A Polish influencer made R3.6 million after becoming the first person to sell her love to her NFT (non-fungible token) online.
Martarenter, who passed by Instagram processing @martirenti, On July 13 sold the “digital love” assets to an unknown buyer. After the transaction is completed, she will have dinner with her.
Business Insider previously described NFTs as “digital assets stored on blockchain technology-the same technology makes possible cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.”
The report added: “The idea behind storing information on the blockchain is that it is almost impossible to edit or delete it. This means that when you purchase an NFT, your purchase record will always be on the digital ledger. ”
Rentel said she wants to make sure that people can distinguish the person “Marta Rentel” from the online character “Marti Renti”, who is the love she sells.
“Nothing on the Internet is physical, it is part of my online role,” she said.
According to her websiteThis philosophy extends to her broader work as an influencer. It says: “My name is Marti Renti. Although this is not my’real’ name, but a digital version of it, from a parallel world, the Internet is my stage.”
Rentel, who has 654,000 Instagram followers, said that she began to mark emotions to achieve the goal of “unique”. She also decided to sell other NFTs through her website, such as exclusive ownership of her Instagram photos and YouTube videos.
She told Insider that the idea was inspired by Italian artist Salvatore Garau, who sold an invisible sculpture called “Io sono” (meaning “I am”) in May for R261,000. According to Artnet.com.
Rentell said that betraying her love is not just an unusual way to make money or to consolidate her position in the history books, she thinks it shows other women their autonomy.
“For me, selling digital love is a power for women because we can love without compromising freedom and individuality,” she said.
“Digital love is transactional, but so is marrying a rich and powerful man, right?” she added.
Renter also said that she is looking for a suitable charity to donate part of the money she earned.
Looking to the future, Rentel hopes to see more influential people draw inspiration from her and provide ideas through the online followers they provide.
Due to the nature of the encryption trend, Rentel stated that she has been informed of the transaction, but the identity of the buyer will remain anonymous during the pending period.
When asked if she thinks true love can be developed from digital transactions, Luntell said that this mysterious buyer is likely to be “a very wealthy woman or child.”
Despite this, Rentel maintained a positive attitude on her website, writing: “If I succeeded in creating my digital love and found my second half, then why shouldn’t other feelings and emotions follow?”
