is in the grip of a revolution which is changing not only how it's bought and sold, but also ideas about the kind of art and artists we value. non fungible tokens — or nfts — are apparently bringing about this market change — giving all creative content producers a new platform to profit from their work, as well as greater digital protection. sophie long has been to seattle, where the first nft museum has just opened. my dad didn't believe it at first. he was kind of like, "this has to be, like, fake money. are people really paying this much?" you know? once a bit of it hit the bank, he was like, "whoa! it's like, "this is real". jayden stitt made his first piece of digital art on a whim less than a year ago, when he was just 15. after the first sale, a lot of collectors started reaching out to me. and so within that first sale, they saw that work that i had already up and they're like, "hey, would you mint this for me? "minting" basically means publishing your work so people can buy it.
