Rare virtual stickers are bitcoiners’ newest investment

NFT figurines, like dragon unicorns, turn to fever. //Reproduction

While most people in the world don’t even know exactly what a cryptocurrency, bitcoiners are already at such an advanced level of investment in digital assets that even rare stickers are in their portfolios. The technical name is not a figurine, it is NFT, a token based on blockchain technology. Figure, therefore. Bernardo Brites is one of those investors. Partner of a venture capital fund, which only invests in startups blockchain, and a Brazilian brokerage called Trace Finance, which has already traded billions of reais in cryptocurrencies for companies, an overwhelming part of Brites’ personal wealth is in digital assets: currencies, industry companies, NFTs. Brites recently purchased packages with a total of ten thousand unicorn NFTs, which cost around $9,000. But when he opened his cards, on the computer, of course, he found a rare one. A unidragon with a golden horn. It was like finding Rivelino’s figurine to complete the 1970 World Cup album (to compare it with Pelé’s figurine, the unidragon would have to have a diamond horn). Sound crazy? The unidragon Brites found is worth $30,000. And he believes it will value more because this NFT was only broadcast in super limited edition for a week, which ended yesterday. From now on it tends to get more expensive. And it’s not just dragon unicorns these investors are after. Another success is the cryptopunks, character stickers also created by computer. Altogether ten thousand punks were made and are only available for sale in the secondary market. Brites says that one of these punks has already been traded for 7.8 million dollars.
