Damien Hirst, The Currency, NFT, by Terry Fuckwitt on Jul 14, 2021 15:23:08 GMT 1, Complete technophobe here, but a Hirst fan. Assuming your application is approved (thinking big if) do you need to have some sort of NFT account in place already to make this all work? Or is it just a case of making a card payment to Heni and then following steps which I assume they will provide? Whole parallel and Unknown universe to me😩😩
'Although you don’t need to have a MetaMask wallet to apply for The Currency, you will need to connect a wallet before payment is taken so that we know where to send the NFT. We advise setting up your wallet as soon as possible. To learn how to set up your MetaMask wallet, please click here.'

10,000 ebay listings with the title "UNIQUE signed original DAMIEN HIRST"

Damien Hirst, The Currency, NFT, by Richy Rich on Jul 14, 2021 15:29:15 GMT 1, I'm also being left far behind with all this nft jargon. So I understand that the nft will have to be sent to a wallet of some description (Metamask) but will we still be able to pay for it the old fashioned way? Or will it have to be paid for in crypto?

Does any of you know how to either become an nft power user or defi native user in order to boost chances?

Damien Hirst, The Currency, NFT, by nobokov on Jul 14, 2021 15:41:46 GMT 1, Does anyone actually like the painting image or are they keeping it because it's an "original Hirst?"
I suppose the art really isn't about the image in this experiment. The performance art is to test greed, psychology, the followers mentality, physical vs intangible and all that. Will there be such a demand for the NFT that the value of the crypto will be higher than the actual physical object that allegedly has value because it's original art, or will there be more demand for the object? It's an interesting experiment and you all are apparently the wealthy research participants.
Even the posts in this forum will be part of the experiment and be an interesting read someday.

Damien Hirst, The Currency, NFT, by Deleted on Jul 14, 2021 15:41:53 GMT 1, This is pretty cool. Very well thought through with all the little details and a few elements to get my head around over the next week.
I think if you register you will be in with a good chance of getting one. The NFT element will scare a lot of people off. HENI have the power to scale back the number of NFT's you selected too if picked.
7481 H9 prints was sold to approx 4000 customers as a comparison.
Assuming the $2000 will have VAT for UK...

Yes this is an original.... i never said it wasn't but it's more like a very nice print to me than a real Hirst original. especially 10,000 of them that look very similar. Even the titles aren't written by him. His signature is it. But yes... it's a "original" You just described every Hirst "original". The dude is a hack that found success.

This project proves that he's an intelligent performance artist who understands market psychology, is curious about ideas and is trying to understand and demonstrate more. It's really fascinating. The paintings themselves are mostly shit, but the ideas are something to think about. |

Damien Hirst, The Currency, NFT, by cnrdvln on Jul 14, 2021 15:52:54 GMT 1, no point in opening a wallet now to become a power user, see last sentence
We try to ensure that everyone has a chance to purchase an NFT, which means there is an open application that lasts one week. Every application will be reviewed and assigned to an appropriate bucket. Each bucket has a set amount of works to be distributed among the successful applicants.
The buckets include NFT Power Users, DeFi users, HENI customers, general users, partners and team members and Damien himself who will be keeping 1,000 NFTs. He will hold the NFTs (and the corresponding artworks if any of the NFTs are exchanged) for five years except for a small number he might auction off for philanthropic or charitable purposes.
There are approximately 1,000 - 2,000 NFTs within each bucket.
We will use a snapshot taken 24 hours before launch to determine whether you qualify as NFT Power User or DeFi Native User.

Correct (can be paid by card or crypto) and NFT will be sent to your MetaMask.

Have you already applied ? You'll be logged into your account if so, hence the 'check status' button. Looks like 1 application per account atm.

The faq articles refer to the buyer being responsible for shipping costs and import duties etc on redemption so it doesn’t look like the original stays in the vault

is that the whole point - by producing the NFT but then having the option to actually swap for something real he is questioning the entire longevity of NFT against something physical

That's what I understood from that interview video. You either get to keep the original and the NFT is "destroyed" or you getto keep the NFT and the original is destroyed(publicly in about one year)

Interesting concept, but you have to be a nerd not an art fan to choose an NFT over the painting? Owning a work of art vs owning the provenance of a work of art that once existed. No brainer, right?
