How to Gift Someone a Last-Second NFT in Six (Somewhat) Simple Steps
Forget insane malls and hastily purchased loungewear—this year’s Hail Mary holiday gift will hit you right in the crypto wallet.
It’s one week until Christmas, and time to face the music: The non-fungible token is undoubtedly the gift of the season. It’s endlessly customizable, doesn’t require shipping, and is completely unaffected by the supply chain.
Ian Rogers would know; he’s the chief experience officer of Ledger, a crypto hardware wallet, who gifted NFTs (including one from the Atom Bomb Squad collection) to his 15-year old daughter. “The reality is that we as human beings love a value exchange. And to exchange value with a certain artist who makes you feel a certain way,” he says.
As for picking just the right NFT for your loved one, prepare for a learning curve. The range of NFTs is expansive, with nearly limitless options for sports fans, gamers, chefs, and music-lovers. Just make sure they know what an NFT is before you purchase one of these volatile assets. Then get a handle on the price you’re willing to pay, since NFTs can range from a couple dozen dollars to, well, a whole lot more.
