2021 is coming to an end, and a new year is coming. If you have ever considered giving your loved one an unconventional, very stylish and memorable Christmas gift, NFT artwork may be a good choice. If you decide to buy now, it will definitely be delivered before the holidays.

NFT Art: The New Gold for Generation Z Investors and Art Lovers

Whether NFT art is suitable for Gen Z is still controversial, but we see that more and more Gen Z NFT art creators around the world are rapidly adopting new technologies, and even faster to monetize their works of art through the blockchain. This even before many millennial institutional investors understand what NFT is and why it is important to invest in Metaverse.

NFT art is first and foremost-art. If you see the expression of the creator’s mind and find beauty in a piece of work, then it has aesthetic value for your personal collection. Unlike the traditional art you usually see in galleries, museums, auction houses or their websites, NFT art is more accessible and easier to trade on Web 3.0 (Web3).

If you are an art lover and are considering investing in the future of Metaverse, then NFT is definitely a good choice for your personal investment and art collection. This also makes them a very unique and timely gift for Christmas 2021: with this investment option, impress your existing NFT hobby friends and introduce the people you care about to the Metaverse world.

Yuanjie Future Lottery

In the “good old days”, when people choose gifts for their loved ones to celebrate important holidays or anniversaries, they think that the real value is precious jewelry, luxury watches, or simply diamonds and gold. When the fiat currency world is so unstable, whether these traditional investments that gift expensive and rare items still have great value is a big question. So why not consider another gift, which may have a higher value in the future, meta-universe-oriented world: NFT.

Of course, a piece of NFT jewelry or a luxury watch in the Metaverse game may not be worth a lot of money (depending on the popularity of the game and assets), but it is a lottery ticket that can give you a door to the future of Metaverse. NFT investment can be very diversified in Metaverse, and so can gift selection.

If you are very rich, you might consider giving away a piece of land to your loved ones in Decentraland or The Sandbox. If you really like MMORPG games, you may want to buy a unique NFT hero for your friends from this game. If your loved ones are not interested in Metaverse games or the general Metaverse experience, then artistic and expressive NFT artwork will do.

Needless to say, those who understand the potential of NFTs and entered Cryptopunks early on are very happy now. People might despise this highly pixelated profile picture (think Cryptopunks here), it looks very basic, an average five-year-old might do it, and call the whole thing a scam. But many people firmly believe that this is just the embryonic stage of NFT and meta-universe, and the arrival of a whole new world. If this world only has a 10% chance of appearing, I don’t mind spending a few hundred dollars (or even less) on the newly released NFT artwork, which shows great potential for survival and prosperity. Remember the faded old baseball card that your grandfather left in the bottom drawer? These “stupid” artworks may soar in value like that kid’s Mickey Mantle card.

NFT is an ingenious way to invite family and friends to join the Crypto Metaverse

Your loved ones have probably heard the terms blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFT, and Metaverse.It’s also possible that they don’t really understand what these are or how they are Work. Therefore, buying NFT gifts for them this Christmas may be a good way to introduce them from the beginning and help them accept the decentralized crypto metafest.

First, in order for them to receive gifts, you need to instruct them on how to download and install NFT-enabled wallet applications on their phones, and explain how the wallet works. In principle, this is no different from helping them open a cryptocurrency wallet and sending them some coins. However, giving someone a piece of digital art would be considered more suitable as a holiday gift than a “homework” for someone who wants to teach you their favorite financial skills.

After setting up a wallet for them, they will be able to receive your NFT Christmas gift. If it is an NFT asset that can be used in the game, such as the land from The Sandbox, the cool avatar in Decentraland, or the three Axie characters from Axie Infinity, so much the better. Now, you can also help them create a Metaverse game account and let them use your talented NFT assets to experience the game.

However, it is very important to emphasize the value of these assets in the metaverse and our reality to ensure that they do not accidentally “spend” them or exchange them for assets that will quickly depreciate.

In addition to Cryptopunks and Bored Ape Yacht Club, there are other good ones

Now you are ready to open your encrypted wallet and buy a selection of Christmas gifts for your loved ones. If you are shocked by the value of NFTS today compared to a few days or months ago, don’t worry. Not everyone can afford Cryptopunks or BAYC. Unless you are a big whale, we have already missed that train. But it is not too late to start. There are many other options you can consider.

The main NFT art markets are OpenSea, Rarible and Rarity. There are new and more affordable markets where people can buy and trade NFT assets almost every day. Browse these markets to find prices that suit your eyes, those you love, and crypto wallets that suit you. Maybe next Christmas, your NFT gift investment this year will give your family a two-week luxury trip to European ski resorts. All-inclusive.
