And if you find the right idea, it can also be quite profitable.
Since the beginning of this year, the cases of some memes that have been prove it sold at auction as one-of-a-kind pieces and through cryptocurrencies they have earned their creators tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The first and most famous is that of the so-called Disaster Girl, the little girl smiling with a burning house in the background, the meteorite fall that wipes out the dinosaurs, the sinking of the Titanic and so on, from tragedy to tragedy. That little girl is now in her twenties and has sold that image of herself as NFT, grossing over $ 570,000. He will use them to pay for his studies, he explained.
Among the other very famous and very expensive memes, there are Nyan Cat and the Sticky Girlfriend (in original language, Overly Attached Girlfriend), sold for over 510 thousand and almost 460 thousand dollars respectively: the first is the gif of a kitten that flies clinging to a biscuit and leaving a rainbow-colored trail; the second is the image of an overly anxious girl pursuing her partner with constant demands, created in June 2012 in response to a contest launched by singer Justin Bieber.
