speculative valuation changes and future cash flow. Valuation is driven by speculation and can often be the key to high value. One could argue that speculation is bad for NFT’S, but it is human nature and a fundamental part of the current financial system. LIQUIDITY: Higher liquidity means higher NFT value. Liquidity is the main reason why tokens created on-chain have a higher value than those not.

Where to find NFT influencers to hire?

Every NFT collection needs a diffusion by all possible means, so we must find the ideal people for this. This diffusion can be carried out by people or pages specialized in the NFT world, which know and more importantly the communities that can make our collection a success. The disadvantages come in that sometimes it can be complicated to communicate with them or to find someone that serves us according to their community and the interactions they achieve in their publications. Below we will discuss some of the ways to hire influencers that are useful for our NFT collections: Look at their networks: One of the best ways is to review all the social networks they have available, so we can review all the content they upload, from the type of post they make to how many people react to them. Normally in their networks, they will have some mail for promotions or the platform will have some kind of method to contact them. They have a Manager: Many times NFTs influencers have a manager that helps them review all the possible collaborations that they will do. So we can reach them through him, we will explain in the best and most appealing way to their manager and if he is interested he will pass it on to his client or someone else he thinks would be better for the project. That he is interested in our project: In the end, the NFT influencers are just as many collectors, so having a flashy project, well organized and with a solid mission is very possible that even the influencer will be well into our project and give it a constant promotion. NFT platforms: On the internet and discord, we can find many NFT ranking platforms, these can even serve us as influencers since many people who are looking for new collections often come to these places to find collections. Normally discord usually has packages that include a shootout for everyone to see your project. Through a marketing company: In most cases, influencers are usually affiliated with a marketing agency. So if you want a sure way to find the ideal influencers for your project and they are already included in your budget, this is one of the best ways to get them. In The Blue Manakin, we have at our disposal a list of influencers who are specialized in the world of NFT collections and who are even collectors themselves, plus we support you to manage your networks and attract people to your project.

The use of NFTs

NFTs have become very popular over the last few years, we all know the story of someone who made the investment and had great returns, or we have all wanted to be part of BAYC.

NFTs go far beyond being art collections with financial and exclusive benefits, so now we’ll share what else NFTs can be used for other than being a unique art collection. Music: We have heard of several bands and music groups exploring the world of NFTs to release versions of their music albums and some of their songs.

UK NFT

England will allow sending legal documents via NFT

The High Court of England and Wales has granted Fabrizio D’Aloia, founder of the Italian online gambling company Microgame, to file a claim through his lawyers Giambrone & Partners LPP to anonymous persons through an NFT drop to their wallets. This move will allow Mr. D’Aloia to serve legal documents to these unknown users through their wallets. This news is quite significant for the crypto world, as it leaves a precedent in which it will be possible to have one more defense against scams and hacks that are often done through wallet addresses. “This is very important because it shows the court’s willingness to adapt to new technologies and embrace blockchain and, in fact, step in to help consumers where previous legislation and regulators simply could not,” Joanna Bailey, an attorney at Giambrone & Partners LPP who worked on the case, told CoinDesk. D’Aloia said he was duped by an online broker into depositing around USDT2.1 million and USDC230,000 in wallets that turned out to be fraudulent. But thanks to the England court D’Aloia is allowed to sue the responsible persons by sending the court documents through an NFT to the wallets. It remains to be seen what will happen in the future with this lawsuit, because if it comes out well we may see new regulations in the crypto and NFT world. In The Blue Manakin, we want to remind you that although the crypto world is the future of finance, we can still encounter many scams with which we can lose our money, so it is important that before sending money do your best to verify the veracity and that with the slightest doubt you have a stop to think a little bit. Also, remember that we should never invest money that we cannot afford to lose.

How to Promote NFT?

