In This Bear Market, NFT Communities Still Find Reasons to Celebrate



In This Bear Market, NFT Communities Still Find Reasons to Celebrate

 Sometimes, you have to be focused on the positive things in life. Even during economic downturns, it is possible to enjoy good things still. Nice stuff.

That's at least the view offered in the work of Trevor Jones, the OG crypto artist who created the famous NFT work " Bitcoin Angel." Jones, a traditional artist passionate about the relationship between technology and art, put his name in NFT history through the work sold at $3.2 million on February 20, 2021. 

It set a record as the highest-priced open-edition NFT artwork to date. Among several, it marked the beginning of 2021's insane NFT market bull. Since then, "Bitcoin Angel" has made more than $7 million in second-party sales of Nifty Gateway.

Today, to be a part of the celebration of the NFT and pay tribute to the community that backed the idea, Jones has announced an exclusive event exclusively for "Bitcoin Angel" holders. The event will occur on the grounds of Stirling Castle in Scotland on July 30, 2022.

The past meets Web3.


The setting for the celebration is as elegant as you can get. In the middle of Scotland, Stirling Castle sits on top of sandstone rock. Through the centuries, the castle shifted between serving as a government seat as well as a royal residence being the residence of the childhood of many of Scotland's most famous historical figures, including Mary the Queen of Scots and James VI.


The event is touted to be the "most extravagant crypto celebration" and, as an additional instance of communities using NFTs based on the location that will be included, is a special edition Castle Party 2022 NFT available only to attendees of the event. More than 300 guests from over 20 nations will be attending.


The attendees will not be lacking entertainment. The event will include DJ RT and performances by the pipe band and tribal drums Clanadonia and sword-wielding warriors at Combat International, and more.


The party was announced in an announcement. Jones said, "When looking for a venue, one location was a perfect fit over other options: the stunning Stirling Castle in the heart of Scotland. It's more than just a party it is a chance to help Scotland and put it in the spotlight in the NFT world, and also through the charity we've chosen to support."


Jones and his team have joined forces together to celebrate the occasion with Maggie's Edinburgh, a charity that provides free cancer support throughout the U.K. The team will directly accept donations in ETH and fiat currencies to the cause. In addition, Trevor will be making an unrestricted donation to the charity following the event.


The crypto confessionals are fueled by whiskey.


NFT whiskey marketplace is sponsoring the event Metacask, Nova Finance, Tokenframe, Saga Cigars, and NFT consulting company and the production company Apollo Entertainment, who will offer a unique Satoshiverse mask for guests at all times.


Jones had previously collaborated in collaboration with Metacask in 2021 to create artwork for the 1995 Macallan 1 of 1 NFT called " The Angel's Share," the world's first scotch cask that has digital artwork.


The party will also offer several prizes, including printed limited-edition prints, an angel T-shirt, the Bitcoin Angel branded Saga cigar, and the possibility of winning 3 original Trevor Jones paintings, one specially designed for the event. 


The most bizarre, yet cathartic spin on the event is the possibility of the "confessional booth", which will be operated by the "crypto priest" for listening to crypto confessions of any person who wants to.


The party is extravagant with lavish food and drinks and is extravagant. This can be not easy to appreciate when members of the NFT community are experiencing the market's downturn. However, it's a great reminder that NFT enthusiasts are enjoying themselves and participating in IRL activities despite the community's challenges in the past few months.

What are Gas Fees and How Can We Fix Them?

Blockchain transactions were very affordable prior to 2020. With the rise of Web3 & NFTs, mandatory blockchain transaction charges -- also known by gas fees -- are now the greatest barrier to mainstream adoption. Network congestion is what determines the gas price for blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum. The network congestion is the reason why the gas fees are higher for more people. Web3's ethos of inclusivity and democracy means that this fundamental scaling problem largely challenges those core tenants. Although gas can seem quite simple in concept, it can be quite complicated under the hood. This explanation explains gas fees and how they work. It also explains what Ethereum and other Blockchains can do to make them cheaper. What's a gas charge?   Gas fees, as defined in our dictionary are payments made to complete transactions on a blockchain.

NFT 2.0: How Soulbound Tokens Could Change Your Life

Vitalik Buterin, best known as one of the co-founders of Ethereum, has a major new Web3 project under development. In the whitepaper called "Decentralized Society: Finding Web3's Soul," Buterin and his co-authors outline their vision of a distributed society (DeSoc) and how they can bring it into possibility. Their suggestion? We'll need to develop something known as " Soulbound Tokens " (SBTs). In the main, SBTs are not transferable identification and reputation certificates. They enable people to verify their personal information -- such as their educational background, work history, credit score, medical history, professional certificates, and more. -- by using blockchain technology. The concept is highly discordant. Some believe that SBTs are a more efficient and reliable way to verify the authenticity of the information. Some compare it with China's dictatorial social credit system . Which is the more realistic view? It isn't easy to decide. I...
