Blockchain: The Technology Revolutionizing Mobile App Security

NFT's... Do you research
If you want to buy an NFT, or are selling one, do your research so you can be informed on exactly what you’re getting. TLDR: You might just be buying or selling a digital address that points to whatever digital item you actually purchased. And that digital item might just be stored on a regular old web server. It could be better to just get the digital file itself and keep it on a flash drive, or in your own digital vault without having to pay gas fees.

The Intersection of Politics, Community, and NFTs
If the medium is indeed the message as Marshall McLuhan opined, then the message has been decentralized and there's no looking back. After decades of deteriorating trust in the Establishment resulted in a failed reality television personality capturing the nomination of the Republican party and eventually the White House, it has become clear that a significant portion of the country has little to no interest in the continuation of the status quo of centralized power.

Comic Heroes and the Art World
Mike Thompson Mike has been a crayoner all his life; it might even be said he was born with a crayon in his hand. As a self-confessed introvert, Mike played sports in school but came into his own when he had a sketchbook in front of him. He remembers his father bringing home comic books as a reward when he was a child and he would immediately go and begin crayoning in them. However, fast forward to college where he studied graphic design, and also worked at a local agency during the holidays designing flyers, and he knew for sure that corporate graphic design was not the career for him.

Blockchain
Blockchain is a public ledger. A ledger in accounting terms means you record all your transactions there. In a blockchain, transactions are stored in blocks, and those blocks relate to a link to its previous block. As new transaction happens, blocks grow, and hence the chain grows.

Beeple & NFTs: what is going on in the art market?
In the week of the one-year anniversary of the pandemic, history was made again. This time, in the art market with a new ground-breaking auction record. On 11th of March 2021, the first ever auction sale of an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) took place at Christie’s auction house. The work in question Everydays: The First 5000 Days is by an artist Mike Winkelmann, better known as Beeple in the digital art world. The work is a collage of 5000 individual artworks which Beeple has been releasing daily since 2007 (he hadn’t missed a day since he set out to achieve the goal of 5000 works). The auction was open for two weeks on Christie’s website and the bids started at $100; however, they escalated to $15 million by the morning of the closing day, skyrocketing to $40 million in the last 15 minutes of the auction. After almost crashing Christie’s website, the work hammered at $60.25 million (adding the fees to that made the final price $69.3 million). This has made Beeple the third most expensive living artist sold at auction, following Jeff Koons ($91m) and David Hockney ($90m). So, why is this particular sale important for art history and what does it mean for the art market?

A start-up gist to Ethereum DApps, its features, and the types to build one for your start-up!
Our world is now digitalized and we have the freedom of working from home and getting things delivered to home. All thanks to the efforts made by technologists to tackle even the pandemic crises seamlessly from the comfort of home. The complete digitalization and quick process made us transact money from home with mobile taps and the data is shared across the globe within milliseconds. It would be bliss if the fintech world is equipped with a very minimal workforce and low transaction costs. The same goes with other industries and it would be much more encrypted if the user authenticates and revokes the access to their information for the third-parties with certain permissions.
