Expensive_Junk

It all started with a big bang!!! and then our planet earth gave rise to life. Starting from simplest to complex. The most complex structure nature ever produced was a human being. A restless and voyager species. Human also evolved from simplest way of life to the complex. From caves to mansions, covering himself from leaves to Dolce & Gabbana, eating herbs to sushi, and barter exchange to online transactions.

After creating masterpieces, this restless species got even more confused. What could be next? He was starving for change. And he did it.

He created the creepiest art and made it more expensive than the original art. Nowadays, we call it NFT’s.

Its sales started with Terra Nullius, the first NFT on the Ethereum blockchain with a mint date of August 7, 2015. In late 2017, total NFT sales started to boom, going from 100 sales per week to averaging around 15,000 to 50,000 sales per week. There was a second spike two years later from late 2019 to early 2020, when sales went up to 30,000 to 80,000 per week.

Now, the total value of trade for NFTs is expected to be worth around $40Bn in 2023 alone, an amount that is approaching the total value of the entire global fine art market. I would say it has become one of the most expensive junk of today that has been sold for millions of dollars.

You don’t need Leonardo nowadays. To create art, you need a computer geek and a unique idea that you can sell. Starting from most brilliant to creepiest, but it should be unique. Nobody can stop you from creating digital art; fixing its price of your own choice, and then letting the market to decide its future.

I called it Expensive Junk because while going through the NFTs, I saw an account named Expensive-Junk (https://opensea.io/Expensive_Junk). Simplest art, but with an idea, nothing is worthless in this world. It is not just selling the art, actually, it is selling the idea.

So what are you waiting for? Plunge into this emerging art. Create a masterpiece or junk. It’s up to you now.
