About this episode
Beeple made one piece of digital art a day for 10 years. He had never been directly paid for this work before. In one weekend, he auctioned it off for $3.5 million. How?
The direct answer is Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on Nifty Gateway.
The general answer is that blockchains create digital scarcity. Naval explains.