Doing an NFT is not just about coming up with a good idea that no one has seen and that’s it, but there is a whole process for our project to reach many more people, we have to give it that push. As we have mentioned in other posts in this blog, it is best to have a team specialized not only in how things move in this world but also know how to move through popular networks. A crypto marketing agency will help us to reach every corner of the internet to make our project sound. Sometimes tactics change, what worked for one collection may not work for the next but now we will share in a generic way what you can do in the different social networks and main platforms to promote your NFT. The networks and platforms for NFT promotion are: Discord: It is where your community lives, so before talking about advertising, it is important to comment that your server has to look flashy and organized so that when people get to it they can check easily and find all the information without further complication. The best way to advertise on discord is through collaborations with other collections, preferably that these are of a similar style to our collection but the truth is that you can collaborate with anyone, this way you can reach thousands of people. The link to your discord must be present in all publications of the other social networks. Twitter: In the main network for your publications, in this one, the important thing is to generate content that goes according to the turn of our collection, with fun and interesting tweets talking about our project. NFT promoters are used on Twitter, it is important to verify that their engagement is good and not very different from the number of followers they have, usually with them you can handle giveaways, Rt, QT, and different dynamics of follow-up. Twitter ads also work to attract more people, but it is better to first share them through promoters. Instagram: It is the network to make our project more personal, here we will share the best arts to draw attention to our collection, and here we will share the same in our stories if the information of the project so we can also take advantage to do live chatting about the project, share some event we are going to. Here it is best to contact promoters to upload stories and publications, here on Instagram it is normal to find pages of NFT magazines, which can help give visibility to the collection, making a publication of it and uploading to their stories. Ranking and scheduling platforms: In discord and on the internet we can find different platforms that are dedicated to serving as a collection release calendar. These are usually the pages that expert collectors visit to find collections about to be minted so finding a good page and making the investment to be seen on the main page of your website doesn’t hurt. Gleam: Gleam serves us quite well to make a massive giveaway, this we can take advantage of it to make different entries to earn more points and have more chances to win, these entries can be from following us in all our social networks, to make rt and give like in publications, but certainly, a feature of the most important would be to get them to share in their networks the competition, in this way we can get much more traffic in our social networks. These are the general strategies to follow in the different networks and platforms, but as always we recommend doing it by the hand of a marketing agency because as mentioned above does not always work the same for all networks and at least here in The Blue Manakin we can adapt to what your project needs and give it the visibility it deserves, so quote us.

PSG NFT japan tour

PSG sells NFT tickets for its Japan tour

French soccer team Paris Saint Germain will return with its Japanese tour for the first time in 27 years, and it comes as an innovation as the ticket for its matches in Japan comes in the form of NFT. Three premium tickets for the Japanese Tour NFT will be available, one for each of the three matches, and will be on sale until Wednesday. Those who manage to purchase their NFT tickets for the PSG Japan Tour will get VIP access to the venue and will also be able to meet and greet with some of PSG’s star players. As this is the first time PSG has returned to Japan since 1995, an NFT will be launched to commemorate the event. PSG’s first match on their tour will take place on July 20 with Kawasaki Frontale as part of the J1 League. Some of the soccer stars present will be: Kylian Mbappe Neymar Jr Lionel Messi  Marco Veratti Marquinhos  All of whom will be on tour in Japan. We see that soccer clubs are among the companies that have more acceptance for innovations related to cryptocurrencies and NFT, being undoubtedly PSG one of the first to adopt them. For since December 2020 they have had their fan token on Binance which they use to encourage the participation of their fans around the world in club affairs. Today PSG stands as the first soccer club to sell its ticket as NFT, but it is worth noting that around the world other clubs are also championing many bullish innovations regarding the adoption of digital collectibles. One example is that in March, FC Barcelona announced that it was preparing to launch its NFT collection and cryptocurrencies. Other clubs, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, are also investing in Web3.0 and the Metaverse ecosystem. We expect to see more adoption of cryptocurrencies and NFTs not only by soccer clubs but also by all their fans.

