Reuben Wu is relatively new to NFTs. He became aware of them in December last year and released his first NFT in March this year. His Genesis artwork sold for 30 Ethereum (approx. US$81,000) in mid-March. “I’m drawn to big ideas, especially big ideas which are very nascent and changing as we interact with them. NFTs seemed like a revolutionary way for artists to sell their work on their own terms and not have to fully rely on client work,” he says.

Justin Aversano has experienced more of the development of NFTs. “When I started looking into NFTs, it was all about collectibles and PFP [profile picture] projects.
