CryptoPunks Selfie

Can virtual things make money? Until I understand the Internet and NFTs, I would answer in the affirmative that no one wants to spend a dime on something virtual. For me, NFTs exist in the digital world. As posthuman, we also survive in the digital world. NFT is designed to be something that cannot be copied (Clark, 2021). The uniqueness of NFTs makes them valuable and easy to circulate in the online marketplace. Just like every person in the real world, we all have different characteristics. Therefore, making the CryptoPunks selfie unique is one most important things. Every CryptoPunks figure is impressive, and people cannot find two similar characters. I was shocked by the CryptoPunks price. Human potential is unlimited, just as we could not imagine at first that NFTs could yield such high returns. The most popular CryptoPunks sold for a whopping $7.57 million. The high price of the transaction is baffling. Some investors regard NFTs as a tool to make their currency diverse, and others view NFTs as a game (Leech, 2021). The Internet brings us and NFT opportunities and profits. Ultimately, the Internet is an essential medium for the rapid fermentation of NFTs. Viewers learn about the diversity of the world and enjoy art in an easy and fast way. NFT helps people relax and also helps people make money. It is something that allows people to enjoy art and make money without having to leave home.

All CryptoPunks' figures are different, and they look like a community when they are put together. NFTs are attractive and valuable for posthuman because it is not only a "jpeg"; it is a community (Nunes). Each CryptoPunks character has its feature and composed a vivid community. People can find pictures that match their characteristics, so collectors are willing to pay a vast amount of cryptocurrency to become the official owners of these CryptoPunks characters （Buskirk, 2021）. The CryptoPunk selfie I created is based on my appearance. My idea originally comes from number 8-#6487. It looks gender-neutral, but she is a female. This is what the Internet teaches me first- don't judge a person from the surface. Based on this original picture, I added dark brown hair and changed the face. I have black hair and black eyes, but some influencers often influence me to dye my hair differently. Therefore, I make the hair brown and add different squares to show how the Internet affects my aesthetics. Also, these squares on my hair are a way to show I have a passion for many kinds of things. As a netizen, the essential ability to survive through the Internet is acceptability. We learn so much new knowledge through the Internet, like NFTs generate significant revenues. The heart on my face represents the fact that I still maintain my love and originality for the Internet and visual arts. I have changed the shape of my mouth and added some bars. It is essential to be careful about what we say on the Internet. Some careless words may hurt others and bring some adverse effects to ourselves. Therefore, these bars are my reminder that my mouth can be used to communicate or hurt. I need to control what I publish online and my mouth to avoid hurting others.
