WTF is an NFT?
WHY THIS PROJECT, AND WHY NOW?
Sales of digital art via NFTs are exploding right now, and it's simultaneously a new model for the art world--raising questions about the environment, our relationship to gatekeepers, resale rights and more, and new terrain in the area of money itself.
This feels like rich territory to explore and to shed light on the issues to the Sunlight Tax Community. Also it’s complicated and confusing, and we can help.
WHO’S INVOLVED?
Hannah Cole: artist, tax expert/educator and Founder of Sunlight Tax.
Aubrey Holland: programmer, woodworker, wearer of dad-hats, Hannah's partner.
You: Your questions will shape this project, and you might get to own one of the NFTs we create.
SOME BASIC INFO: WHAT IS AN NFT?
