NFTs Kaleido series


Collectable NFT: Mini Kaleido series using Noum Artworks as material by Hiroshi Mehata.

It's not just to collect and enjoy their rich colors and shapes, but this piece also comes with an extra effect to keep looking at the center point to create an optical illusion. (It is difficult to feel this in the mini window preview, so I recommend going to the individual pages.)


Look at the center of the image for 10 seconds. After that, even if the video stops moving, the illusion that the screen is distorted and moving occurs.


What are NFTs?


NFTs, or Non-Fungible Tokens, are unique digital assets that represent ownership of a specific item or piece of content, such as artwork, music, videos, or even tweets. They are created using blockchain technology, which is a decentralized and secure digital ledger that records transactions.

Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which are fungible and interchangeable, NFTs are unique and cannot be replicated. Each NFT has a unique digital signature that verifies its authenticity, ownership, and provenance. This makes NFTs valuable as collectibles or as a means of verifying ownership of digital assets.

NFTs have gained popularity in recent years as a way for artists, musicians, and creators to monetize their digital content and protect their intellectual property rights. They are often sold at online marketplaces such as OpenSea or Nifty Gateway, with prices ranging from a few dollars to millions of dollars, depending on the perceived value of the asset.


How is ETH used to buy NFTs?


ETH (Ethereum) is a cryptocurrency that is often used to buy NFTs because most NFTs are built on the Ethereum blockchain. When you buy an NFT using ETH, you are essentially transferring ownership of the digital asset from the seller to the buyer on the Ethereum blockchain.

Here's how it works:

  1. First, you need to create an Ethereum wallet and fund it with ETH. There are several options for wallets, including MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and Coinbase Wallet.
  2. Next, you can browse NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea, SuperRare, or Rarible to find the NFT that you want to buy. Each NFT will have a unique digital signature that verifies its ownership and authenticity.
  3. When you find an NFT that you want to buy, you will need to place a bid or make an offer using ETH. The seller can accept or reject your offer, or you can negotiate the price until you reach an agreement.
  4. If your offer is accepted, the ETH will be transferred from your wallet to the seller's wallet, and ownership of the NFT will be transferred to you on the Ethereum blockchain.
  5. You can then keep the NFT in your wallet, display it on a virtual gallery, or sell it to another buyer using ETH or another cryptocurrency.

It's important to note that buying NFTs can be a speculative investment, and the value of NFTs can be volatile and unpredictable. It's essential to do your research and only invest what you can afford to lose.

Why should you buy NFTs?



The decision to buy NFTs is a personal one, and it ultimately depends on your interests and goals. Here are a few reasons why some people may choose to buy NFTs:

  1. Collectibles: NFTs are unique digital assets that can be rare and one-of-a-kind. Some people buy NFTs as collectibles or to show off their ownership of a particular item or piece of content.
  2. Investment: Some people see NFTs as a potential investment opportunity. As with any investment, the value of NFTs can rise or fall over time, depending on factors such as demand, scarcity, and perceived value.
  3. Support creators: When you buy an NFT from a creator, you are supporting their work and helping them to monetize their content. This can be particularly appealing for artists, musicians, and other creators who may have struggled to make a living from their work in the traditional art world.
  4. Community: NFTs are often sold through online marketplaces and can be a way to connect with a community of like-minded individuals who share an interest in a particular artist, game, or other digital content.

It's important to remember that buying NFTs can be a speculative investment, and there is no guarantee of a return on investment. Additionally, as with any investment, it's essential to do your research, understand the risks involved, and only invest what you can afford to lose.
