M.I.A. to Sell Digital Artwork as NFT
Over the past few months, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) have taken off as a popular way for rich artists to get even richer and for everyday people to label themselves art connoisseurs. Everyone from Elon Musk to that viral Fleetwood Mac skateboarder have made hundreds of thousands by selling NFTs lately, and now M.I.A. wants to join in on the fun. As we’ve previously reported, NFTs are one-of-a-kind artworks that exist on a cryptocurrency blockchain. While exact replicas of an NFT may be widely distributed on the internet, the NFT itself is a limited edition virtual property that can be bought, held, or sold. For example, Kings of Leon released NFT packages that featured their new album When You See Yourself a few weeks ago. While anyone can listen to the record for free online, only select ...

So, let us not forget to reset, restore, and rebuild. SPOILERS AHEAD. Then we quickly cut to Munich where Faux Cap, Battle-token, and some GRC troops are infiltrating one of Karli’s safehouses. The occupants are clearly not thrilled with the raid and refuse to speak English to Walker when questioned. He calls for Battle-toad, his swiss army sidekick to translate, even though Steve Rogers never needed a translator. Not satisfied with the answers, Faux Cap angrily screams in disbelief at the suspect who retorts by spitting i...
