HOW DO YOU BUY CRYPTO ART?

  • Blockchain technology is also used for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Etherium, and yes, even DOGE coins. The blockchain offers a secure, digital record of transactions.
  • The blockchain acts like a “digital ledger” and serves as incorruptible proof of ownership. Using this system, artworks and their ownership can always be tracked via the blockchain.

CAN CRYPTO ART BE COPIED?

CAN CRYPTO ART BE COPIED?

You can certainly copy a digital file, including art sold with an NFT. In some cases, the owner can buy the rights to reproduction.

An NFT grants you ownership of the work, but it can be copied with permission or illegally. This is not actually that different from the reproductions we see all the time of traditional artwork. Just as the Mona Lisa has been reproduced countless times in print and digital, so too can crypto art. But only one person can own the original of any artwork.
