Hi Egor!
This time we'll discuss NFTs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-fungible_token
We'll use the CNBC article and well as 2 Guardian articles:
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/26/digital-artist-beeple-common-misunderstanding-about-nfts.html
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2021/apr/03/non-fungible-tokens-digital-art-artists
What did you think of the ted talk about NFTs? It was so positive but the weak link in the process is the initial set up of the token. How can they be sure it's the rightful owner?
NFT prices are so high! Could the price of NFTs become a bubble? Remember tulip mania?
Do you think the pandemic lockdown caused a lot more interest in the buying and selling of NFTs?
How does the initial verification of ownership of the creative property happen?
Why is there controversy about using Ethereum to pay create NFTs?
Why do you think NFTs are so appealing to investors?
Will NFTs replace copyrights and royalties?
This article says that there is a lot of theft of artists' creations. How can this be stopped?
