NFT выставлены на продажу на маркетплейсе Rarible.
In conversation with Decrypt the comedian explained that he chose a platform suitable for people with no experience working with digital assets. He noted that Rarible willingly agreed to collaborate.
Harvey added that he is investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to him, he chose these assets after careful study.
Non-fungible tokens are gaining increasing popularity. Major players like Sotheby’s have already entered the market. In June 2021 the auction house will put up for auction one of the oldest NFTs — Quantum by artist Kevin McCoy.
The auction will also feature works by other digital artists. One of them will be chosen by the Twitter community.
‘Natively Digital: A Curated NFT Sale’ features a selection of extraordinary digital artworks. Community is vital to the growth of the NFT space, so we are opening up the 28th auction lot to an NFT artist of the community’s choice.
