Are NFTs and other Web3 collectibles worth the hype?
Today, what may seem like just a .jpg image online can actually be a masterpiece worth thousands (or even millions) of dollars. It’s not hard to see why the NFT craze has swept the world over — and in this latest Zoom K11 Konversations, we look at how that came to be. We invite the founders of the original meme platform 9GAG Ray Chan and art collectible NFT platform UCOLLEX Robert Tran, to explain how virtual assets of Web1 have evolved to the now widely recognised NFTs of Web3.
Comparing this new class of virtual assets to real estate deeds, taxi licences and marriage certificates, to premium credit cards that dole out non-stop benefits, and to being able to remix new music and movies just by owning its creative rights — the two Hong Kong entrepreneurs at the epicentre of Web3’s obsession with collecting are here to tell us why Web3 can finally allow the creative world to fully bloom!
