The age-old tradition of chocolates and flowers for Valentine’s Day is being challenged as crypto investors opt for a digital declaration of love that will last a lifetime.
In Vienna, the Belvedere Museum - in partnership with the NFT investment fund artèQ, announced the NFT launch of the infamous Gustav Klimt’s romantic masterpiece, The Kiss. The art piece will be divided up into an 100 x 100 grid to make up 10,000 exclusive “kisses” that will sell as NFTs. Interested parties are given the chance to grab one of the 10,000 NFTs available to dedicate to a loved one on the official site where the official NFT will drop on Valentine’s Day itself.
So why would one want to gift a NFT? As the digital age of art moves into the crypto space so does the act of gift giving. Here are 4 reasons for why you might want to send a NFT to a loved one this year:
NFTs Stand the Test of Time
Give the Gift of Exclusivity
Support Digital Creators
Save on Time & Money
1. NFTs Stand the Test of Time
Gifting someone a NFT means that you’re not only giving someone the “thought” behind it but also the “value” of the token itself. These will remain forever in the wallet of the person who owns it and you won’t have to worry about it withering or melting away.
2. Give the Gift of Exclusivity
A NFT is unique once minted and the appeal from owning the original copy is a great way to show a loved one how much they mean to you. You can collect them in the hopes that their value will increase over time!
3. Support Digital Creators
The beauty of NFTs is that they unite innovation and technology with art - offering digital creators a channel to thrive. Gifting NFTs to friends and families not only helps to share the work of artists’ but also encourages them to join in on the fun and try it out themselves.
4. Save on Time & Money
Compared to fungible tokens, NFTs help to streamline processes, eliminate middlemen and offer better security. With just a few clicks, you can skip out on the hassle of spending time and money on transferring an asset to someone else, instead you can do it all yourself easily!
