It's Time For A Michael Jackson Fan Token

Michael Jackson was a pioneer. An innovator. He changed what music was with his first solo album Off the Wall. He also changed the whole landscape of music videos with Thriller. His live shows are to be emulated in many aspects innovativeness being key. They still offer more excitement than what the best entertainers are putting out today 1, 2 to 3 decades after they were done. Even the scenes to the preparations of his ill-fated comeback shows are more exciting than what the best performer did in 2021. One can only imagine what he would do with what the latest technology can offer today!

Michael Jackson also loved technology. He loved gadgets and as a wealthy person, he would most certainly afford the new ones as they came. He could even receive them as gifts. I remember reading someplace that he got the very first iPhones as gifts.

He loved revolutionary ideas and shaking up things. It is with these assertions that I strongly believe that Michael Jackson would have fully embraced cryptocurrencies and the entire cryptoverse.

I actually cannot imagine the cryptoverse without Michael Jackson! It’s just the kind of idea that would totally fascinate his curious and innovative self. Imagine a Michael Jackson metaverse. Imagine experiencing a Thriller or Remember the Time digital world!

Many pictures of him are iconic. Imagine how much the Thriller image of him would be valued at as an NFT! Or the Off the Wall album cover? He would have loved the concept of NFTs. His popcorn scene from the Thriller short film is one of the most recognisable and situation-appropriate memes that exist. As a businessman involved in various dealings from all over the world some that involved people attempting to defraud and double-cross him, he would have fully embraced smart contracting I feel.

To fully capture the innovative spirit of Michael Jackson, I strongly feel that a crypto fan token is an appropriate direction for the whole Michael Jackson universe.
