comes one of the most interesting uses of none-fungible tokens so
far and that is 26-year-old Polish influencer Marta Rentel

selling the love of her online persona. “Nothing on the Internet is
physical,” Rental said. “It’s part of my online persona.” The

novel idea, as one would scratch their head trying to figure out
exactly how they would tokenize emotions. But Rentel believes that
love can be separated into physical love, platonic love, and most
importantly, digital love. With each one being just as real as the
other. Rentel confirmed the sale of the NFT but added that she did
not know who had bought it either. The identity of the buyer seems
will remain unknown until the date with the influencer. NFTs As A
Store Of Value NFTs are gaining more support given what they
represent. With this, people can show that they undisputedly own a
piece of artwork or anything else being sold as a non-fungible
token. Information about the work and the owner is written directly
to the blockchain where everyone can see who the owner of the piece
is. This has been especially popular amongst artists as this
provides them a way to directly sell their art. And also helps to
combat people using their work without properly paying or licensing
it. Related Reading | Banksy’s Infamous ‘Spike’ Artwork

edit or remove. So every and all record regarding a sale is put on
the blockchain, which basically acts as a digital ledger for the
sale. Marta Rentel does not stop at selling her “love” as an NFT.
The influencer plans to continue to sell her Instagram photos and
YouTube videos as non-fungible tokens. Featured image from Kindpng
