Poetry As NFT

NFT Poetry — Is now the start of a new era for poems? NFTs are Non-Fungible Tokens that are unique in the blockchain world, meaning that ownership of a single digital art piece on the blockchain (NFT) is retained by one user, as opposed to copies of the same art piece. This form of tokenisation has spread from a few pixels to fields such as digital art, gaming, and photography. ........

NFT writing seems to be at its conception.

........ NFT writing does seem to be knocking on the door, and the current feeling is when, not if, will the cyber world open it.


OpenSea

How to Create NFT Poetry and Art It costs money (technically Ethereum) in order to list your NFTs for sale. Smart contracts (the brilliant medium of exchange for NFTs) cost money. Yes, it’s frustrating to pay in order to sell something as it smacks of a MLM type scheme—but in this case we are getting to list as many NFTs as we want in a searchable, easy to use interface. Plus, it means we don’t have to learn code in order to sell our art! .........

The good news is that I found a way to list all the NFTs I ever want to create for around $100.

......... In case you’re brand new to the crypoverse, a wallet is just what it sounds like—a digital version of the one you carry around in your pocket or purse.




This NFT project is literally putting poetry on the blockchain So far, the project has released two collections of poetry NFTs.

Turning my latest poem into a non-fungible token (NFT) on the blockchain I have just launched one of my latest poems as a NFT. This is also art, although in written form, so I decided to mint it as an NFT among my other visual artworks. ........

I mean if you can mint a Tweet as an NFT – something with zero literary or artistic value – and sell it for a fortune on top of that

– then I can certainly tokenize my original written poem, which has artistic merit in its own right. ........ I don’t expect it to sell really. You could simply copy the poem anyway so who would want to buy it? .......

I’m nobody important so I can’t expect my poem to sell like a random Tweet by someone famous.

........ In future I might even be able to put my poem to music and make a song out of it, which can also be tokenized as an NFT.
