An #NFT created by the poet Arch Hades was sold at #Nifty Gateway for $ 75,000.
This piece is from the 75-postcard collection of singer RAC and designer Andrés Reisinger.
Each postcard contains a unique minute song by #Rac, making this poem the first major poem to be sold as NFT:
"You sing a song that only I can hear / And you are the only one who can hear mine."
The poem by Hades was sold for $ 75,000 in an online auction that lasted just 45 minutes. The collection included a poem written by Arch on a postcard. Seventy-five copies were sold overall. Hades' own story is epic. Arch, a bestselling poet, regularly (almost daily) posts his work on Instagram and has a diverse collection.
However, the background described in Tatler magazine is quite unusual. For starters, Arch Hades is unsurprisingly not his real name. Born in Russia, he fled St Petersburg as a child for England after his father was killed. Initially he could not speak English. Later, he found himself "at the heart of the British upper-class society". Since then, the boarding school has turned into a successful poet after marriage and divorce at a young age. Hades also has two more NFTs on Zora, another NFT platform, each containing one sentence.
🚨NFT Enables Artists🚨
The NFT environment can greatly assist in this by opening up poetry as well as art publishing and lifestyle with the simple but objective trick of proving the originality of the artwork. The RAC uses the following statements on the subject:
“For the first time in my career, I am completely independent. This has been 10+ years in the making. I will be publishing music through my own record label, Minerva, and publishing it through Minerva Publishing. "
