NFT Story Collection on ILLUMINATION Integrated Publications

Discovering Non-Fungible Tokens from storytellers of my publications.

I don’t want you to miss NFT opportunities as many of us missed the cryptocurrency ones recently. This is just a start to a new journey.

Introduction

When I was writing about the Internet in the early 90s, some of my readers characterized my approach as living in a “la-la land”. The Internet was a compelling idea with no practical capability in those days. But as a technology academic, I was feeling the power of the Internet deep inside me.

I created my first training course, titled Internet for Business, in an entrepreneurship training center with a compelling vision. The first group of attendees who believed in my vision made millions of dollars in business. As the creator and educator of the course, I ended up with a few thousand dollars consisting of course fees and royalties.

There was a problem with this approach. I had a vision and shared it with others, but I did not act upon it as an entrepreneur. So that was a hard-learned lesson for me.

Now, after over two decades, I think and feel the same about NFT as I thought and felt about the Internet in those days. It is like a Deja Vu to me.

Some of my readers tell me that NFT is an excellent concept, but it does not look feasible in reality. The Internet was precisely like that in those days. We didn’t have the proper infrastructure for it. Technology was emerging but was far from bringing millions of people to use it practically as we do now.

NFT is in a better position.

Learning through storytelling

Different styles of writing may appeal to different people.

One of the best ways of learning is gained from reading stories. Each person’s story is different, reflecting different points of view. Storytelling is widely used in cognitive science for sense-making.

Artists love NFTs, but it confuses them a lot, as mentioned in this story.

My aim is to add clarity and replace confusion with illumination.

I have been interested in and researching the concept of NFTs since their inception in 2017. The idea, notion, and mechanism looked compelling to me.

Noticeable progress was made in 2020. We heard that some artwork was sold for millions of dollars. Even a simple tweet (the first tweet by Jack Dorsey) was sold for 2.9 million dollars.

Perhaps the pandemic contributed to the growth NFT market. It is now close to the 350 million dollar market.

I posted a few articles on several platforms. There is considerable interest by readers. Some of my readers ask me to pave the way and add clarity to this confusing technology construct. I am happy to do that.

I have decided to collect NFT stories submitted to my six publications. So I did a quick search of my pubs. I aim to compile articles that I found in a story.

Wearing my educative and entrepreneurial hats, I want to create a unique collection to start the thought process leading to actions.

I am studying NFTs as a technologist and an entrepreneur. My goal is to contribute to the prospective NFT body of knowledge. I also want to share my progress and learn from the research with a broader audience.

There is always a risk for any concept to reach a production state. As an optimist, I believe that NFTs will hit the mainstream in a few years. However, my pessimistic side thinks that it may also burst like the dot.com movement.

We never know. However, from my preliminary research, my gut feeling indicates that the NFT market will be significant considering the global interest.

We are in a much better position right now compared to our place during the dot.com craze. Two critical enablers are the lessons we learned from that craze and the emerging technology like Blockchain, which has already demonstrated its power with the rise of bitcoin.

Many of us missed the opportunity of bitcoin, but there is hope the NFT market will be as big and robust as the cryptocurrency market is.

I will make this a reference article for easy access to NFT-related stories.
