I crowdfunded a novel using crypto (and minted the chapters as NFTs)
I was recently texting back and forth with a certain startup founder turned angel investor turned crypto enthusiast named Scott Paul. He’s something of a personality in Utah’s crypto scene—not only has he successfully founded and funded four startups (and invested in countless others), but he also owns an eccentric number of wigs and has a tendency to teach crypto classes at BYU dressed like Jesus—this is kind of what he is going for.

Welcome to the NFT World
I got involved in the NFT world only two weeks ago. I had no idea of what it was before then. NFTs are still considered to be in the early stages since the first known use of the word NFT was in 2017.

The Difference Between Blockchain and Distributed Ledger
Are blockchain and distributed ledger the same in terms of technological applications? The answer is No. We live in a digital era dominated by sound bites and jargon. Even complicated technology solutions are simplified to five words or fewer in this day and age. As a result, we're seeing more crafty businesses try to cash in on the so-called crypto craze. Some are even renaming themselves with the word "blockchain" in their name.

4 Benefits of NFTs for Creators and Artists
In a previous article, I wrote about how NFTs enable the market for digital collectibles. I've also covered how people's desire to collect in the digital world can be explained by all the same emotional and cultural factors that make us collect in the physical world. Digital collectibles are arguably so similar to physical ones at a fundamental level that there's no reason why they wouldn't become an integral part of our lives in the years to come. People wanting to truly own their digital assets just makes sense.

Are Digital Collectibles Pure Speculation?
As I wrote about here, people collect all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons. Plenty of studies have been done on the emotional and cultural drivers behind our innate instinct to collect. These studies have never been done in a digital context though and for good reason. The digital collectibles market has really only existed in a few years and has only gotten some mainstream attention in the last year.
