create cryptocurrency and tokens (digital representations of physical/non-physical assets/structures). Popular blockchains include the Bitcoin Blockchain, Ethereum Network, Binance Smart Chain (BSC). Cryptocurrency in simple terms refers to the monetary use of tokens made within a blockchain network. Popular examples of cryptocurrency include Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin (BTC). A token represents programmable digital assets managed by a smart contract within a blockchain network. Non-fungible Token (NFT) refers to a token that represents a unique, non-duplicative version of a particular asset (picture, song, property deed) as well as the proof of ownership of that asset. Bitcoin refers to the cryptocurrency mined and managed by the Bitcoin Network Blockchain - a collection of miners that run the Bitcoin Core network software. Each miner (computer) uses processing power in solving an increasingly complex puzzle. In turn, miners receive rewards (Bitcoins) for completing these puzzles and processing transactions (transfers) on the network. Fun fact: $100 worth of Bitcoin in 2008 would be worth approximately $48M today. Tokenization: The process of creating digital representations of physical and non-physical assets on a blockchain network. Tokens represent property and can be traded between buyers and sellers.

DeFi represents the latest iteration in a global experiment to create an open-source, transparent decentralized financial ecosystem. As open-system democratizing access and ownership, DeFi presents us with the opportunity to participate in economic frameworks that were once reserved for the upper echelon of society. In the case of the art market, this means, there are now near zero barriers of entry into showcasing art on a global level. Moreover, artists can now exert sovereignty over their creations without the need for a middleman (art galleries, agencies, etc).

digital representations of real-world/virtual assets that are unique and non- exchangeable. These tokens are popularly represented as ERC-721 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. No two NFTs are ever the same, and each has its own characteristics, qualities, and properties.
