First NFT Sale! - Baby Steps- Finding my way with NFTs

avatar

Hail to the Hive!

I recently posted in Leo Finance how we were on a mission to be self sufficient online with #hive #crypto and exploring other means to be able to be ( ughh I hate using this term ) digital nomads. But the fact of the matter is after returning from 7 years in Asia and a spell in Jamaica before that, we are on a mission to be floating nomads on a narrowboat. No fixed mooring, just chugging along and ( hopefully) earning our living as we go.

So I decided to have a dabble making NFTs as my photography was garnering a lot of positive feedback on both #hive and other places such as youtube where I have a photo montage at the end of each vlog.

Now I'll admit I am feeling my way and wandering around in the dark and figuring it all out but had a lovely surprise while drinking my morning coffee today when an e mail came through with an offer for one of my NFTs.

WHOOP WHOOP!

Now if there was space on little Badger the narrowboat to do a back flip I may very well have attempted it, and probably crippled myself in the process, such was my delight.

And as novice as any of us maybe in whatever venture we enter into you can't under value the strengths that engagement and networking will bring to any project you venture into.

Big shout out to @krazzytrukker on the blockchain for purchasing my little piece of digital canal art. If all this takes off in the future remember you were the first to own a piece of my digital portfolio.

There had been a few favorites from other digital NFT artists which inspired me to expand my portfolio and now this sale will spur me on some more. It's both rewarding and motivating to find that someone enjoys whatever it is you've created no matter what it is.

So hopefully this is a step into a larger crypto environment and we can continue to venture further into both the crypto & canal worlds !

I was glad to hear it finally went thru. Error in the signing message on this end. On thatThe final click.

I do not like anything ethereum crypto based. Insane transaction fees. To move ETH and convert to Poly was double the list price.

Learning curve here too. I spent a few hours on Binance Smart Chain. Trying to bridge and lower that "Gas Fee".

I absolutely agree. This is so true. Best wishes for the NFT world, I feel that it is quite tough to survive there. Not demotivating, with the looks, you seem to flourish in the future.
