It was only a matter of time: non-fungible tokens or NFTs have seen a massive drop in sales since the beginning of 2022. In only nine months, the NFT sales have dropped by a whopping 97%.

The drop in sales alone isn’t the only problem, nor it came to being on its own. As it turns out, a bunch of NFTs has been fake or stolen and many accounts have been hacked, so it’s no wonder that people are rapidly losing interest and trust in digital collectibles.

Non-fungible tokens or NFTs still seem to be all the rage. It probably comes as no surprise that Meta wants to be a part of it, so from now on you can buy and sell NFTs on Instagram.

The new feature has been released as a test for some users in the U.S. As Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced, NFTs will become available on Facebook soon, too. This way, creators can offer their work, collectors can buy it, and Instagram gets yet another purpose that’s not photography.

From a photo-sharing platform, Instagram has almost become everything but one. So maybe this doesn’t come as a surprise – non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are soon to come to Instagram and join a bunch of non-photographic options that are already there.

This information is not merely a rumor. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently confirmed it, saying that NFTs are coming to Instagram over the next several months.

All you need to know to start using NFT as a photographer

The emergence of NFT (Non-Fungible Tokens) brings a new type of technology for establishing digital copyright of original content. This can help creatives, like photographers and artists, to create authentic claims that can be verified on a decentralized database called a blockchain. A blockchain permanently records the information which cannot be modified or deleted, since it is stored on many different computers. The computers are located throughout the world and operated by users who are incentivized to maintain the blockchain network to verify transactions. For NFT, it verifies a claim to ownership which records the data and issues a token that is given to a rightful owner.

I analysed 50 Top Landscape Photographers with accounts on the NFT auction platform, Foundation, between the dates of the 5th to 9th July (2021), to answer the following question:

How much do landscape photographers earn from selling NFTs?

Specifically, I used public data to compile:

  • My list of 50 Top landscape Photographers selling NFTs on Foundation, ranked in order of ETH sales between the snapshot dates (5th – 9th July 2021) to get a feeling for the range of earnings
  • Public details about the photographers, including Foundation account, country, short bio, and social media links to provide further context and follow-up for interested parties
  • Stats like the max, min, and average ETH sales of the 50 photographers combined
  • A list of the collectors who bought NFTs from them

SEC kills Kodak Bitcoin Mining “scam”

Back in January, during CES in Las Vegas, a strange object appeared on the Kodak stand. The Kodak KashMiner, the “Powerful Bitcoin Miner”. The idea was that people would be able to rent this machine for around $3,400, and then customers would be able to keep a portion of any Bitcoins it generated.

Spotlite, who ran the scam scheme said that users would pull in $9,000 over the first two years, providing a $5,600 profit after taking their initial investment into account. Now, the whole programme has been scrapped, and Kodak says that they never officially licensed the name to Spotlite.
