NFTs can transcend simply collecting.
There are stories to be formed and shared.
My daughter kept having nightmares of ghosts. She has a vivid imagination and was scared by something she watched while at her nanas house.
I happen to be a fond collector and supporter of
@deadpixels_club so I decided to try something…let’s get her a cute, cuddly ghost to see if can quell her fears. I narrowed down a search for her and she picked this one down below.
She fell in love instantly. Her fear of ghosts turned into an admiration of “her ghost.” She asked me to send it to her tablet so she can see it whenever she wants. I decided to get her some merch and it came in last night. Seeing her reaction warmed my heart. She slept in it and asked to wear it to school today. Of course, I obliged.
Point is that some see NFTs, and collectibles in general, as a waste of time and money. “They’re just a picture”, “they have no value”, “they don’t do anything”, so on and so forth. Yes, there are tons of rugs and bad actors out there but such is life.
This particular project has helped my 5 year old daughter get over her fear of something that was tormenting her mind. That’s value that can’t be measured monetarily. It’s tangible! It’s real! Digital art and collectibles are here to stay!