Titkok influencer Khaby lame becomes Binance’s brand ambassador

Binance adds a new signing by hiring influencer Khaby Lame, the Italian-Senegalese content creator who achieved fame for his viral videos on TikTok about life hacks. Khaby is looking to expand Web 3.0 education so he has become a global brand ambassador. The “Khaby gesture” is his signature as he became a sensation on TikTok where Khaby would critique life-hacks videos in situations that looked complicated but really weren’t, but the cool thing was that he did it without saying a word which led him to be the most followed creator on TikTok, with over 144 million followers on the platform and 78 million followers on Instagram. With the influence of Khabane “Kaby” Lame, Binance will use their new collaboration to help clear up some of the misconceptions about Web3 and work on exclusive NFT collections, further enriching the fan experience. “I consider my fans my family and am always looking for new challenges and interesting content to share with them,” said Khaby Lame. “I’ve been curious about Web3 for a while now and have embraced this opportunity to partner with a leader like Binance because it aligns perfectly with what I do: making complex things easier and more fun for everyone.” As we discussed with Binance’s signing of Cristiano Ronaldo, the exchange is leveraging public figures to bring the crypto world to people who had always wanted to take the plunge but were afraid to do so, and seeing more and more well-known people getting into this place is making people lose that fear. We hope to see more collaborations like this in the future.

Crypto Marketing. What is?

A cryptocurrency marketing strategy is something important for companies that are entering or looking to enter this crypto world to grow and prosper. This must be planned consistently, this is crucial for any type of token, ICO, NFT, or cryptocurrency can be effective, because without one are few projects that manage to reach the soft cap. But what is the most important thing to take into account about this industry? The cryptocurrency market has expanded dramatically in recent years. There are thousands of companies with their tokens or coins so if you are a new company or want the one you already have to gain traction in this super-competitive environment it is important to take into account some strategies to take advantage of with digital marketing. Before discussing these strategies, you must first consider the objective of what you are going to market, many people think that ICOs, cryptocurrencies, and NFTs have the same marketing method but the reality is that they are not the same. The strategies are as follows: Create a website (works for all 3): A site designed efficiently and that is pleasant with new users with a logical path helps a lot, besides you have to look to make clear any doubts that may exist. Newsletter (more for ICOs and cryptocurrencies but can also apply to NFTs): Always collect emails when you start encouraging your project, which is going to serve to start creating a list of subscribers to whom you can send the latest news about the project through an easy-to-read and attention-grabbing email. Networking on LinkedIn (ICO): It is a network that works perfectly to establish assignments and reach potential sponsors and influencers since its advantage is that people in this social network are more accustomed to direct messages about business. Social networks ( The 3): The importance now with common networks like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are good for anyone to get to know you, a tip here is to keep them always updated, uploading eye-catching content and creating interaction with users. Discord (mainly NFT but it can also be applied with cryptocurrencies: It is one of the most important things for projects to have a space where all the people interested in the project can live in the same space together with the creative team. Here you can offer the latest news about the project, segment the community by roles, and help to avoid scams. And so many other things that we at The Blue Manakin can help you set up Airdrops (The 3): Sending free coins or tokens help promote your project, these pitches are popular with investors and get people interested in the project. Podcasts and live interviews (All 3): Podcasts and streams are becoming more and more popular and there are many that talk about the crypto and investment world, having one is a good way to educate people about your product apart from having a high-quality reach. Verify your project (all 3): Let experts analyze your blockchain and ICOS projects and look for positioning on project rating websites. Influencers (All 3): A mutually beneficial assignment is created, where the influencer shares information and product advantage with their loyal audience, with whom they equally consent, giving you equal critique for review and analysis. But you have to keep in mind when getting an influencer that their content is relevant to the brand and what you want to communicate. It is also important to verify what type of content our influencer shares since you will not give an ICOs project to one that only talks about NFT in their channels. Telegram (ICOS and cryptocurrencies): Telegram contrary to many social networks, allows crypto ads, apart from the fact that because of its end-to-end encryption it offers better security to operators. Using it well involves creating a committed community through its groups. Get advice from a crypto marketing agency (all 3): You can look for a marketing agency in your country or prepare your marketing team with some course.

