Key takeaways
When a Digital Artwork Sold for More Than a Picasso
Picture a JPEG file selling for $69 million at Christie's - the same price as a Monet or Picasso. Yet this wasn't paint on canvas; it was pixels on a screen. When Beeple's digital collage sold in March 2021, it didn't just break records - it shattered our assumptions about what can be owned, collected, and valued. Suddenly, celebrities like Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg were spending millions on digital collectibles, and major auction houses were scrambling to understand blockchain technology. But beneath the hype lies something more profound: NFTs solve problems that have plagued art and collectibles for centuries. They're not just about owning a fancy digital file - they're about reimagining ownership itself in an age where everything from our photos to our friendships exists in digital form. This isn't a passing fad; it's the early tremor of a seismic shift in how we define value.
