NFTs means "Non fungible token", or "unique pieces", non fungible. So Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter, auctioned his first tweet, dated March 21, 2006, in which he wrote "just setting up my twttr" on the Valuables by cent site. The highest offer, from another tech manager, was $ 2.5 million (you tend to pay in cryptocurrencies). But in exchange for what? To become the master of the tweet, with a transaction irrevocably recorded on the blockchain (the large electronic register that is also the basis of bitcoin), with an encrypted digital certificate, and then in fact transform those five little words into a single piece. Once you have mastered it, you can decide, as if it were a work of art, to exhibit it, resell it, do whatever you want with it.
Our guest is Andrea Varriale NFTs & Blockchain Strategy Consultant and Founder & Mentor in Startup Grind Italy and mentor of several Sg Chapters in Europe.
Adept, meticulous, and highly ambitious; these adjectives describe the NFT-guru Andrea Varriale in the most thorough way possible.
Hailing from a small town in Southern Italy, he has spent the last 10 years building and expanding multiple businesses in the tech sector all over the globe from Australia to the States.
Andrea is a well-known and trusted advisor, mentor, and investor in the blockchain technology and NFT industry. At heart, Andrea is spiritually grounded and believes that adding value to other people’s lives is the value he adds to his own life. He wants to inspire the talent of the world in the exact same way his first book inspired him and shaped him into the person he is today.
Outside of work, Andrea is a bibliophile, coffee connoisseur, and a family man who loves to travel.