Never fear the truth

Johnny Depp makes a donation of NFT profits to a children’s hospital

The original collection gathers 11,100 Johnny Depp “Never Fear Truth” NFTs which have been handmade by the famed artist himself. The fact that has attracted many people to this collection apart from the fact that they are made by the pirate jack sparrow himself is the holder of these tokens, that can have both the “non-physical” and the “non-physical” option to purchase each painting for sale. Both of which are kept within the marketplace. However, only 10,000 NFTs are available for sale, while the other 1,100 NFTs are held in the hands of the performer. Depp’s art is portraits of his loved ones, such as close friends, people who have inspired him throughout his life, and even himself. This art is made in a Pop Art style that is full of strong and appealing colors, consonants, and triggers when it comes to expressing something. The Never Fear Truth community has grown quite a lot, they already have more than 2K owners of the art. Another attraction to this art is that it comes with a cause since the actor decided to donate 25% of the proceeds from the sale of his collection within the Rarible platform, to several specialized and recognized foundations. So currently Johnny Depp has already donated almost $800,000 dls to charities from the sale of NFT, dividing the money between: La Perth Children’s Hospital Foundation La Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity The Footprint Coalition El Children’s Hospital of Los Ángeles. It’s nice to see what NFT collections can accomplish beyond being a money-making goal. Many times the characteristics that can make a project stand out the most are the background they have and when they are made for a charitable cause thus using blockchain as the means for anyone in the world to participate and own a piece of it all.

NFT-whitelisting

What is an NFT whitelist?

More and more new NFT projects keep appearing in the market and one way to get a secured space in the mint of these is through the Whitelist. The Whitelist is a way in which both users and creators of the collection can win, as users are given the opportunity to get the NFT at a low cost while for the creators, it serves as a list to get an idea of how the sale will go, even with this first exclusive mint you can get an initial fund to start moving the project further on the roadmap. How to join a Whitelist? Here we will share some recommendations for finding and joining Whitelist projects: Get to the project before the mint date All NFT projects in their early stages will have a Whitelist with a limited amount of slots, so if we get to the project on time we can see what activities the creators are doing to give away a spot on their WL. Join the social networks and the NFT project discord Every good NFT project has social networks mainly Twitter and much more important, they must have a discord server. Many times on their networks and discord there are competitions or invitational activities where the prize is a spot on the whitelist. In these accounts is where we will find the most updated information about the collection. Follow the instructions to join an NFT whitelist Each project manages its whitelist differently so it is important to always check what are the requirements to join a whitelist. Normally in the collection’s discord server, we can find a channel usually called #Whitelist-info. The whitelist is important because they give us an opportunity to join collections for lower prices, it is a way to get even closer as a user to a project. What is important to mention is that many times by DM both in discord and Twitter we can receive messages offering us places in a whitelist or telling us that we have been selected, many times these messages can be a scam. Remember that no moderator or project founder will send you a DM.

NFT cocacola

Coca Cola to launch a Pride collection of NFTs in polygon

The world’s most popular beverage company has entered the world of NFTs by launching an “NFT Pride Collection” whose proceeds will benefit LGBTQIA+ charities. This is a collection of 136 video files featuring Coca-Cola bottles with the inscription “Love,” which will be found on the Polygon network characterized by its low rates. “The limited-edition pieces feature an exclusive version of the iconic Coke bottle with artwork by Rich Mnisi, fashion designer and leading LGBTQIA+ rights activist in South Africa” posted Open Sea the most popular marketplace for NFTs. The acquired NFT is a surprise until the last minute. On the collection’s website, there is a section marked “Mint” and after making the payment, which as of today is equivalent to USD 134 in Polygon currency, the user will know his new token. On July 4 there are already 95 tokens issued from the collection and even some of them are already for resale on Open Sea or other marketplaces. So there are another 41 tokens left that can be purchased at launch price. Today we don’t taste if we could get a guarantee that the investment we will make will be increased, but that’s not always what the market is about, since this collection supports a cause and sometimes that’s what matters, the love of art and this NFT world in which we believe in both.
