“Ntf:wtf?,” the upcoming documentary from BAFTA-winning filmmaker David Shulman about the world of Non-Fungible Tokens and their impact on the art market, has been acquired by Netflix for the U.K.
The feature — which features interviews with the likes of Damien Hirst — explores how NFTs changed lives, alongside the course of art and entertainment. From the worlds of CryptoPunks, Bored Ape Yacht Club and celebrity collectors, to current industry leaders and the community of collectors, the film talks exclusively to the key architects of the Nft movement. It also features its founders, including early adopters such as Snoop Dog and digital artists like Beeple (Mike Winkelmann), whose Everydays collection was bought by an Nft investor for $69 million, and Mad Dog Jones.
In the film, co-produced by Josh Berger’s Battersea Entertainment and Atomized Studios (“Real Mo Farah”), Hirst discusses his Nft project The Currency, which was launched as a series...

Otoy, a technology company specializing in cloud graphics, has added digital artist Beeple to its advisory board.
In enlisting Beeple, Otoy — which already counts director J.J. Abrams, Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt and JavaScript creator Brendan Eich as board members — hopes to pave the future of digital content, including NFTs.
Few understand the confounding world as well as Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann. He helped spark the Nft, or non-fungible token, craze after he sold a photo collage titled “Everyday: The First 5,000 Days” for $69 million at auction house Christie’s in March.
Beeple referred to his decision to join Otoy’s advisory board as “a longtime partnership made formal.” He says the company’s technology has been “integral” to his work creating NFTs and plans to use his seat to continue expanding the digital art space.
As part of the collaboration, Beeple is working with Rndr,...

New Delhi, March 22 (Ians) The auction for the very first tweet by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has fetched $2.4 million (a little over Rs 18 crore), which the billionaire would donate in Bitcoins to a charity.
The bid for 15-year-old tweet on March 6, 2006 (saying ‘just setting up my twttr') — put up for auction as an Nft (non-fungible token) on a platform called Valuables — has reportedly been won by Sina Estavi, CEO of tech company Bridge Oracle.
Dorsey had said in an earlier tweet: "Ending this March 21st. Will immediately convert proceeds to #Bitcoin. And send to @GiveDirectly Africa Response".
Nft is a digital good on the Ethereum blockchain.
According to Valuables, "What you are purchasing is a digital certificate of the tweet, unique because it has been signed and verified by the creator".
NFTs allow people to buy and sell ownership of unique digital items and keep track of who owns them using the blockchain.

Oscar-nominated documentary “Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah” is the first Academy Award nominee to be released as an Nft (non-fungible token).
The film, which examines the life and work of the “Shoah” director, was a contender in the 2016 documentary short Oscar race and aired on HBO; however, it’s never been made available for public purchase, either physically or digitally.
Enter the Nft: the latest fad in digital commerce. The tokens effectively provide a method of authenticating a piece of digital content, based on blockchain technology, allowing anyone to trace it back to the original owner. In this way, it certifies and tracks the ownership of a unique digital asset.
The market for NFTs has skyrocketed in recent weeks, as some buyers have speculated that the value of their NFTs could appreciate in value. Last week, a piece of digital artwork by Mike Winkelmann, the digital artist known as Beeple,...
